$85 to RACE!!!
Shouldn't the people putting on the show NOT be the ones paying for it???
I haven't competed at the drags for a few years, but it was nowhere near that pricey.
I guess that PL Insurance has stuffed it for everyone.
Looks like it would be a good event though. What happens if you roll up in a V8? Will you get booted out or can you enter in the "Open DYO"?

It's OK, I'm not really from Sydney, I just moved there, but now I'm back in Perth so I'm normal again.

Rotor Meet
V8's can enter the OPEN D.Y.O. Bracket.
The reason its $ 85 to enter is there is over $ 20,000 in prize money and $ 2000 in product, in the future with more spectators attending each meet we will (and have) reduce the entry fee.

insurance
I noted the comment about insurance.
I also race sidecars and our premiums have reached high levels because competitors are claiming for incidents that once were considered part of the risk of racing.
Hit log at a desert race, hit oil patch at a road race meet or fell off at a Moto X. Its the participants who have forced the premiums up so we all must now wear it. Once we all accept some resposiblity for our actions as a community it may get better.

Well said!
I work in insurance (yet I still have a personality) and people nowadays aren't taking responsibility for their own actions. A good example was at this years Nats.
People were doing burnouts at the Go whoa....obviously fairly dangerous with a crowd around. The organisers had done everything humanly possible to make it as safe and yet there were still people standing within spitting distance of the cars behind a piece of tape.
They had been asked to move every 5 minutes by Pinky but they kept on standing there because they got to be close to the action.
If a car had spun out and hit one of them the organisers would have been blamed.....but whose fault is it really?
