Tjommie Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 What do you think about the new entry fees for the DC. Its now R1800 per team irrespective of the no of riders. I personally think its a ripoff compared to last year. If i'm not mistaken it was between 90 - 120 depending if you a PPA member or not. We enquired about this cause we only have 9 in a team and was politely told, phone the sponsers, they made the decision. They could have at least charge you per rider. I really dont mind paying more for an event every year but how can they justify such a big increase . Are we getting a special goodie bag or they just forcing you to have 12 in a team otherwise you pay more than 150 per rider.
Guest colonel Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 If you think its to expensive dont ride--simple as that. If you do want to ride then pay it. To pay R150 for atleat 5hrs of fun then is nothing and if you arent that solid then to pay that amount for 5+ Hrs is excellent. People spend 1000's of money in kit,bikes etc then bitch about spending R80-R200 on entry. Makes no sense to me atall.

Skye Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 What do you think about the new entry fees for the DC. Its now R1800 per team irrespective of the no of riders.Personally I don't see any problem with the amount. I personally think its a ripoff compared to last year. Well why are you entering the event then? don't bother' date=' some other team will fill your spot.If i'm not mistaken it was between 90 - 120 depending if you a PPA member or not. We enquired about this cause we only have 9 in a team and was politely told, phone the sponsers, they made the decision. They could have at least charge you per rider. I really dont mind paying more for an event every year but how can they justify such a big increase. Are we getting a special goodie bag What is the big hype around a goodie bag? do you only race for the goodie bag? Tjommies2 have you ever sat down and worked out what it takes to put on an event. Maybe offer your services for one event and see what actually happens behind the scenes then you can question your R150ppor they just forcing you to have 12 in a team otherwise you pay more than 150 per rider.[/quote']
Dirty Twin Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Then don't ever enter the Trans Baviaans that was R1,900 for a 2, 3 or 4 man team and I ended up not riding as a result of an injury. Will I enter again HELL YEAH. Agreed colonel don't pay don't ride simple as that. Oh also go and check entry fee's on The Sani 2 C and The Epic then you will poooop yourself.
AuctionLamb Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I think it is cheap...to think other races is the same as that and sometimes last you only 2 hrs of fun. This race is very well organized. The reason for the R1800 per team is to make sure they have full teams. Pure Savage 1
