Re-posting from the MRA forum:
As of right now (9/10/11) we're at 96 riders with a total registration of $17,280 plus $876 in donations, and we "should" sell out the garages, which will net $3,200. That's a TOTAL known income of $21,356.
It cost us $29,000 to run at PPIR last time we were there, though it "should" be about $1,500 lower this time as we have limited the number of paid corner crew since it doesn't take as many to staff PPIR as it does other tracks.
So, $21,356 in income minus $27,500 in expenses...
That's an event deficit of $6,144
Now it will depend on walkups, gate and superstreet to determine if there's any chance of running the last Round at HPR in October!
How can you help?
Sign up for PPIR if you weren't planning on it otherwise. This very well could be the last round of the season, so don't "wait" for HPR in October, as it may never come...
Get your friends to sign up for PPIR, even if they know they can't come. Every entry matters, and entering and NOT riding is way cheaper than entering AND riding!
Get more guys and gals to come out for SuperStreet!
ADD a class or two, even if you don't plan on running them. It's only $30 or less to add a class for most of you, and $30 per rider would make a world of difference!
Make sure your family comes to the races, and PAYS at the gate. $10 per spectator adds up pretty quick if we get them en-masse!

There's no reason "not" to hold the event at PPIR, imo, as there's no guarantee that the participation at HPR will be any better - and it costs more to hold an event at HPR.
So the rest of the season will be dependent on the member's willingness and desire...
Come on MRA - show us what you got!
