Makes perfect sense to me given their biggest race of the year is in Indy!

Given (per the post by novassdude), that Los Angeles is No. 4 on the most expensive to live in Cities list (Glendora is a suburb of L.A. as well), that compounds the reason. The (now former) Governator (Awnold S.), allowed me to realize something else interesting to this ideal of yours Crew Chief; when California doubled it's licensing and registration costs a few years back, that was followed by Glendora raising our competition member, licensing, and comp. number costs by doubling them too! Moreover, not only did divisional entry fees go up about $10 bucks (here in D7), but even worse, National Open entry fees went up so much that we pay $65 bucks more for such races than D5 pays for theirs (not to overlook D1 paying about the same for theirs as well...all that for only a grade point...really?)! Interesting, don't you think???
