Why are they charging me? - Why am i being charged? what does it pay for? What service is being provided?
Is it worth it? - most car meets are FREE because, well, its people getting together to hang out. Varsity never charged, this meet used to be free......

Those are simple questions to answer. Its not that big of a deal, and im not accusing Sunny of being malicious at all. Im just saying people are complaining for a reason. What if Sunny just decided to charge people $2 to just pocket the money? You guys would NOT be backing him at all. But if he says "i have permission from Wild Bills to charge for parking in exchange for private parking spaces patrolled by cops" then thats a TOTALLY different story.

In one instance, hes ripping people off, in the other he is providing a service.

I think people just want to know which is which thats all. Simple saying "its $2 quit bitching" is just people not understanding the root of the complaint in the first place.
Simple answer - trash clean-up, and GCPD protection are now covered with that $2/spot, so it's services that you are paying for. What's so hard to understand?

As for "free" meets - there is no such thing. Someone always has to foot the bill. The "free" Varsity meet is dead now. C&O has funding from sponsors, and hires officers, and will whine down after next month from what I heard at the last show. What other regular free meets will anyone be able to attend?
