It's a track run practice...so they are screwing us, basically.  I've been to other tracks that charge a lot less...

Not sure what to say...

Need to run in my motor though.

If I had known that the CCS had not reserved the Friday for practice I would have rented the track and held a practice day for everyone at a much more reasonable price.

Dean- that's why I was asking you why you didn't do your thing before the race weekend as apposed to after it.  I'd love to give you my money over giving it to MAM.

Rich- We'll be there for the rip off practice day on Friday, see you there all weekend.  We'll save you a spot next to us or the Halls.

S(P)ooner- You gotta try harder than that to be offensive to this group!  See you at MAM.

Where does it say its $175 at?  I checked their calender and the CCS one and all it says is MAM is hosting the test and tune day, but not how much.  Usually they can run the trackdays cheaper for race license holders because of the insurance they have to pay, so generally they hook us up-thats pretty shitty if they are just sticking it to us because they know a number of us have to do that day...still grumbling... ;D

That's rough...I just got that price confirmed.  Ouch!
Don't they know we are broke?  I may just do a half day  :'(

Members get almost half off, but it's like $350 for a membership.

Anyone have any pull at that track?  We need to get that price adjusted a bit.

[Thingy]

I called them again and confirmed the price.  I then told her that was 2 1/2 times what some other tracks were charging and asked her why it was so expensive.  She responded (politely) that was the standard price and she was sorry if I did not like it.  I (politely) responded that I was sorry that she would not get my business.  :-/

$175!!!! WHAT!!! Are they on crack?!? We went there with CRA and the friday practice day was $75.00! Good thing I already got some track time there this year!

I think we should all boycott the trackday. If no one signs up they may realize that it's not worth the expense to pay all the cornerworkers and ambulances unless they make it feasible for people to be able to afford it! I mean, I can see street people paying it for a trackday, but for us to pay $175.00 for practice and then you add $400+ in entry fees, it turns into one very expensive weekend!

i live about 2 hrs. from the track and thursdays are open track days. it's like $100 to run from noon till dark on one of those days. it's only $50 if you get there after 4 p.m. this $175 stuff is crap. i was planning on doing thursday and friday. don't know what they're thinking, but i'll be there thursday and not friday. that is if it's dry, i saw on the weather channel this morning that there's a chance of rain everyday from thurs.-sun.

I think we should all boycott the trackday.

Took the words out of my mouth.  S P 0 0 N E R informed me today that an executive decision has been made to skip the practice due to the cost (funny - don't remember being consulted on that one - although I am in favor)  I think it would be a great idea if we all boycotted it - at that price I'll due a track day (or even two) and get my fix.

Chuck - we'll be up Friday afternoon so please save us a spot - preferrably a big one as we'll have two trucks and a pop up camper this time.

$175 is absurd.

But, since it's my only race weekend this year, I guess I'll do it.  *sigh*

[Mark Bernard]

I wanted to run Friday since I have never been there but.... I'll be d a m n e d if I am going to pay $175! Count me in on the boycot.
