What do you get from an affiliation?

Too much beer, math, language and visual
abilities impaired.

The same way I race!

Figure I'll chime in with my .02 on affiliation now that I'm back in the region and should actually see the track this year. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

$25k is a lot of duckies, and I have never picked up a magazine with CCS advertisements and seen much CMRA coverage.

WERA has their own thing going, but the club is already succesful without that affiliation, and in my opinion could continue to do so.

Questions that need to be asked.

1. Does CCS give any of the $25k back in purse money?
2. Has CCS actively found sponsorship or contingency for sprints/endurance?
3. Did CCS pay for our air fence?
4. Did CCS get us into any of our current tracks (are we able to race their due to affiliation)?
5. Would business relationships with current sponsors (big ones) suffer from a defection?
6. Would membership decline without affiliation?
7. Would race quality decline without affiliation?

I'm guessing the answers to these make spening $25k a year seem pretty silly.

I'm not a successful businessman, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

there were a lot of ccs adds in rrw I don't know now I let my sub lapse because lack of local coverage.

1.Unless your poking fun I believe all of our current purse paying classes are sponsored by companies/groups we found/they found us. CCS doesn't send money back for purses, I don't believe.
2.We have contingency through them worked out through them. We could do the same thing
ourselves.
3.There again someone correct me if I'm wrong
but RRW sponsored, collented the money, and gave
us a portion of that fence and we bought the rest.
4.The only track that is new would be Cresson
and I don't think Jack Farr is going to turn away any form of club motorsport espesialy when a
good chuck are members of his track anyway.
5. I don't see why they should. It wouldn't be a defection. That implies switching sides. It
would be more like going freelance.
6. Obviously only a tiny fraction have taken the poll but I don't think anyone who wasn't about to quit/move anyway would stop racing with us.
7. It's already our show. If anything it could get better. More money/freedom.

Anyone care to shed more light or correct me?

I can't remember ever seeing anything in RRW
for the CMRA affiliated with CCS advertisement that was anything than what they (RRW) put in the back under races schedules anyway for free.
