They have power along the fence closest to the track.  You have to rent the box to plug in your cords and it will give you enough to run some warmers and a radio.

They have more power up on the second/third tier too.  No boxes needed but I believe you do have to pay for it.

They have added electrical poles about every 20 feet in the shrubs on each layer that have 110 power outlets, they have also upgraded the pa.

While I agree that 25$ per day is steep, I highly doubt that MR. Barber is getting richer off of his racetracks major spectator events, let alone club racing.  Im sure he is a long way away from recouping his initial investment.
