Frosty Posted April 16, 2023 Share I know in Joburg they have reduced the number of staff on their books, as a result of the pandemic. The Race Office is also down numbers and taking in limited business. Being owned by the CT Trust, I assume they will be around for the CTCT and all seeding-related events.

With about 10+ timing mat locations. maybe they got all the hardware from the rest of the country back to the CT office. I know someone who was involved a few years back, said it was quite profitable, BUT I figure a lot of fixed costs that are now not covered by less events happening. I even got him to admit that the timing chips are a total ripoff/great margins (depending what side of the fence you're on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rate charged per rider, plus the setup fee is not that much to be making profit. 2-3 people in site (for a medium sized race). They must pay peanuts, and something I wouldn’t do as a job.
