that really sucks for a lot of people. its not just michigan though. Hell, a person damn near needs a dollar or 2 an hour raise just to make it back and forth to work anymore, let alone "pay to play". GOtta pay to make the money, you might as well pay to have a weekend or however long to have some R+R...it does suck for the local buisnesses though.

It's about 50 $$ in gas for me to drive the 1 1/2 hours up there and about 30 $$ in gas for my wife's quad and mine for 1 day. Plus food and the wife always gets a shirt or something from David Allen Racing I'm looking at spending about 300.00 for a weekend including a room for the stay. It sucks, but it is well worth it. Never had a bad time up there. Will be doing it again here in 2 weeks. August 1-3.

Yah, I live like 2 1/2 hours from there & I cant do a 3 day weekend without paying $300-$450. However this is what I like to do, I have more of a problem of getting time to do this rather than the money.
I guess you do what you can......
