Since Keller posted this link the other day, I figured I'd share. I have a friendly repore with the NCM from dealing with them for the NATS, plus they enjoyed us being there since we were an easy event for them. I'd just paid them the final payment recently so i made a remark about the motorsports park...which then turned into some brainstorming on how else to raise $, which then led to the executive director emailing me asking me to write a letter on behalf of the SyTy NATS on how we'd benefit from utilizing the Motorsports Track for our event.
hmmm...interesting indeed.
So i just fired an email back to him with some more ideas. I've got pleeeenty of ideas for them, but i don't wanna just hand it all to them right away. :lol: besides, maybe i can negotiate some track time for us in lieu of my helping them. We'll see.
Anyway, right now they're doing personal/corporate sponsorships to "buy" acreage of the park. $15,000 lands you membership and some prepaid track time. I don't currently know the details of how much track time, but will be finding out. What is interesting though, is that we, as a SyTy group, can all pull funds together and buy us some prepaid track time if we were to raise $15k. I know i'd be willing to throw like $500 at this, as i'm sure others would too. So i'm suggesting that if we can get 30 people to donate $500, we could have ourselves a pretty wild meet, plus i'm sure we as a group would get our own brick and some publicity once the place is built.
I would also suggest that we have different levels of sponsorship within our group. For those unable to swing $500, but still want to be a part of it. I'd recommend 3 levels of $100, $250, and $500. Those wanting to give more would just buy multiple positions. What would you get for your contribution? Track time....varying amounts depending on what you donated. Until the NCM irons out their own detals, i can't really draft out legitimate details for our SyTy $15k...but i think it would be worth our efforts to do this. There has got to be 30 people here willing to donate $500. :tup:
Then, depending on whenever the track would be built, we could try to land NATS back in BG that year...and have ourselves a track meet. I see this as being a pretty incredible opportunity as a group. So please chime in and let me know your thoughts. Regardless of whether or not we are able to come up with the $15k, i'll be attempting to squeeze myself onto their brainstorming committee and continue to bounce ideas off of them...to further help our possibilities of utilizing the track for a Syty event. :tup:
