Things just cost what they cost. SCCA memberships are around $80, on 
the average everybody--members and non members- pay the same over the 
season. .
   Insurance is THE big cost. No way to avoid it. You can't use other's 
property unless properly insured.
    The Mitty entry was $500. You simply had to decide to go or not. It 
just cost what it cost. I decided, it was worth the cost.
     Another example is food cost for banquets. it isn't the food cost, 
it's the hall rental and the chance to be with and honor your friends.
     The car hobby is EXPENSIVE, but you can't argue it down. It just 
cost what it costs.

Smitty Says;  Boy you can tell these folks don't give a damn if they 
get new members or not.  If you want to play with us, Bring money.  
Almost the cost of a years CORSA membership for three laps of an 
autocross track.


What do feel a fair price should be? They just might have to pay for 
radios, fire extinguishers, timing equipment, transporting the timing 
trailer to different tracks, insurance, paperwork, orange cones and 
probably a lot of other items that I'm not aware of.

Anything that involves cars is expensive.
