Perhaps you didn't understand my comment.... you are indeed already paying that much for Der Gasser. That's about what it costs to print and deliver an issue. Right now that money comes out of the treasury that was put there via PCA stipend or track revenues. That just the facts. I’m not saying anything bad about the newsletter or the editor, I for one welcome her new ideas and think she’s off to great start. I’m just advocating another approach to the delivery of said news letter. If we could eliminate that roughly $30K (Brian or Steve – if this is far off, please give us the real numbers….) that it takes to publish and deliver we could cut back on track fees, subsidize an autocross program, have a free picnic every year and so on. It’s just food for thought. One of the things I learned over the past dozen years on the exec is that not everyone has the same opinion and my opinion on this is just my view. - catchacab - 03-14-2008 How much revenue does DG generate from advertisers? - dmano - 03-14-2008 CUTTING BACK ON TRACK FEES WOULD BE GREAT! CONSIDERING THE COST OF FUEL JUST TO GET TO THE TRACKS IS WAY UP. WOULD BE A NICE COST EFFECT. NOW: 3.35GAL X 25GAL=$ 83.75 268 MILES TO THE GLEN / 10MPG= 26 GAL = $87.10 EACH WAY TO THE GLEN 175.00 GIVE OR TAKE TO GET THERE AND BACK. IT IS EVEN WORSE FOR YOU DIESEL GUYS I HEAR ALMOST 5 BUCKS A GAL. THIS SUMMER 4.15 IN UP STATE PA THIS WEEK SO WE DO NEED TO SAVE MONEY SOME HOW POOR BARRY AS HE ONLY GETS 5 MPG IN THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT CAM 2 IS 10.00 GAL AT THE TRACK. IT'S TIME TO TURN DOWN THE BOOST - ccm911 - 03-15-2008 Mike Andrews wrote: Quote:ccm911 wrote:Quote:I just received the latest Der Gasser.

I know you are a whiz with computers, and have hours and hours of spare time. If it comes down to money, I think we can fix it. - ccm911 - 03-21-2008 - Porshagod - 03-21-2008 ccm911 wrote: Quote:As for the latest Der Gasser.

Your writing should be in print. It takes a lot of time and effort to do what you do. I appreciate it. -Eric |
