Yeah, I don't disagree in theory, but gas & tires cost approximately the
same across the country. For me, those expenses are what really sets the
cost of autox, with entry fee's far in the distance.
I'm not advocating charging more because you can, rather I'm advocating
organizers shifting focus from "as cheap as possible" to "you get what you
pay for"
