pfft please. apples to oranges.

10 minute drive, 4 hours of fun and 35$

vs

12 hours of driving, 48 hours of time, 300$ or more, and 4 hours of fun.

plus, only happened once, and it was due to the financial investment involved. Thanks.

16 hours of fun. Every one I have been to has been a two-day event. Sure, you aren't on the track 8 hours a day, but you are talking it up about the track in between sessions, watching and listening to the other sessions, and having an overall orgasmic time.

Also worth every penny of your entertainment (and skill development) dollar!

Don't think I am belittling the cage fights, though. I really want to go to the next one!

What happened at the fights?

We had a great time @ the Bob & Tom Comedy All-Stars event. My ribs probably feel like some of the losers from the fights. I laughed my ass off for 2 hours.
