Perhaps because tracks and people's time cost money?

just so people know every event we have put on we loose money
the cost of the lot and insurance comes out of vipra funds
if not enough people show up we cover the loss
either way doesnt bother me
if nobody comes im more than happy to pay full cost for lot rental and ride all day
if others want to join us i dont think 15 is alot to ask
f440 charges 50 and you have to wait for rental carts
also we have 400+ cones to make a track
track varries every week
see you there

Thx for the input Sleeves. Your totally right.
We still take a loss every time, but now i think we are getting enough regulars that we can break even. We usually try and bring some refreshments for club members.
You missed Quesnel!! What a sweet track. Got to ride my first shifter bike in the 3 hr endurance race. Yamaha TTR 125. Awsome experience, and another wicked group of people. You'll have to try and go outta your way next year for that one.
Seeya soon.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me our test and tune nights are around forty dollars, race days around seventy! And worth every single penny!
