NG15 Full Road Course Track

I believe it was Tom who asked a while back what it would take to upgrade to the full track at NG15 Road Course, and I said I'd get back to him (and everyone else).

I've done research, looked at our budget, and have determined it would take an additional $3000 to upgrade.

If that's something people are interested in, they can paypal donations to our paypal address or PM me for it. If we don't collect enough, I'll happily refund. Unfortunately, we only have a few days to make it happen, and there are no guarantees that the track would be able to pull it off (although I think they can, and I've been told it's likely but not promised).

oooo :D

How many people do we have signed up for the Road Course?

There are 30 people signed up currently for the Road Course, that is 100 per driver

Keep in mind when doing the math, typically at ncm you'll pay $250-290 for a single day with other organizations when running grand course.

Maybe contact all road course drivers and set a deadline for donations to facilitate interest and response.

I actually sent an email to all registrants for the event. It's really up to you guys whether or not you're interested. We may actually need a little more than $3000. A portion of my budget was just eaten up by people who did the group buy for the event then paid again when they registered and just realized it. If it's more, it's not much more.

Donations have started coming in. This might be easily do-able.

Will be sending mine in the morning Lori.

For those you who are just doing the touring lap and may upgrade to the full road course, what will the price difference be if you guys end up getting the full track?

I can't answer that yet. We've honestly barely had time to consider the idea of upgrading at this point. Let's see if it happens, before I start making decisions based on the possibility.

Official word from the track... Given 7 days notice, they can make this happen. Given less, no guarantees. That means we need to get donations in as quickly as possible.

Donation sent.

We've only collected $550 so far, and only 3 people have contributed. I'm still leaving it open - people may just be waiting and it's not like I have time to do any refunds before Thursday anyway. People are expressing to me that they REALLY want the full track. If that's the case, you need to donate. If we don't collect enough, and the NG can't kick in a little more, then we'll refund the donations on Thursday morning and we'll proceed as planned with the west track. It's risk-free.

Is this on the 3sgto facebook page? If not do you think that would help get the word out?

Yes he posted it yesterday so you can bump it

Update... We're at $850.

funds sent

We've got a couple of hours left (honestly, I'll probably close this off when I wake up in the morning just to be fair to everyone), and right now we're at $1500, with twelve people donating.

Sorry, guys... I tried. :( All refunds have been made.

Thanks for trying

Yeah, what Paul said! I appreciate it, too bad we couldn't get the money together. It'll still be a blast on West course :)
