Absolutely! Leverage the place with OPM. With 3k owners we should have enough equity to qualify with the SBA and own our own track. We could double the fees to the car peeps to pay for it. Rent out the condos at trackside for events.......... the possibilities are endless. Doyle, the owners a lawyer....... whats his weak spot? (besides money)
If he's like me, hookers, champagne and MotoGP on the tube would float his boat, but you might want to toss in a Viagara just in case.
Nelson Fund Eddie, Shelley and I have sent $100 in memory of my friend Mike Fox. Mike died at Grattan on June 5, 2004 after he went off at T10. Thanks for taking the initiative to help. Eric
For the locals it'd be cool to have a building where one could rent out a garage space, keep their bike and stuff there. I'd have to be a "club membership" type of thing. But it would be cool. HD
50$ sent to ekraft. This is in honor of my mock race there in the fall of 1989 on my 900 Ninja when I was so happy that I was beating my buddy that I promptly ran off in T1. I saw the tires coming closer and closer and I am sure my eyes were as big as saucers. (Got it whoaed down though) I've been pretty fortunate there since then but this will be for all the others that have trekked through the grass there. Move those tires!
Sent $25 (since I'm broke and cheap.) Don't want to dilute the chances on the gloves for the real contributers, so you can remove me from the pool for that drawing if you want. Or, if I win, I'll sell and donate proceeds to the fund. Good idea and thanks, Eddie.
We need a female, ex-military owner. The government will fall over itself to lend her money to buy the place and if she doesn't pay it back it's no big deal. Would that be Rhiannon? That would make her a disadvantaged, veteran-owned business. Ummmm, tax dollars at work. Seriously though, Eddie I just took some scrap aluminum to the recycler; add $66.60 to the pot. Checks in the mail!
Lets Keep it going everyone!!!!:up: We all know people that have raced, practiced there that may not know about this or have not donated yet, so lets get to them!!! AWESOME so far!!!
There was annoucement made at the Fasttrax race this weekend about the track fund. I would expect that some of the Fasttrax riders will get involved.
