It’s hard when the tracks don’t support local racers. It’s a two way street. When all the big money is gone and you have to depend on the locals and you haven’t supported them. Then both sides lose out. You think the sanctioning bodies would step up with a proposed plan to help out both sides of the gate.
“SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TRACK!”
Unless they raise admission. Then apparently we’re boycotting. 🫠
The tractor costs more. The glue costs more. Insurance costs more. Employees cost more.
But somehow, the gate fee is supposed to stay the same forever.
We want better facilities and national event prep, then act surprised when somebody expects us to help pay for it.
Nobody owes us a place to race at a loss. And “they should host concerts to pay the bills” raises another question: If concerts make money and racing loses it, why keep scheduling races?
Would you pay more to keep your local track open—or are racers already paying all they reasonably can?
