3 Ann Arbor STS races would cost you $105 for at most 3 hours of racing, and zero chance for a payout. I am guessing there is a much higher cost involved with managing 2 road races and they have an ok payout. That's not a horrible cost in my opinion.
Reg was $90 before march 31st however only a few people wanted to commit to the weekend/support our promoters with early reg. Even $125 for 2 road races and a TT with GC timing seems beyond reasonable.
Either way going to be the cheapest stage race I've ever done. The tiny NJ stage race was $160 and GMSR/Killington were over $300.
what are you mumbling about? It doesn't matter what a six pack of anything costs. This post was about the cost of entering 3 races that are well supported. Beeny is correct this is a reasonable price.
I do agree the cost isn't so bad But i also agree when you factor in for some people traveling from the other side of the state there is an expense for lodging.

ReplyDeletea six pack of the champagne of beers is cheap and at the cost to play is an insult..
i agree with the TMS post the scene isn't healthy enough to support a stage race that pulls less than 18 guys for the 1/2 race.
but i suppose when the payout is top 3 isn't too far off for the field depth

ReplyDeleteBeeny may be right about the cost,
paying 3 deep for less than 20 riders isnt far off.
But stage racing in Michigan has never been a success, unless it was like The Old Tour De blue care crit week.
road racing is weak enough across the board let alone trying to mimic the the pro-life isnt helping.

The "other side of the state" is more than welcome to host a stage race as well...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'll wait.
