Ten bucks I believe per day for general parking.

That is what I recall when I went to the track back in 2003. I am sure some of the Pomona regulars can give a firm price.

Yes, $10 basic at the Finals last Nov., but rising in $10 increments to $40 (if I remember) the nearer you park to the entry gates.
Why pay more than the basic, just to shave a few yards off the walk? Got legs, use them.

Pomona also has $25 pitside and $40 if you are tailgating (i.e. BBQing at your designated space). The $40 spaces are a lot further from the gate than the $25 spots.

$10-standard, $15-preferred, $25-pitside, and $40-tailgate; I like the $15 spots; they aren't that much more money and they save quite a bit of walking. $25 is getting a little steep but they are great spots.

If you are a cheapskate like me, and you end up parking by the train, there is an outhouse on the way to assist you during your long trek to the gate.

A few times, I got picked up by the courtesy golf carts they have helping people.

Sees youse guys there.

Re: Parking at Pomona- cost?

Sorry for hijacking this thread.
It's been quite a few years since I've gone to Pomona (the day after Herberts big explosion), I have a bad back and can't walk very far so I stopped going... Speaking of courtesy carts, they have them ?? What do you do or how would you utilize the service ??

If I can figure this out I might be able to go for the first time in what 8 years... that was in 99 or 2000, right ?

Thanks in advance.

The courtesy carts are based behind the pitside finish line grandstand. Just show up there when you need a lift to your car. The guy we had was pretty cool, he gave us his cell # and we`d just call him to come out to the car for our ride back in. My brother in law had arthroscopic knee surgery a couple years ago and we used the service all weekend. That driver did pretty well on tips that weekend, I know that!

Looks like owning a parking lot in Calif is the hot money maker.

Re: Parking at Pomona- cost?

My wife broke her leg about 3 yrs ago..... and wouldn't just know that I'm so old and senile i keep forgetting to throw away the Handicap sticker...

I promise I will get rid of it next yr ! Yea I know its wrong, but I am old enough to collect SS & I see many people who look better than Arnold Schwarzenegger parking in the handicap spots also...
