    Granted I know nasa has always had a $300 entry for yrs but things get more expensive as time goes on.
    The recent NASA fee creep (in RM) seems to equate to around 25% of my yearly pay increase, though admittedly that goes up at around half the national average for the last few years (which I figure still exceeds that of some). Point being, it's noticeable and not really commensurate with my overall increase in expenses outside of racing. Is this the price we pay to play? Or have our regional NASA reps held out on price increase in the past and are now playing catch up? Do I sound like my parents preaching about what a gallon of milk cost back in the day?

    I know I sound like a broken record but NASA is a business. It is not here for a non profit for the benefit of racers. So it's simply the "Law of Demand" from Econ 101. I guess the govt. should recalculate CPI taking out Racing like they do with food and energy-I mean what else is left.

    True, but it's a customer service business that relies on discretionary spending.

    I refuse to go to any NTB because one time, ONCE, 15 years ago their salesman Benji flat out lied to me about a tire availability. I don't have to go to NTB, I don't have to race.

    So while it is a business, it has to continue to provide "value" (which is much more than price) to its customers.

    Any business person will tell you now is the best time to increase rates, when other expenses (fuel) is going down. Consumers will say it just washes out.
    No sense in letting the consumer get a leg up. Just because our other expenses go down, and because they can charge what they want, doesn't make it right.
