RHill Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hmmm private day following a normal TD sounds like a really good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelstoker Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Two slow I riders interested asI know my brother in GA would be up for it as well. I have never done Jennings and it is on the list. We have run Roebling Road in Feb. and it was fricking awesome (weather and track). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I would be down for a private rental day or two after the first of the year. I have friends in Jax that would likely contribute if there was room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) OK people, so here is the deal; there are a few slots available in March and the surrounding months. I requested dates adjacent to weekends, that way at least one day commuting does not require vacation AND anyone who is interested in staying another day has that opportunity. From their response it looks like Friday March 3rd, 7th or Monday March 24th or 31st are the days in March we have to choose from. Friday Feb. 28th is also available. Their office is closed till Thursday the 17th, I'd like to have a date picked out by then if we are going to do this. Personally, I'd prefer a Monday...probably the 24th or 31st. TwiztedRabbit(Jason) has been a big help with providing ideas on how to handle the financial side of things while keeping this simple and FUN. If you haven't already taken a look at the costs; Jennings breaks down it's track rental as such: 1 - 6 Riders $23507 - 15 Riders $289516 - 30 Riders $339531 - 50 Riders $3995 There are a few additional options; Additional Corner workers ($90.00 each per day)Tire Service $60. 1 ½ hours twice a day/all day for $125/ $15 a flipStart and Stop (Mock Races) practices $150.00 Gate Person ($10.00 an hour/night before) minimum of 3 hours IMHO I think tire service and a gate person are necessities. So that is an additional $155 tacked on the above rental costs. Obviously, this makes exactly splitting the rental fee very difficult, because you don't know an exact price or number of riders to divide by until the last person signs up. On the opposite side of the spectrum is the rental deposit; $500 to hold the date and 50% 60 days prior. This is where Twizted presented the idea of a flat rate per rider paid in advance, and any extra money is put toward amenities such as providing lunch, mock races, or giveaways. I'd say the number of riders is completely up in the air, which makes determining a flat rate price awkward. There seems to be a lot of interest, but no "barrier to entry" at this point. I'd say we start at $220 entrance fee assuming a "mid-teens" turnout and move forward from there. If we pass 20 people and start to develop a significant "Fun Fund" I'm sure we can find a way to put the money to good use....covering entrance fees, Jennings or OR t-shirts. Upwards of 25 riders, maybe gift certificates to the website sponsors or something a little more significant. I'm open to ALL ideas; however, I DO NOT want to do partial refunds, especially if anyone pays in cash....I'm not spending my vacation day at the track running people down to give them $25 back. Just to put this out there, I have absolutely no interest in making a dime off this; I'll be putting my entrance fee in just like everyone else. I originally planned on just hitting up a normal trackday or 3 at Jennings, but it seems like there is enough interest to make this happen and it will be an absolute blast. I'll keep account of all the transactions and if anyone wants to "check the books" I'll be more than happy to share all the financials. This is still a feeler/brainstorming post....I'll put together an official launch post in the next couple days, so please provide input.

RonStopable Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I am definetly interested the date being the biggest deciding factory ( the later the better). Money is not a problem since Jeff and I are planning to rob a few banks this winter to pay for the 2014 race season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Id probably be in again. Although I was kinda wondering what other tracks we could hit up this winter. Jennings was cool and all but I like trying new tracks. But if this is what everyone else is doin then I will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
