That and site rental for the duration of the event is $$$$$$$$$$$.
I understand limiting the number of spectators for a private event such as this, but I think a little higher limit would help.

Have you been to the event?
I think a higher limit would suck. Its already crowded in the good spectating spots where its easy to see the entire race.

Pretty sure you know the answer to that. However, I'm not saying increase the spectator attendance 10 or 20 fold, but maybe just upping it a little bit, but still within reason. Would give the ability to lower the price of spectating a little lower and garner more interest. I'm just trying to look at this from the business POV, as well as just brain storming. Not trying to tell anyone how to run it.

First and foremost:
Unlike the examples cited, The Runway Rivalry and similar events are not intended to be spectator events.
Large crowds in a confined space is just asking for problems. The organizers probably figure this is a simple way to avoid/control that issue.

Right. It's a matter of security and the additional measures required to manage the event.

But why do that? When the guest spots easily sell now, and they don't have to worry about accommodating more people? Restrooms, food, etc… it all becomes more expensive with more people.

LOL, agreed on both accounts.
Derek means well, it's just his complete lack of experience in a lot of things tends to show at times. Anything racing related just isn't something he is experienced with at all.

Yes, Will, that's why it's called a joke. Just from the little bit I hung out with you at TI I can tell you're not that way.
I'll be sure to say something smartass to you on Sunday

Unfortunately, yes. Taking a lunch break. Once I finish up my stir fry I'll head back out there.

And I get that. I was just looking at it from the outside in as someone that would definitely like to attend something like this, but cost being a factor.
Do they offer press badges? LOL I can take pictures.
