KCIR so far has had the cheapest track rental fees. I think like $3,500.00 for everything. Maybe we could some how pull that one off if we get some sponsors.

This isn't hard to do it just takes someone willing to step and do the work. None of us want to put up our own money and hope people show up so it has to be prepay with refunds if it doesn't happen.

I can maybe get Kyle to setup a pre-pay on my website for this. I can open a new account at the bank and hold this money as it comes in and pay for the track when enough money is built up. I am sure everyone would trust me enough to do this. Let me work on that.

I can setup the registration through Tony's site and then use paypal to accept the payments. If we end up having a no-go decision though, we won't be able to refund the full registration fee due to the paypal transaction fee.
The transaction fee is 1.9% - 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. So if you paid $30 to register you may only get $28.83 - $29.13 back. Will this be an issue for anyone?

The pre-pay amount will more than likely be a little more than $30.00. If we could get a more accurate guess on how many would show I would know what to charge for pre-pay. If I charged $50.00 each, that would lock in 70 people which would pay for the track. And since I am not out to make a profit for this event if a lot more people pre-pay or show up we could use the remainder of the money for payouts, prizes, charity.....etc. We could make a vote on that. It looks like we will have some sponsors pitching in as well. know PortPros and Nitrous Outlet would like to help. Let me know if any other companies would like to sponsor or help the event.
Kyle......I will talk to KCIR tomorrow and if I can get some cooperation from them and get a tentitive track date set.......go ahead and build the page on my site and lets get the ball rolling.
Jeff and Tony (speed density)......I will keep you in the loop as well as everyone else on the boards.

Make sure to discuss the gate money with them. There should be a decent amount of crew and spectators. 50 is reasonable for something like this and would hopefully cover some nice trophies. Payouts are definitly a secondary issue and maybe if we can land enough sponsors they can cover payouts as they wish products, gift certificates, cash etc.

Also, I need the information that you guys want to collect for the registration, i.e. name, address, make, model, etc. I'll get started as soon as I get the details squared away.
I will get with you on what info to have on the page. Thanks Kyle!

I think $50-$70 is reasonable.

Let me know if you have any trouble getting in contact with anyone at KCIR. They are going through a minor ownership change (one of the 3 owners is selling out to another guy), so it may be difficult to get ahold of the right person.
If you have troubles I can make a call or 2.

I'm still going to try and make it but the car is about to come apart now. May will be pushing it with all the changes I plan on making. I will still regisister and at least show up to watch.
