You may not realize it, but it takes about 22 workers on site to put on an event. Registration, T&S, Tech, F&C, Grid, Starter, Announcer, Safety Steward, Chief Steward, Chief Instructor. Then there are the PDX instructors who both drive and ride along. Some of the positions also allow you to drive with back-up to handle the duties when you are on track.
This does not count the many hours that some people put in organizing the event.
Many think of a TT as a consumer event - pay your entry fee and arrive and drive. The reality is that it takes a lot of volunteers to make an event a success. If we were in this as a profit making Limited Partnership, the entry fee would be closer to $400 rather than $250.
