The Rent is Too Damn High! But Not At The Tacchino!

Go register for the Tacchino! Now! Because the Entry Fee is not too damn high!



Seriously.

We've collected an absolute shitload of great swag, and the more people we have, the higher (and better distributed) the cash prizes will be. And a singlespeed prizelist, fercrhissakes! It's only $20 to register... this rent is not too damn high! Your babies will have things to eat, your stomach will not be growling, our rent is not too damn high.

Not to mention if you people don't register in great numbers, I'm going to be stuck drinking all that beer by myself. And believe me, you do not want to see me on a drunken bender. That happens, the landlady will raise the rent, and then, the rent will be... well, you get the message.

So git er done!

$20? And I bet you don't have to pay another $12 for your number plate for the series, either. Because you're Pro enough to have pin-on numbers, not MTB-style h-bar plates. And to think, your series has been going for what, eight years? Wonder why it's grown so much. Couldn't be because ours charges $25 per race, $10 day of fee, $12 for a number plate, $5 for a second number plate. And the promoters wonder why turnout isn't better...

$20 per race, $10 day of (but most people pre-reg because it's much cheaper and easier due to BikeReg auto waiver printing), etc.

But it ain't going to be shangri-la forever. If we go to chip timing to resolve the scoring disasters we've had this year, that will add $2-$3 per race and racers may have to pay $5 / season for a chip. But yeah, we fight like hell to keep the rates down. Inflation and some venue-related costs may push us up to $25 next year.
