Can't believe it took you that much thinking to decide that Ken!

Ken..... you forgot to mention how much of YOUR time has been spent planning, talking to Fontana, coordinating, etc.....
I wasn't trying to insult Ken by making this post. I had several people ask me what was the point in registering. It's costs are greater than HC3 and there are different things included. Now we know and we can all register, drive, and be happy.
I'm looking forward to seeing you, Eddie (for the second time in two weeks ). See you on Saturday.

When I ask people why don't they go to the dragon, most of them say it's the cost to register. If a breakdown of the cost was available, maybe more people would be willing to register. As long as people have a clear picture, thats good for the community. To mock the question makes no sense to me. Let's stay on topic. My range of people I ask involves the Mid-a, del-Val and NY metro. Pretty large group imo.

Speaking of which, I was at an autocross in DC yesterday and I was the only one to even know about the dragon meet out of all of the S2000 owners. That made me question, how many owners that are enthusiasts have no idea about this meet?

Does this meet even have a FB event page?

Also, ken, in the future, I can get t-shirts for 6-7 bucks wholesale, just pm me and I can send you the info.

Its there, it's always been available if anyone just asked. Always happy to share why things cost what they do. One of the benefits of registering is that your room rate/cabin rate is discounted heavily. That offsets quite a bit of the registration costs. If you don't register, you don't get the group rate.

You just volunteered. Thanks. Come see me over the weekend. We'll talk. (There was one last year but our FB person left).

Do people really think the event registration is that expensive? I'm certainly not rich or anything but the cost doesn't seem outrageous to me. It's hard to me to believe people are willing to pay for gas, get a cabin/hotel/lodge/etc, pay for food nearby, but then the registration fee is the thing that actually keeps them from coming? Just my thoughts....
