This right here is why I won't be going to any more!
I can understand racers paying, there is a purse to be won, I can understand trophy hunters, they want something, the vendors should pay as they are making money. But I come to display and to support the event. I make nothing off this. I'm out all the way around. I'm out on fuel, hotel, food and wear and tear. When I made the suggestion to give the display people the same consideration, oh hell no, you pay too. How about this, I just won't be back any more.
I like to think I'm a reasonable enough guy, but lets be fair, treat every one the same.
