for those of you of dont have an issues with the pricing increase... i understand most of your points... but what you arent seemingly thinking about is "where will this end?" in one year 60% increase whats the increase going to be next year. i agree with you all that the shops/track owners are in business to make money, and i gladly support them (travel to race) but the love of the hobby should speak heavily. look at whats happened in the hobby, classes dying off, others came close to it, far less shops/tracks nationwide.... why do you think that is... lack of commitment by the patrons and lack of commitment to the patrons/racers... we'll see what some of you say next year when the price jumps again because you dont express a problem with the steep increase! i understand inflation and the cost of doing business.... but lets not get carried away
