I just received the latest Der Gasser. And you are suggesting that folks pay $2.50 for the "privilege" of receiving an advertising circular?

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.

Well then why don't we run a web version concurrent as the print version is gradually phased out? 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.
