Here we go on the cost of racing again... I think Tabor is probably one of
the best venues we have for racing. It's great fun for the racers, and
great fun for the fans. It's worth every penny.

As for the comments about not seeing yourself in the results... Is all I can
say is that I've been racing Tabor for five years, I have DNF'd, placed, not
placed, shown up in the results, and not shown up in the results. When I
don't show up in the results, I deal with it and come back next week with
the personal goal of finishing high enough to make the results. Again, try
to understand how hard it is to place riders on a short course like Tabor...
if you don't know how hard it is, offer to volunteer and THEN see how you
feel about it.
