--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I am new here but I keep seeing that the next round could be canceled and this is concerning. I know we are running a deficit but with all the promotion to get spectators out for the next weekend, rounding up new sponsors and racers, and the trackday coming up next week and Cobra rides at the race etc. wouldn't we be doing a huge disservice to the club to cancel the round regardless of whether it is profitable or not?
I think I have done my part to raise some cash for the club and it would leave a pretty bad taste in my mouth if we left everyone high and dry after all this effort and might drive sponsors and supporters away for next year as well.
So we have close to 80 entries, the board knows how many classes each person is signed up for, 100 entries doesn't cover it if they are all for endurance classes, so do we have an actual breakdown of how much entries are bringing in, how many spectators we need, and how many people need to show up to the trackday Monday?
Hell I am not even here for the next round as I have a vacation that has been planned for a year but I am still going to donate some cash and pay for the trackday. Can we get some idea of how much we really have to make up?
