Go-Kart Club events are reaching a financial threshold

Go-Kart Club events are reaching a financial threshold that requires a major event like WKA points race to be successful.  Club races are approaching extinction.  Road race tracks have gotten expensive and are demanding up front rental money.  That requires seed money from previous events.  Those events have to be successful.  Entry fees are approaching the breaking point for the individual racer.  The concept of generating revenue from multiple entries from the same racer, by offering the same class, Saturday and Sunday, has run its course. This business model was originally successfully pioneered and implemented by MKC for the Mid States Road Race Series and is barely possible now.  WKA has become the dominant draw for racers and has returned to light vs. heavy weight for many classes while retaining a single weight Saturday vs. Sunday on a select few classes.  No easy solution for this one other than to find isolated special venues having really low rents.  MKC has pursued that format and has moved temporarily revamped its business model in the form of the Grosse Ile Grand Prix.  It is a low rent, temporary short track road course with the potential to be a long track.  Infrastructure costs are a significant issue with this form of racing.
