I wonder how many cars "MVP" gets? Do they fill up?

"Afford" is an interesting word here. In business you take chances, and you hope those chances pay off. If not you have to foot the bill. TrackDaze has a huge following in the Mid-Atlantic area and it isn't easy to expand to new regions, especially in this economy.
Last year TrackDaze had a few sponsors that helped with the funding of the event, so even with the small amount of people (I think it was 65 total) the loss wasn't enough to warrant not coming back. The response from that event had comments like, "This region has been waiting for a group like yours to come in and run events with such a high level of professionalism and quality for a price that can't be beat. Thank you and I can't wait for your next event!"
I do know that the owners of TrackDaze don't do this for a job, its not what pays their car payments, rent, daily bills etc. One owner drives a 1979 Volkswagen Scirocco for a track vehicle. They still maintain a full time job outside of this, and continue to build on their success because they love it.
