The cost to the club (I think) is whether or not there is a security guard at the gate.  You shouldn't split that cost up to "campers" you split it up to the club.  That is the way it's ALWAYS done in car clubs.  That is the Right thing to do.  Make it so that people who are concerned about the cost have a lower-cost option.

I go to events to drive.  I drive a Porsche because of what the car can do, not because it's "elite" or "prestigious" I could give a crap.  If it was a Yugo going that fast I'd love it even more.

Autocross doesn't make money either, but the club supports it because it's the right thing to do. 

Camping should also be supported, in my opinion.  Years ago, before my time, guys would drive their daily drivers to the track, camp out, and have a fun weekend with their cars.  Porsche, Giant Killer, Now it's trailers, hotels, spend, spend....

At NASA events we have a blast camping out, sitting by a campfire and talking track.  Why can't we have that in RTR?

I'm not paying to camp -- and amongst the RTR crowd I prefer to camp more than anyone.  At NASA events camping is free.  Instructing is free. Tech inspections are free.  What is it about RTR that makes these things for-pay?

As much as I love you guys, you are seeing the point but missing it entirely.  I think this year may be the breaking point.

My personal plans for this year -- I'm instructing at 3 RTR events, assuming you'll have me (and I can afford it).  I will continue to support the club that I owe my driving abilities to a little bit longer than I think is reasonable.  Other than that I'll be racing and instructing at NASA events because they are financially a better deal.
