Don't take this the wrong way but I have to say something about the above comments. And not in a bad way. I understand why they are said. Hell given the circumstances I would probably have made similar posts. I also want to preface this and say that I really don't think that the forums are a good place to be posting what I want to say and I had planned to bring it up at a club meeting. But Since everyone would like to maybe have a chance at having a permanent track before next spring I am going to bring it up now.
So here goes.
I feel like there should be more "club" involvement in selecting a location and building a track. Making one person feel like it is all on them to build a track is not how it should be. It shouldn't be one persons money or one persons sweat that is used to get a track built. That goes the same for the club members. They should not feel like it is the elected officers job to make it happen. It should be an activity for the entire club working together to make it happen.
Here is what I think we should do. The club as a whole needs to decide what they wish they had in a track, what they will settle for and what the budget is. Then vote on it. Then nominate 2-3 people to investigate possible locations using the requirements the club voted on as a guide. Club members could suggest locations and the nominated people could investigate those possibilities.
Then later after all of the possibilities have been investigated report back to the club with the findings. They would tell what the land owner requirements are end etc.
Then the club could decide if one of the locations is worth pursuing.
It may very well be that all locations are too expensive or that there just isn't a suitable location. It would have to be an ongoing project. It might take a few years or it could happen quick. It just depends on what they find. And of course for now we can continue racing at the locations we are now. But at least we are working towards a greater goal.
I think that somewhere around here there is a place we can have an on road and off road track that would fit the needs of the club.
Again I am not attacking anyone. I just want everyone to realize that unless we all work together or someone hits the lottery it's not gonna happen.
