Copied email from source in the know(not PSport)that rather remain anonymous for obvious reasons.
" FYI, P-Sport has the contract from SCCA to make the stage notes and is paid a certain fee by SCCA. Kurt Spitzner gets the notes and has them copied and sells them to the competitors at what I agree is too high for the number of sets he's been selling. P-Sport has not been making any substantial profit so far because of the start up cost and the lease of the black box for each event. In fact P-Sport has based its cost and profit margin on the entire SCCA schedule and will probably only break event for the first year.
SCCA is definitely getting a huge money return and should be cutting the cost for the notes to less than $75 a set. I would like to give some more info but some of it is confidential between P-Sport and SCCA."
"It was my impression that Kurt was going to reduce the cost as soon as he saw the number of notes being bought but it seems he's greedier than I thought. He obviously wants to look good in the eyes of the three manufacturers and SCCA. Kurt is for number ONE, Mr. Spitzner. I'm not too impressed with the few dealings I've had with him, and I'm not surprised at the Rim and Cherokee rallies going it alone, too much direction from SCCA, making decisions without input by the organizers."
Told you so.
If SCCA is non-profit, either reduce the cost or start a prize fund with the profit.
