"Your race fees go to ROAR and Cover thursday controlled pratice,Friday,Saturday and Sunday racing."
Well, SOME of it goes to ROAR, not all of it. The track will make $3000 minimum, if you do NONE of the below. From the Nationals Guidelines:
"The Host will receive $3,000 as a guaranteed fee from the ROAR Administrator for hosting the event to be paid as follows:
$2000 ninety days prior to the event.
$1000 upon event completion (final day)
The Host will also receive $30 for each entry exceeding an entry count of 150 entries to be paid from the Administrator’s office within ten days of the event completion.
The Host retains all other monies received including:
sponsorship funds
table rental fees:
Open or indoor 2’ x 4’ table and chair pit space - $15 max
Covered 2' x 4’ table and chair pit space - $35 max.
concessions
tee shirt sales and race souvenirs
additional handout motor and tires sales (see handouts section.)
raffle monies received for products designated for raffle by the manufacturers."
The potential is there to make $3000 to $5000, or more, WITHOUT charging for practice. So, I guess I have to ask again, "Why the charge for additional practice days?" Quite frankly, Wednesday should be a free, full day of practice and Monday and Tuesday the track should be closed.
