gate fee for racers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : New England Motocross Racing : One Thread

In the nesc why do the racers have to pay gate fee. I will be racing two classes and the price for the day will be 40 bucks without the gate fee, thats stupid I want to take it easy on my dad it will all add up if i want to race every weekend. My brother plays high school hockey and he gets a players pass and does not have to pay the four beans to get in, why cant we do that for the racers because let alone that, we gotta pay for parts and all that crap.

I think it would be a great idea if just the racers got a pass so that they did not have to pay gate fees. If you went to every race and was in 2 classes every weekend it really adds up. If you drove a race car you do not have to pay gate fees. I thing you should come up with a way so that just the racer did not have to pay gate fees. But that does not mean you should up the cost for each race class, to off set what money you loose at the gate from the racer either.
