I used to love the atmosphere, but with commercialism being shoved down my throat at every turn, it burned me out to no extent.

Yeah, the seat I turned down was $500 regularly (the same seat I was in for the earlier race I did go to). Totally not worth it, especially for Pocono. I left early for the first race and will probably not go again for a while.
