i did the math for the tuesday races so far this year, and i'll just say that running it seems like a pretty sweet deal.

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.

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.

comments. Flyer was read while practicing 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.
