Hi folks,
Tommy is right, TMS would be a geat site for a Pro. However, we are still
trying to ascess how much in the hole the region ran hosting the Tour. Rent
for the site was over 6 grand, the rent for the garage and set-up, and cost
of food was over 6 grand. We were allowed to sell pace car laps (a nice
touch) and that kinda offset the cost somewhat, however, we still ended in
the red. Fun event though, maybe even worth the loss...
