hmmmm.....

As far as I am aware, all of these tracks are held and operated independently of each other.

Now you have independent, competing suppliers, selling the same product in market that is of low variety working collectively to set higher product pricing?

This is THE definition of price fixing.

There are certain antitrust laws that protect consumers from these scenarios.

EDIT: If "The Milestone Group" holds all of these tracks through its firm, the above is null and this situation is simply a product price increase.

but they see 3x the volume.

baja acres when it first ran practice days in 90's was $10 a bike. $5 or $10 a person to enter grounds. something of that sorte. I believe now its $25-30 to ride most tracks around here now for the day. gets you like 4-5 20 minute sessions.

That's what I was implying earlier. I sent the owner of one one of the tracks a friendly heads up because I would hate to see all those tracks get nailed by the FTC or a lawyer looking to shake someone down. The dude went ape shit and banned me from posting or messaging on their Facebook page.

I wish all these Southern California tracks would come together on the fast pass set up. Especially Pala.

The price would probably have to go up for access to all these tracks, as the current $80 a month wouldn't be enough to spread between that many tracks.

I will explain the process in WA (western australia) for getting to ride.

If you want to race most weekends and practise:
$300 for a National license (annual)
$300 for a track memebership (annual)
$20 practise fee per practise
$40 race entry per race

If you want to race occasionally (2-4 times a year) and practise:
$105 for rec license (annual)
$300 for a track membership (annual)
$20 practise fee per ride
$50 license fee per race
$40 race day entry per race

Terms and conditons: To practise, you must be accompanied by a NON-RIDING level 1 official. Anyone can get their officials but it is about $300 to do it and you have to have your first aid certificate and a spare weekend to do the coarse. The official can supervise upto 10 riders. To race, you must bring a flaggie.

We do have practise only tracks that do not hold race days and any other responsibility and they are $50 a ride. How ever if you want to race at all, you must take one of the two options above...


Americans have it good.

$5 at my local track. Granted it's nothing close to national calliber but five dollars to practice corners and basically have a track to yourself is awesome to me. There are hoses you can use and keep a section or two nice to practice on. I'm not upset about bigger tracks like Glen Helen charging $25... They do a lot to keep the tracks maintained and they essentially race every weekend.
