VICTORY SIDE - that's awesome, I wish more places allowed for that...

This day and age (at least in CA) it seems all anyone thinks or cares about is $$$ and/or getting Sued.

To use the local school grounds, I have to provide them with insurance of $2,000,000.00 non aggregate liability coverage. Then they charge "per hour" to use the facility (We use about 5,000 sq. ft. of a 150,000 sq. ft. parking area.) Granted, we only pay $15.00 per hour, and they haven't been charging us for 'Setup and Tear down' time. (otherwise we'd be paying for roughly 10 hours a day, instead we pay for 5) Plus, they charge an additional $15.00 "non-refundable" processing fee when I submit an application for our race dates.

The use of the parking area does not give us use of the school restroom facilities (That would be approx another $30.00 per hour + custodian fees), so we rent a portable toilet unit for each race day (@ $92.00 a day)
