Damn reg is $350 now? I expect a top notch racing facility!
NOLA is $285 and an Indy level facility vs TWS crumbling apart.
And that is the early price? Vs. $418 for the two single days... My season may have gotten short.Quote:

I have no idea what the numbers are but I am going to guess. $40k take for a long weekend, not too shabby.Quote:

Thanks for the heads up Sean, I just registered.
Have we always paid $75.00 for a garage? How about $199.00 for Friday test and tune and $159.00 for half a day. I paid $75.00 at MSRH for half a day. Got four sessions for that $75.00. WOW!

Anything under $400 is cheap for registration and I'll take that over the $500 scca majors entry fee any day that has half the track time.
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?Quote:

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.
Registered thru the end of the season...
True, but it's a customer service business that relies on discretionary spending.Quote:

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.Quote:
