Why at an AMA event does the AMA discount expire so far in advance of the event? Not much of a perk...
 
The event is a partnership between Mid-Ohio and the AMA. Mid-Ohio keeps a large percentage of the gate/tickets/camping (for the most part). We get a larger percentage of the pre-sale (why the discount) and keep entries, swap meet, and some other means of the income. That date is a negotiated date with Mid-Ohio. Keep in mind, 100% of the AMA portion goes to the Museum.

But I can't disagree with your comment.
 
AMA Vintage Grand Championship Important Information. Don't hate the messenger, hate Mid-Ohio for the gate times.

Alex, how will you keep non racers from entering Ross Road camping and staging? Not enough camping spots for racers as all were let in on Thursday. There should be a list of pre-registered racers to confirm entrants. Not sure how to handle the others who sign up on race day?

No entry until noon and no parking on the road? Good luck with turning around a 40’ rv and trailer on that gravel road?

All legitimate points... Mid-Ohio is in control of the gates. AMA Staff will be there to help support. Between me and you... it's going to be a cluster (that I pointed out months ago) and when it is, I'll have the argument to get it fixed.
