Maybe in the future with more people entering you maybe be able to price it down some. No where compares to Maxton pricing of $100 for 2 days and 8-10 runs a day. TX was the big money one until Mojave came along. Tx is something like $325 for 3 days. FL was high, but has come down already to $150 a day and will most likely bottom out at $125 a day. Guys at FL are putting in 10 runs by 3pm.
You just need more enteries to divide the cost over. TX bumped their cut off, was 160, now I think 180?? Sold 144 spots in less then 24 hours. 325X144=$46,800 Not bad for a weekend

Until we know from Mojave Airport what they want to charge us for the extra day's use of the facility, we will not know for sure how much the 2-day fees will cost, so give us a little time, hopefully we can adjust this cost.
As for our runs, we put down 297 runs with 81 active racers in <8 hours in our first try, and this will dramatically improve because in our next event the early turnout from the runway should be open, saving ~15 seconds per run for 97% of the vehicles who can brake in time. For comparison, the Top Gun Run had 60 racers and 227 runs over the same period. Maxton had 1996 total runs over 10 days in 2009, or 200 runs per day. Texas ran over 900 runs on their last event over 3 days, which compares to us.
Our stated goal is to have the best Mile Shootout event in the country, and obviously that means having more than just a nice facility -- we need it to be reasonably priced with the necessary support capabilities everyone wants as well. Your point about pricing is well taken, and we are listening!
