It sounds like a chicken or egg thing.....

If people are so sure the class is warrented, why not have pre-registration on all proposed new classes. If a certain threshold of participants is reached, then add the class.

I would think it would be best in the first year of any new class to collect the registration fee upfront making it only refundable if the class is not added holding back a 15% fee or so for the work involved in researching this and to cover paypal fees and so on.

If 100 people pre-register and pay the entry fee and the class is added, then PlanetSand isn't injured if only 5 bikes actually show.

Subsequent years can get rid of the pre-registration for that class because the first year proved the market.


What this approach essentially does is put the people who are always asking for a new class in a position where they front their own money to make it happen. A policy such as this would probably reduce the number of new class requests and would allow the requests with real merit to get a shot.

The flipside would be that if an existing class dwindles down in numbers, it can be put up for pre-registration for the next year just like the new classes. If it doesn't make the cut, it gets cut.

It seems like this would automatically keep PlanetSand in the middle of its market and take the guess work out of it.

That makes very good sense to me. There seems to always be a certain amount of "I was planning on coming but something came up". With a new class that could throw things off, needing to pre-register might be a good idea for the new classes to help limit some of that.

They tried pre registering before and things got mixed up??

But I agree ,it would keep the one's that are serious counted and ready to go and weed out the smack talkers that don't put any money up.

Pre-reg sounds like a good idea -

Being that this is the...

PS-Drag Racing Association, I can`t help but wonder just how much power the "Association" has in making changes ?

How about before the Pre-reg (if that is even being considered) - lets have an unofficial vote open to all our members.

Add the class based upon Pre-Reg ?

Yes
No
Impartial
