Stud Man Dan: You make good points. However, for many teams this would not be a risky investment. This doesn't apply to all teams, of course. However, if a group of teams spent $500 each, that would be just 50 rides in your $10 scenario (again, I would charge $20 because honestly, it seems like $20 means nothing around here). Also, for some teams this sort of thing will be a fitting fundraiser where other types such as a dinner aren't possible (1020, for instance, doesn't have the man power, time, or customer for most fundraisers). This probably won't be a main source of income for any team, but $200 a weekend (as Hammond has been doing) multiplied by let's say 10 weekends in the pre-season is $1500 after cost. $1500 was half of 1020's budget (not including the registration donated by NASA).
