Part of the problem is the expense.
The PIR track costs almost $300 a night to rent. The truck rental is $50,
the first aid person and the officials all get paid. So I would imagine
that the cost for a PIR is $550 before the first rider shows up. It costs
$2.25 per person for the liability insurance and surcharges.
There is no charge to use Alpenrose. We do not use the truck and the race
organizer is a first aid provider, so the costs are much less then PIR. It
is only $5 entry fee for juniors, adults pay $10.00.
Do the math. If the race organizer doe snot make a profit there will be no
events for you to race.

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] Tuesday PIR retraction
I am going to take this email as an opportunity this jedi has been pondering
over about PIR as well....Why 15 bucks a shot every Tuesday? That seems a
little steep for a weekly event. Unless PIR wants some ungodly amount to use
the venue, 15 almost seems like a drastically over priced for what it is.
Yes, i know you can buy a season pass, but some of us are not in Portland
for the entire PIR season, but want to do more than one PIR a month. At
least the Eugene weekly series is 10, But by far the best deal is 5 bucks to
race on the track. Now thats a steal. And there are officials and everything
there just like PIR, the only possible difference is that PIR wants money
for us being there. But as far as i see it, there is no reason a weekly
series race should cost almost as much as other events that are only held
once a year.
Just some of my thoughts and others that i have gathered over time.

self-asphyxiation with Miyagi's brown belt and he did not realize that 4's
can race with 3's. Since Cobra Kai will now be paying less that $1 per mile,
he may attend. Cobra Kai apologizes to owners of PIR but still feels sorry
for Cat V.
