Re: Nats Donations
The Nationals is non-profit, in fact people donate money out of their pockets for operating costs, racing payouts, trophies, track rental, all kinds of things you need to run an event for roughly 72 hours. Businesses also donate products and services. In the event there were a profit it would go toward the next years deposits. Noone profits from the event except the attendees.
You think $60 is alot?
Ask the guys who paid $160, or how about $560?
Sure its a long haul for some folks, it can't be convenient for everyone. Moving it every year is a logistical nightmare.
The majority of trucks are focused on the coasts and the east and west have their own regional meets.
The Nationals is a one time year event that you can come and find a little bit of everything SyTy. Eat sleep and breathe SyTy with folks from all over the country. See the mods and trucks in person. Walk down a line of nothing but SyTys instead of drooling over the one or 2 local sightings.
It is middle of the country giving everyone the equal advantage.
Maybe someday there will be a slightly east or west concentration of owners willing to host the Nats but it doesn't really seem logical.
KC is dead center and not too mention where it all started.
I am buzzed and could go on and on having only been home from my 7th Nats in a row, and spending all day today at the S-Series.
Moral of the story, EVERYONE come to Nats Every year and it will all be ok... night all :cheers:
