I got there today for the opening bell at noon, and by 3:15 or so had only been able to get to 3 pits. The lines were no better than last year, but because the event was on Madison ave. this year at least there was a little elbow room . After waiting on the first line for the Saltlick,I decided the Fastpass seemed to be the way to go. I tried to buy a pass, only to be told that the card readers were not working so they would not sell anymore. This happened early on, and they said even people who had purchased the pass in advance would have to stand on the regular cash lines. Hopefully this will be fixed by tomorrow. I will have to try the pass next year, tomorrow I'm off to the seafood festival in Belmar
