    Evelyne: "Who's this Edith Kraft on the results?"

    Me: "Never heard of her."

    :D

    That's interesting. I don't know anything about this, would the equation be different if it was only for Experts? If contingency isn't generally helpful, is there something a company like BMW could do that does help an organization like WERA and makes grids bigger, bring money to the series, etc etc? I like to think if my racing expenses got cut in half, I'd be at the track twice as often, but maybe that doesn't usually happen.

    You have to look at who wins the money - it's usually the same half a dozen or dozen riders which does nothing for the hundreds of others. Doesn't matter who it goes to.

    What they could do that would help is cash sponsorship to cover things like ever increasing track rental and help us keep costs down to you guys. Just got word yesterday the base bill for Road Atlanta for Cycle Jam will be 60 grand...

    So, have you factored in the sex change costs yet?

    Will they let you make payments?

    :D Is that S. Cal sofa and garage space, or Montana?

    Not sure I could handle the weather up there, so that will be a factor in my decision.

    Wow, that sounds like it is more than Miller..ahhh...Utah motorsports campus.

    I'm sure Cycle Jam is a better more profitable event. I just remember years ago hearing what the rental fee was for Miller, and thought it was around $50K. I thought that was the most expensive place you rented, and wondered how you could keep going there? As I recall isn't AAA Speedway $25-30K for one day and that's why you split the weekend with Fastrack Riders?

    She's a nice girl. Always cat-fighting with Christina Broome though.

    Christina Broome is a slut...

    Lol weird how these ladies come in and don’t even take their helmets off before going in their trailers/motorhomes. Then disappear the rest of the day.

    jonathanp Tech drop out

    You have a 2015 or newer BMW some where you wanna sponsor me with? I am sure Mongo will let me come back as a novice. I will even start working tech again.

    Weird how everyone in the pits has number plates by the dozens, and half are yellow and half are white. Business gonna be booming for PopShadowDecals and DrippinWet! :D

    All depends on what is included what they cost per day base and then total. Total out the door Road Atlanta I think is most, followed closely by ACS and Barber and yeah UMC was up there too which is why we had to stop when they wouldn't cut us a deal any longer.

    Total out the door cost for us yes. Base cost it looks cheaper but the after bill racks things up and Barbers base includes more. They're not all that far apart really. GNF last year pushed 90k total I believe (don't have the numbers handy).
