[QUOTE="nikki, post: 553842, member: 18126"] I think you might be missing a BIG point here. This is an INDOOR track requiring a little more money and overhead than an outdoor track. Anyone can buy 10 acres for $50k, spend $10k bringing in dirt, and another $5k on machines and build an outdoor track. Total costs of overhead = $65k + insurance and taxes (insurance = the biggest cost at any park). I have heard that [u]$500k[/u] has been put into the Tuf's place. I assume that includes land, building, dirt, machines, indoor facilities (fans, ventilation system, lights, bathrooms, bleachers, pillars, fencing, pads, hay bales, sign-up area, etc.), utilities (fees for track personnel, gas, electric, water, telephone, property taxes) and then the big whammy = insurance! Sorry to say, but an indoor joint is MUCH more costly than most outdoor tracks. And the sad thing is that most riders from April-October probably rather ride outdoors when given the choice. Indoor riding places are great for the die hard rider who is willing to pay anything for some ride time, for riders practicing to race AX/SX, and for riding in the winter/rain/evening. I understand that $30 a pop for maybe an hour track time in total over the 4-5 hour riding sessions isn't the greatest... but I guess we'll just have to see how things go. Obviously Tuf's (and all the other indoor joints) have BIG TIME upfront costs to cover and need to have such high rates. I have been going up to Zeeland MX in MI and paying $40 each time for a 7 hour ride session and I have no problem with the $40. I could also pay $100 for a year membership and $15 a time but choose to do a $25 daily membership and $15 a time instead. But I guess if you live around there, $15 a time (after the initial $100) is great. Much better than Tuf's $30 [u]ONLY[/u] if you plan on going 5 times a year or more. If you only go 4 times a year, then Tuf's is cheaper. Zeeland also offers a reduced rate for their mini track and it's the same price weather you ride one bike or two (I believe). Have you ever race Arenacross? Talk about expensive... $50 to get maybe 10-15 laps all day long. And $20 (I think) for all non-racers. [/QUOTE]
