First off, thanks Bill VERY MUCH for providing a direct comparison of rally fees for Prescott. The comparison between Pro and Club was illuminating to many of us.
(If you haven't seen this, it's buried in a long thread about "when will Pro be pro?" -- http://www.specialstage.com/forum/cgi-bin/DCForumID2/957.html#28 )
While there were a few things that change from year to year -- one time expenses, for example, another change that didn't appear was, I believe, sanction fee. Didn't the Pro sanction fee (or maybe it was the Pro insurance fee) go up dramatically in 2002? This would have made the delta even wider. Boy, I can see why you guys elected not to revert to Pro when the SCCA offered to let you have Rim's date as a Pro event.
A trivial question: I noticed you had to pay for an ad in your regional magazine, the Roadrunner. Did you receive any support from your local SCCA region? If not, did you ask? I recognized a few of the workers from the Road Racing crowd, good people like Jerry and Marty in registration, and checkpoint workers like Bob and Bruce, but otherwise I didn't see any regional presence at all. On the other hand, as a competitor I don't often see stuff in the back so I thought I'd ask.
Again, Thanks Bill for "dropping trou" and showing us all the financial goodies for Prescott. Hopefully "dropping trou" didn't mean "assume the position"!
