Even if he knows a profit can/will be made, I'm sure he's more interested in making the event happen. Obviously, I can't speak for him, though.
And maybe he isn't a person that stands to gain from this, and could be loosely involved on the outside. He says everyone is a volunteer(IDK about you, but that means free?). Just give him a break, if you want to go, then sign up. If you don't want to go, or don't like it, just keep it to yourself(echoing myself even) and create your own cheaper event.

Going to your job is COMPLETELY different than try to organize something so you can have fun. I'de be willing to bet this guy isn't an event promoter by trade. Either way he has not paid for any advertising on this website.Who cares if the organization is making $$$ on it, that would kind of be the point in the effort that the event would grow and increase its efforts for future holdings.

The only way I stand to gain from this is making sure that there is an event like this around. I NOR ANYONE ON THE BOARD WILL NOT BE PAID FOR OUR EFFORTS! I already pay out of my pocket to support the "car scene" in south dakota. Any extra money left over after all the events bills are paid will be going to equipment for the following year such as radios, barriers, brooms, advertising, chairs. I am taking off of work to make this happen. I am bringing up equipment to use to make this happen. Oh and their are 4 other people on the board devoting just as much as I am if not more just to make this happen. This year will be a bare bones event. I would love to have t-shirts, stickers, schwag to pass out. The event could use some barriers to increase safety in some areas and the bottom line is there is no money for it right now. Any money made from this event will go back into this event the following year to make it bigger/better/more enjoyable.
As to the comment about me making no other posts on the board- I have never been to fargo and it's a long drive for me. I came here to hopefully spread the word about the event to those interested. Honestly I have heard about alot of serious cars up there and wouldn't mind taking a trip to checkout the scene. The negative nancies certainly don't make me want to make the trip but you will find those anywhere. I will give you a hint, I run a website myself for sd on my dime. If anyone on this board wants to come on my board and spread the word about an event going on up there they are MORE then WELCOME. In fact I will be more then happy to put the information on the front page of my site as well. It's all about meeting new people, seeing different cars and maybe learning a thing or two in the process.

Josh i wouldnt even read alot of the posts in this thread. The people worried about you making money or the event costing too much are the same people who bitch at a free lunch because you forgot to give them ketchup. Yep, bitch cry and moan because someone made a buck off you. In other words, bubba and joel, and faber you did a bit too, fuck you. Go take your cars to brainerd then. Oh wait, i go there all the time and have never seen you there? In that case shut the fuck up until you plan on contributing to the car scene instead of running it into the ground. Its that very attitude why things generally suck and get cancelled. TM street legals??? yep all for it until its time to pay up the $15 to race and then i see a bunch of rice cluttering the parking area because your too fucking cheap, even when some dude is racing his wifes buick century cause he wants to see the event continue.
In other words, if you dont plan on going because your a douche that never does come through for events, or your too fucking cheap to pay a little to play, get the fuck out of the events section. We all know its cheaper to go to BIR, and we all know we wont ever see you at either event anyway. Going balls out down a mountain road with no safety net has no comparison to going around a flat open course like BIR. GTFO
And yes that is how i really feel, i like to rant, go cry emo kid

Thank you all for your support!
Remember just because you can't/don't want to run doesn't mean you can't spectate! -
