Re: Russell new cars?

Based on the amount of regulars we have lost in the last year or two how can they think pricing has not affected the series? In addition cutting certain team building events has aided in the loss of family we have always had. Not that we don't still have it, but it is not as strong as it once was.

The only weekends where we have the number of drivers needed to be profitable is when they are combined weekends.

Here is the current Russell pricing:

2007 Pricing:
Two-Day Race Weekend: $2,295
Single Day Race Weekend: $1,250
Friday Lapping Day: $1,095
Thursday Lapping Day: $1,095
Extra Lapping Session(s) on Lapping Days: 350 for one; $450 for two; $550 for three
Bonus Qualifying on Race Day: $350
Bonus Race (no points): $350

FYI, their last season champion was young Patrick Barrett who raced with us last year at Mt Tremblant for the first time.

Granted they dont have everything to offer that we have in our series, but there are many other options. An the old saying goes, when you stop getting better, you stop being good. The competition always seeks opportunity. It would be a damn shame if things continue to go this way.
