The AERC really has little to do with the rides or ride schedules 
(except for special sanctioned rides). They sanction rides and the 
sanctioning directors try to keep rides off the same day. However, they 
cannot dictate who does a ride nor can that dictate that no rides can be 
run within X (fill in X) number of days of another ride.

It is not the AERC's business if a ride makes money or loses money. The 
ride managers are independent of the AERC. It has worked well that way 
and you should be happy there are options in your region. If there are 
sufficient riders in the West to support the number of rides then they 
all will prosper. If there are not the better rides will rise to the 
top, and the poorly managed rides will fall to the wayside. But all in 
all it will reach an equilibrium and at the end of the day the riders 
are the winners.

Rides are not cheap to put on and riders pay plenty to participate and i dont see how they can go to all of them.  some rides are going to suffer and die of acute bankruptcy.
