I just notice Dave's methodology for figuring FIA costs to obtain of World
Record and wanted to clear up a misconception -- easy to do when so few
partake.
The total fee is divided by the number of FIA participants, not multiplied
by the number of entries. If the costs are $1,000 and only 2 cars run, then
it will cost each $500., but if 10 cars run, then the cost is reduced to
$100. each. There are also dues that paid to join the respective FIA
affiliate (e.g.. SCCA) that provides the observer but that only amounts to
about $60. All told, it is significantly less than $120,000. yet I
understood how Dave's imagination could run WOT about the FIA cost issue.
Frankly, I think the time it takes to set an FIA record eats into too much
racing time and should be relegated to a day (or days) preceding or
following a scheduled meet. That way the economy of scale is preserved as
the course is still intact with the necessary and essential people available
to oversee the attempts, but the average racer is not put out.
