Jamie, it doesn't work like Lfest, you have to pay for 2 4-day passes for you and wife ($120), then pay diff for you too race ($150-60), which will be another $90. So, you're looking at $210 for you and wife and race in Pro. (also includes pit pass). Of course, you will have 2 entrys for the giveaway.

Everybody, also keep in mind that when you get to the gate, they want CASH, no plastic.

One of the other reasons that Lfest is such a good deal, especially when compared to other events. It INCLUDES you, wife (or gf), and racing in 1 class! The only reason to pay more, is if you also race TS.
 
Jamie, I know it's confusing if you haven't gone thru it before.

First, when you go in the racer's entrance, you gotta pay for the 2 4-day passes ($60 ea) and they will give you a pit pass. Do NOT stick it on the outside of the windshield like they tell you - many have been stolen that way. I stick mine to the backside of the mirror so they can still see it to let us back in.

Then find your pit spot. And then both you and wife go up to the racer's registration (don't know where it'll be yet). There, you pay for your race class, which will be the $150 minus what you've already paid for the 4-day pass since the entry fee includes the pass cost. They will give you and your wife wrist bands that identify you as a racer and wife as "crew member". She will be allowed in the staging lanes up to, but not including, the starting line.

You filll out a tech sheet for your class, get your tech card and then head to the tech inspection line. First, you'll go thru NHRA tech, the WFC class tech.

Is that about it guys?
 
Everybody (the big guys included) has to pay for the 4-day pass, but then the entry fee varies depending on class. And since the entry fee includes the 4-day pass, they do it this way.
 
I believe you can have up to 3 "crew members" per vehicle, but each will have to pay for the 4-day pass (if they come in Thur).

So, they can both have full access to the pits, vendors, staging lanes, everything except the starting line.
