Slice them into 2 payments please...
Example:
Make your first RA event $50 ($100 total for driver / co-driver)
Make your second RA event $50 ($100 total for driver / co-driver)
Third event - FREE!
(as you paid for your license)
If you want to join the nationals it's $50 (Just for points - not for the opportunity to run a 3 day rally...)
Now - organizers may not do this anymore. I seem to remember MFPR being split up into a 1(or 2) day club rally and a 3 day pro rally. So if I wanted to do all three days at Maine (I realize the 3 day entry fee would be more) - I'd also have to cough up $300 for myself and my co-driver to do a regional "national" event.
Some may say - "Oh my sheesh it's JUST $200."
I say - "Spread the payments out - we're on a budget here."
In Dodge Neon money = $200 could buy me: A set of rims, or 2 rally tires, or a tranny, or a strut, or half a used motor, or two doors, or front windshield, etc. etc.
What happened to us last year:
In our region we have 3 'close' RA events & 4 'close' NASA events.
We considered running Treeline at $425. Then you add $200 for the licenses and now that's $625. The only way to get your 'monies worth' is to run 2 or 3 RA events. It's GREAT that I have the ability to do that - but some may not. We only had the budget for 2 rallies last year. In this case, why would I do 1 RA event and 1 NASA event??
With NASA we paid $80 (driver and co-driver) for our first event at Gorman Ridge, then paid $100 more in Prescott. A lot easier for us and it supported the decision to run NASA events last year. (We volunteered to help at Treeline instead!)
That's it... Payments
Think about the guys that have 3 RA events and 1 NASA event local to them. How about the guys that have 3 NASA events and 1 RA event local to them? On a regional (local) rally - $80 is always better then $200.
Anyone else in this situation?
This topic is NOT for discussion of - which event is better, which organization is better, etc.
