Breifly, racers(non bike race organizers/promoters) all need to realize
is adding categories adds to the cost of the event in general. Lets
look at facts here when adding more categories at your average road
race. Please read below!
Facts:
-need more registration volunteers to handle more racers(categories)
-adding an another category adds one more offical(usually) costing
approx. $45.00-50.00per day. Along with gas/mileage comp for them to get
to the event and drive and follow race around.
-for a multiple day race, that would include more than 2-3hrs driving to
get to race that would mean officials coming to race area night before
race, and night before second day. So say you have 5-6 officials, seeing
that they dont share a room, at an average hotel thats $50.00 per night
per room.
-Food for lunches for officials(5-6) per day approx. $3-4
-if your county or state permit requires certified flaggers on the race
course at traffic control devices, thats approx. $25-45 hr for them. Not
just one but 2-3 per corner. How do certified flaggers relate to
categories? Well say you have 3 races in the morning, starting at
10am-10:30am, then second group of 3 races at 1pm, that means from
10am-approx 3-4pm you are paying the flaggers. You add it up!
More races, equals more money spent....end of story....
YA want more examples, JUST ASK....I'll tell you all about race
organization and promotions till your sick!!!!!!

I think before some of you jump on the band wagon and start whining about
this and that from the first race of the year, Step up and promote this
perfect race and show use how it done in your perfect little world.
