However there are several practice sessions on Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Also, the last day to fax your pre-entries is 04/11/03.

Call Y-Tack.  He is probably the only one with enough $$$ to rent the track for a day.

I doubt Dave will want to take the financial risk of renting the track. Cost would be in the neighborhood of $14,000, rain or shine. So 70 riders at $200 each to break even.

I wonder how much it is to rent it for a day.  ???

The rates vary. I am not sure about their policy about renting to an individual. For LCR, the rate is in the neighborhood of $14,000 per day, rain or shine.

So you're just a "board racer" then???

You spend 28k on racing per year? holy moly... I don't think I spend even half that. Last year I probably spent 9k max and did 10 rounds. Are we talking the cost of bike and trailer included in that figure?

I'm hoping to spend less than $37.42 this year.  I think that's my current checking balance.

Post by: TZDeSioux on April 09, 2003, 12:33:53 PM
37.42?? not bad... I can't even pull all my money out of my checking because the ATM dispenses in $20 increments and I only have $10.  :(

Fool, haven't you picked up the fact that we don't have any $$$ to bail you out of jail?   ::)
