[RC] Making money putting on rides...lol - rides2farI've known several managers who go out of their way to do no better than break even...making sure they spend every penny they make back on the ride. I think this is a mistake. It's IMPORTANT that you make some money on the good years and put it back because there *will* be a year, sooner or later when probably weather, but maybe forest fires, etc. will destroy you. As soon as possible a ride needs to have 100% of what a ride costs in an emergency fund. *Then* you can start giving profits to charity or whatever. I've seen some good people quit managing rides after they took a bad financial hit because they hadn't wanted to make a profit off their friends. Wanna talk about unexpected costs? I wrecked my truck on the way to pick up the t-shirts once. A guy helping me clear trails knocked out the back window of his suburban with his weed eater... the list is endless.
