Didn't realize it was that pricey. Those PCA guys have alot of $$. Already with the Josh jokes Mikey? You are quite the trend setter.

Too soon??

Too soon??

Not for me, but I'm sick and twisted

Not a lot of money. That is why they had those to events at the Birdville lot, which was only a few hundred bucks -- to make room in the budget for the Ballpark lot.

I would not mind the NTAXS having an event at the Ballpark lot, but we would have to charge $50-$60 just to break even. ER would probably be on the same boat.

I'd be willing.

[TexasStig]

I'd be willing.

Me too. Heck, it costs me $15 in gas to get to MW so it won't be that big of a hit!

Plus it's great pavement and fairly large

Now just find 63 others. And remember, talk's cheap.

[TxCoyote]

I think TexasStig's point is valid. The savings from the drive to MW in time and gas would offset the $15 premium, especially if we had mid heat entertainment like Mikey's comedy tour or Ken O's nono square dance

[Robert]

Yep, until I think about a lot of events at Mineral Wells are $20-$25. I would be looking at another $20 for the ballpark. I would most likely go, not sure how many of the non hard core people would show up.

Persistence pays off. Over the last three years I have investigated at least 4 new sites as well as put in a huge effort to keep Pennington. We almost had Alliance airport but the Texas Driving Experience Incedent happened the week I was going to sign the contract and they got cold feet. There are a few more sites I am investigating.

3 down, 60 more to go. Challenge accepted!

How do you start a poll on this forum-thingy we're on?

[nomadtrash]

Still losing money at 63. Probably need 70 to make it worth while. Our season prepay folks would need to chip in $30 too.

[Jim_H]

I'm in......................59 to go.

[wmr]

I'm in too

FYI - Some dimensions: (these are all VERY approx, using google earth)

Resistol Arena - 190'x1000'

PMS - 400'x650'

TMS - 500'x1050'

Royal Purple Raceway (another long, skinny site, with 3 light poles) - 370'x1200'

Lone Star Park - 600'x1400' (closer to 1000' long with the big hill that separates grid/paddock)

and of course, MW - 1100'x1500' (not including paddock and grid areas, but counting-in the bad surface areas)




OH, you can count me in for the Ballpark. 57...

[TxCoyote]

Now we are getting somewhere. BTW, last year I think (not sure) the price for the Ballpark was around $2500, not $3000 but maybe Travis can chirp in as he sometimes trolls here.

[slowchildmiata]

Size matters...

[OZMDD]

BTW - which lot at the Ballpark was used? In scanning them, i only see one that is really large enough to be better than PMS, south of the Ballpark, East of JerryWorld, just east of the creek.

[CosmosMpower]

I thought we couldn't use the ballpark anymore since the pavement was pulling up by the end of the event? The shape of the course is kind of an out and back as well due to the shape with a lot of slaloms.
