New England is $20 for any SCCA, $25 for all non members.
I think the IRS only cares if a not-for-profit organization makes well into
6 figures in profit.
Besides, you are not charging the non-members MORE. You are giving members
a discount on the theory that some of their dues actually goes into funding
an event. (Remember, it's only a theory)

Subject: Local event fees?
Howdy all.
Well, it's come up again on our local KC mailing list. The subject of
"member" Solo fees versus "guest" fees.
The KCRSCCA recently (within the last 2 years) raised all Solo event entry
fees to the same $20 regardless of whether you're a SCCA member or a guest.
Some lame-ass tax reason was the excuse. Something about running a business
if we charge guests more and then owing income tax or not being able to
retain our non-for-profit status.
Anyway, has any other region out there that gives a slight fee break to
their members ever had any problems with the tax man because of it? I want
some ammo when I go before our local board and tell 'em they're full-o-crap
on the tax issue.
And if anyone has had issues with the tax man over entry fees, what were
they and how were they resolved?
Thanks in advance folks.
