Well I was all set to enter the series until I saw the cost of the entry fee. Now I'm not because I can't afford it and I know others who are in the same boat... just saying....

As the numbers reduce he cost per punter increases.Originally Posted by kifflom
The amount of people going to Readings reduced when tickets were $16.50 now tickets are $10. Lots of peeps going to the Pictures at the moment.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

That's unfortunate for you. But you do realise the track has to turn a profit right? There are investors waiting for a return on a METRIC SHIT TON of money to buy and finish/upgrade the track.
Why do kiwis so begrudge anyone making a buck, or even someone being good at something?
Got me fucked, people are just cunts.

i'm confused, calipers have pads, drums have shoes, and you think you know more than the scrutineer?
Pootler
Thats obvious.

Careful. Chap you're suggesting doesn't get it has been at ever race event I've attended for ten years since I started. And the twenty years before that. He raced, now helps organise and provides commentary all over the country. All for the love too.
So perhaps he has an insight you are yet to discover.
It takes 30 seconds to take a brake pad out of a bike. I'm sure the confusion over yours was easily squared up.

Scrutineer was being a twat, all he had to do was move a foot or two and look. Those pads did another 15,000ks. I pulled them out a week or so back.

This isn't about people demanding the track makes a loss, but rather people arguing that the cost required now to take part is out of their reach (whether literal or otherwise).
What is a 'Perceived Value'?
Perceived value is the worth that a product or service has in the mind of the consumer. For the most part, consumers are unaware of the true cost of production for the products they buy; instead, they simply have an internal feeling for how much certain products are worth to them.

I don't begrudge anyone trying to make a buck. Just making the point that a lot of us cunts won't be showing up to race at HD as often as we used to...

Stop being so sanctimonious about it Drew. At a certain point a lot of people will go, ya know? I think I'll buy another dirtbike again. That's a shit load of fun and I'll have money left to pay the rent, feed the kids etc.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Done my share of that for motorsport, was marshal, point chief etc.
In the riders seat
I'm just about there
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Trail rides seem to be about $35 a shot, and you can ride all day. No Brainer.
Ta
Yeah they will. New ones will come to make some of those numbers back up, and the rest will be retrieved in higher costs again. I'm not being sanctimonious by accepting that.
To boil it down. I'm an advocate for people to pay up, come up with something to increase numbers (though costs won't go down they'll just rise slower), or don't bitch.
It sucks when you can't afford to race. But it's a commodity and not the right of every rider to take if they choose.
