Well, Beyer's crew did have to make all those adjustments to the polytrack BSFs.

The price of paper has like doubled in the last 18 months. That is the primary reason for the increase.

DRF has a monopoly on what they do. There is no one to challenge them. If they charged $10 for the print edition, people would still buy it, because there is no other way to win this game without the DRF.

You will find zero sympathy from this crew regarding DRF price increases or anything to do with the content. I went down this road some time ago and it was like 25 on 1. I sense that since they are already giving their money away at the windows, what's the big deal if the DRF is ripping them off.

DRF has actually made some of the improvements I had been complaining about, but they have also decreased the amount of actual content. I'm not sure how the get away with charging people the same price for the edition found at the local candy store, which includes 4 tracks (usually nyra, cali, mth/meadowlands and 1 other track) and they one with the addition insert that you get AT the track that has anywhere from 6-8 tracks in it. If I could get that edition everywhere, it wouldn't be so bad, but last Saturday, I went to the contest at the Meadowlands and had to pay $7 for a paper that didn't even include Calder, one of the contest tracks.
