All these comments are based on the supposition that +/- $1500(based on the previously submitted dumb math) is an enormous amount of pure profit. As I see it there are about +/-(5) people spending 3 hours to pick up the truck and do set up and breakdown for the race. These people if they were to be union paid would probable demand at least $100/hour x (5) people x (3) hours = $1500 (my own dumb math) I assume there are other costs that have not even been mentioned. Thankfully most of the these people donate their time so that we can afford to race.

In fact if I were running it I would propose raising the rate and having another porta john, hiring some cheerleaders and a band, maybe some of those blower trucks to dry off the track, like they have in NASCAR, oh and a pace car, pretzel stand and beer garden.

Oh forget all that $15 to go race around a track is a friggin' bargain, even if I always lose.
