LIME ROCK ? A CLUB, NOW?

[michael lang]

Nick has a very good and interesting point of view. Many tracks appear to be going in that direction. The price of fixed operations for a track must be astronomical, I can understand why many complexes have made their facilites a members first type of "club". I use that term loosely. Look at what has happened to the NFL. In 1997, when the Ravens first came to Baltimore, I had the opportunity to buy a PSL for something crazy like $800.00 in the middle of the field. I didn't because I favor another team but my point is look at what has happened in the NFL over the last 10 years with teams and how they had to come up with creative solutions to pay for their fixed operations. All the tracks are doing is copycatting a formula that works. Track time will still be able to be had. Tracks will always have payroll to make, equipment to pay for, insurance and taxes that have to be covered, and they will be looking to us to help them meet all those obligations. Nick I understand your concern especially for a new track but don't give it too much worry, RTR does put on an extremely good event and its reputation will get it good dates on the Thunderbolt schedule.
