I looked into the Airventure Cup race for this year, but I think I will
pass.  The cost is pretty high ($200 per plane), which is a significant
increase over last year.  Also, the race has been dramatically shortened.

Maybe the price looked good in previous years when they bought you a lot
more gas, and the race took more than 2 hours (The Legacy's and IV's will be
finishing this year's race in about 90 minutes, and most of the 320 / 360
guys will still likely be about 2 hours).  A single leg at that price?

The passes to the flight line and good parking is nice, but if you only
intend to stay for a day or two I just can't justify it...

Am I looking at this wrong?

Matt
