I've been in and out of R/C, ATV racing some drag racing through the years. At every event there are unhappy people, uninformed people and cry babies. Nothing with a large group of people ever seems to go off without a hitch. There's always something that isn't to everyone's liking, but most of the time 90% of the people are having a blast, enjoying their passion and making new friends. It should never be about the trophy or the loot you can walk out with, it's the love of the hobby and meeting like minded people that drives the majority of us. Ticket prices are what they are. I don't know of many if any somewhat organized events that are free to put on for the public. It cost money and takes time to do things like this. In most cases it doesn't benefit the one(s) holding the event. It's done for us, the ones who want to get together, make new friends, show off our toys and skills. In my opinion, anyone that's not happy with the way an event of any type is put together or the cost to attend, they can organize and hold their own event and show everyone the proper way to do it.
