How so? Help us understand. Thanks.
Currently, for RATR, there are 51 drivers signed up for 1450 paying a $455 entry fee. The entry fee breaks down as $160 for entry, $170 for Insurance, $85 for land use, and $40 for admin fees. We'll say SNORE gets back $160 seeing as the rest of the entry goes towards other things. $160x51= $8,160.
If SNORE were to adopt a class/rule system similar to MDR's 1400/1450 rules, then 1400 would fall under a pro class, and hopefully, in a perfect world, half of the class would transition over to 1400. 1400 would adopt pro entry fees probably similar to what classes HM, 8, and 7 are paying, $705. That being broke down is $375 for entry, $35 for a points fund, and the rest is all the same across the board (including points fund not applicable to 1450 and other sportsman classes.) $375x25= $9,375.
With that being said you have an increase of $5,375 with the addition of 1400 as a Pro class. The only thing I could anticipate where SNORE would lose money is if they decided to add another Heat to races such as BAP and RATR for 1400 specifically. And you can say that the only way this will happen is in a perfect world, like I mentioned above, where half of 1450 moved over to 1400. I personally think that perfect world is reality at this point in time.
If its being talked about here from a established official within SNORE, I feel enough racers within 1450 have since voiced their opinion and are for this change. If it was just a couple guys tossing the idea around, I don't think this would be that big of an issue and none of us would be talking about it right now.
