    I paid 175 last year. And 180 this year. Got the membership and paid for the weekend in order to get the discounts.

    Don’t forget to add the gate fee. +$10/15 per person. Going with wife? +$20/30

    Grattan gate/stay over/whatever fees can be a little much. If you habe no plans to leave the track for the weekend you can always say youtlr just staying for the 1 day

    I have to disagree with you on this one. I don't feel like grattan's gate fees are too much. Cheaper than most i think. I also don't think you should encourage people to cheat the track owners out of what is a reasonable gate fee. Just my two cents.

    you might be right on not encouraging. but it does happen and as far as other gate fees and cost there really isn't any gate fees at other tracks through STT. Just camping fees usually. But to pay 10 bucks a pop for the day now 40 bucks for the weekend if you bring someone with you on top of my track day that's a lot. It gets brought up on here all the time. Nothing will change its just what Grattan does. used to be cheaper but every year seems it just keeps going up I wouldn't be surprised this year if its $20 per person per day.

    Not true Barber is $5 a day and $30 a day for camping (not sure what Grattan costs for that). I realize that costs going up sucks but look around you for the cost of everything. More has gone up that stayed the same.

    As long as Grattan is privately owned by the Faasen family I don’t think you’ll ever see the gate fee go away. Why would they it’s thousands $$cash in Sam’s pocket every weekend.

    Yeah. At $195 per day, plus the stupid entry fee, I will NOT be going to Grattan any more. I don't know how they justify that cost.

    The weekend bundle in 2015 cost me $310, now it's $350. Inflation over those years should put us around $330 tops. I wonder about that extra $20.

    Sucks, and I don't think it's on STT's side. The Gingerman cost is great by comparison.

    Buuuut, it won't stop me. I love Grattan.
