I asked if they would consider lowering our fee to be more comparable to what other tracks are charging us $250 to help offset the additional cost of insurance and to help draw more Slingshots
Hell if you don't try you never know!

Wow!!! I hate to be the elephant in the room but thats really sticking it to you
I don't know why they inflated the rates to you but thats almost $150 more than the typical open track day at RRR and RA for events like Chin,HSR(Car) and even Ed Bargey and Kinsey programs(bike) when I instructed at those events. Are you sure they didn't include track instruction or something because thats the range we get for classroom and track time with or without licensing

Roebling Road is a non spectator track since the mid 90s due to insurance policies and the growing neighborhoods around the facility. Just say you are with a certain person helping out.

If you'd like, I could set up a "Cruise In" at one of the local food spots for that night out the night before. I deal with them on a daily basis. Just let me know which day and what time.

@MACAWS I'd really like to run this track, but $400+ is INSANE. They can stick that up their ass! $250 is still hefty, but definitely more palatable then $400+

I can't afford to run with Rich Racer if it's going to be $400+

Are the tracks that are being compared with lower rates , non spectator tracks ?
All costs at RRR have to be taken care of by track rental and concessions only.
Not wild about higher costs but certainly willing since this is not a regular for me . The last time I was on this track was early 80's on a Bike

To be fair, my only comparison is Summit Point, but it is not a spectator track. That is to say that spectators are allowed, but there is no charge for them to come out and watch.

I agree with @Wrenchmn yes it is high, but still not something that I would be doing all of the time

It apears that Summit Point Does have many Spectator events at 15.00 - 30.00 per person to supplement costs of the track . RRR has none and is solely dependent upon charges for track and sponsors . Still doesnt make me want to pay more but certainly helps explain higher price

Roebling Road is in a unique position @ neighborhoods have been developing around them for a while now. I remember when they decided to remove the grand stands and go non spectator. Its about the attraction and traffic flow in and out that seemed to be the root cause. Rates and use were not affected nor did the cost for such events go up or down. A similar thing happened to Little Talladega (motorcycle track) when the farm country became urban.
The management team will not stop you from entering the track but will charge you a crew fee and have you sign the waiver.
I spoke with Nabil at Just Track It about going to one of his events but he said we are Bikes under his insurance and can't participate at a car event.

Sort of leaves us with one other option.
Rent the track for our own use if there is enough interest and break up the costs among the participants.

I'm in.

If you are looking for hotel rooms, search either Pooler, Ga or the Savannah Airport. That will have you closer to the track, and keep you out of downtown where the price goes up dramatically.
