AMCC Entry fees

[Danger Dave]

Ok i can understand the increased entry fee for hampton downs and don't have an issue with that but pukekohe has gone from $95 up to $130 for club members & $150 for non members + $40 for a transponder its got to make it the most expensive club series there is, how come other clubs only charge $33.75 for transponders? i'm not expecting anything to come from this thread just wanted to have a rant.

Maybe the flag marshals joined the union?

[Matt Bleck]

maybe it's to try and offset the cost of the HD races?

Thats what i was thinking as well.

I'm still going to race though, just thought it was a pretty steep increase.

Cost to hire Pukekohe has gone up...

Real smart management at that track was my response

$130 for club members & $40 for a transponder!
$170 for a 10min practice & 3 x 8lap races?..

You can do an ART day & get 5 to 6 sessions with free launch & a BBQ afterwards
for $120...Eow

But a trackday is not the same as a Race day

You mean all clubs don't do $50 entry and $20 transponder hire like down here in Canterbury

edit: and free spectator entry

what ripped my undies was the friggin cost just to stand out in the rain to watch.....
$15 entry fee.. last time i'll be there.. unless i can get there early and say i'm racing...

one thing i did notice on my way to HD to watch the first round was, just before i got there there was the MX on.... it was PACKED with bikes and people...

you would have passed the pukekohe MX club clubday at the Mercer sand track,

it was one of the smaller days we had there this year

$20 for members,
$30 for non members,
$10 for transponder hire (cheaper transponders to buy tho)

but the costs to run both meetings are very different, the road race clubs have huge costs with the hire of circuits, mx clubs do not,

How are they different exactly? Surely they are doing the same job?

& transponders are not compulsory?
