anyway, here's how it works.
The $75 that everyone is paying per person, is basically all of our "hard" costs. Almost all of it is going to food and drink, and a small amount to charity. This is a complete Not for Profit Effort.
At the most, we could probably knock a few bucks per kid, but not $30 or $40.
Last year, kids that were young enough to order "kids" meals, did so, and parents paid separately. Because the meals on Friday and Saturday are buffet style, we are paying per "head". I know there was some talk about Howard paying for the use of track, but that is purly speculation right now.
Now, If we end up putting some "paid for" goodies (still up in the air due to budget constraints) in everyones bags, and we are able to take those goodies out of the kids' bags, then we may be able to discount things a bit. We do not have sponsors that are donating cash to the event. Every sponsor is simply donating door prizes.
At this point, I would not hold up sending in your registration waiting for us to announce a discounted "kid's" price. I think parents can still plan on paying separately for their kids that are 5 and under, but most teenagers eat as much as adults. If the "committee" decides that we can discount kids, then we will do so. But like i said, there is only a small amount of the $75 that is not going towards food and drink. We will do what we can to keep the cost as low as possible for everyone.
Red Rocks Classic
The Poorman's Porsche Classic
Well, this "Poorman's Porsche Classic" attendee will likely not bring teenage kids if they are required to pay full price. We've been considering whether or not to bring them and this is just one reason not to. Not the only one mind you, but a factor all the same.
