Kerry & the crew in Baton Rouge had a knock-out event planned for eveyone but they had to cancel because it came time to sign contracts with the site management & there just wasn't enough entries to support the cost of the event. They had no choice but to make sure they didn't go into the Red on the event.
Bottom line - If you plan on attending these type of events whether it be a Tour, Div or even a local event, SIGN-UP ASAP!! If people wait to long to register, the next thing you know the event is cancelled! Site rentals, insurance (& Sanction Fees if it's SCCA) are putting a real squeeze on organizers/events! Everything has gone up in the last year. Some Clubs can't just do the events with hopes & promises of registration.
Remember back to about 4-5 years ago, ER was going to host an SCCA Pro Solo event in Mineral Wells but it was cancelled due to slow/low registrations.
Soloist are regristration procrastinators but it kills the events!
Keep this in mind when registration opens for the Houston/A&M & Texas Region Divisional!
