Dropouts
We have managed to entice several former racers back into action as well as pick up some new ones. We really didn’t do much. Seems like when they found out we were running a full schedule of APRA, 428 and 422 they just drifted back. Our average attendance has increased from the mid 20’s to about 40 over the last four years or so. The last race, Nov. 17th, had 43 entrants spread over 3 classes. All our races have prior day pylon up practice are fully staffed, have plaques to 3rd and fast time plus a cash workers raffle. We charge $25.00 for the 1st class and $20.00 for the second. With this level of funding we have no trouble showing a small net profit for the club even after accruing for system maintenance. I do believe we are more fortunate than most as Los Angeles has a huge population base to pull from as well as being centrally located.
