Just some observations:
1.) Purses from May 2010 being rolled over to October 2010: Rolling over a sponsorship means taking the pledge and using the same pledge from the same sponsor for the Oct event. The sponsor doesnt sponsor TWICE. So taking $150 and dividing by two isnt correct, ok? And some of my sponsors who agreed to sponsor in May had to back out for the October event due to economic reasons. Not my or the GSCA's fault. Just circumstances.
2.) Not bashing, but Reynolds wasnt 2 days Buick only. There were V8 Turbo Regals, Rails, BMW's, Dodge's, Chevy pickups, Pontiacs etc there both days. Again, not bashing but it is what it is. Very fun event though, even though they shut down the track on Friday at 4:30.
3.) The Nationals per day cost to play is on par with all of the other events. It cost me and 1 other person $90 to race in Reynolds for a day and a half since the track was only open on Friday from 11:00-4:30. Again, about the same as the other Buick events and had a great time.
4.) These events, including the GS Nationals, have got to make money or they wont be around for long. Dont begrudge them from making a profit. They all stick their necks out for us to have these events, especially in this economy.
5.) Do any of you here like to work for nothing??? I think not. Neither do the people that bust their humps putting on these Buick events.
6.) Instead of complaining, why not pick an event and pitch in some time and effort to help make it better? Or better yet, pick out a class and throw in $50 sponsor money? Its easier to be positive than negative, and I'm sure the event organizers would appreciate it too.
