fundraising is close to $2.2 million. latest lap simulation on the most recent layout.

Depending on how deep you dig into the real condition of the car, you may be ahead with the rear end. It should have an r-200 3.36 rearend which is preferable for hybridz projects. As far as the lines of the car, at least it isn't a 280zx 2+2 :-D Being from PA, I am sure there is a lot of bondo and paint hiding a lot of stuff(rust, rust and more rust).

The USR for High Plains Raceway has been approved by a unanimous vote by the county. Closing for the land is schduled on the 31st. This despite a land owner who lives 5 miles away and complains about noise from the semi trucks driving on us 36, and us denver drivers that aren't used to slow moving farm implements.

Here is a great sim lap on the latest track layout. Most recent numbers $430K- member contributions $450K- loan program $883K- starting capital $1,763,000 latest news release

Welcome to the site Jeff! I figure keeping track of individual donations, the loans and commercial monies will take care of themselves. I am sure there will be a huge jump when the USR is finally approved(hopefully by feb 15th) from all of those sitting on the fence.

fund raising has broken the $400K mark. most recent update

I think hillary has the widest stance.

I'm going to wait and see how wide the candidates stances are.

Another update. October 20, 2007 – HPR News Release What's Happening-Continued ! Well it is another weekend working in my home office and wishing I was at the SCCA double Regional. I have just completed processing this week's credit card contributions, which bring our total so far in the member fundraising campaign to $346,682. That's an increase of a hundred thousand over my letter of September 8th. We have now reached 35% of our fundraising goal and are at 70% of the amount projected to meet that portion of our construction release parameters. To date we have mailed fundraising brochures to 4,573 members, with more planned. The response to date represents 426 generous members. While most contributors have opted for some level of the brick recognition program there have been many who have shared whatever amount they can spare. All levels are appreciated and needed to have a first class facility. We have conducted four track informational meetings at May Farms in Byers and at the Red Lion Inn. Some of you have had the opportunity to walk the track. The clubs have started a phone campaign soliciting support for the track from the members who have not yet contributed. It is very encouraging to see the excitement level amongst the membership as the reality of HPR grows. The legal documents for the loan program continued to consume much of the CAMA representatives time the past few weeks. I am now pleased to state that the Operating Agreement for CAMLC and the loan documents to CAMA are now complete. The package has been turned over to SEC lawyers to prepare the Private Placement Documents. We anticipate that all the documents will be complete by no later than Mid-November and we can begin signing up all the interested loan participants. If you have an interest in the program please contact any of the CAMA representatives or your club board. Arapahoe County provided us with their first response to our Use by Special Review (USR) application. The review thus far has not identified any negatives and their questions related mostly to requests for more details on the design, grading and drainage plans. The design team is busy preparing responses and modifications to the application and is giving priority to returning the package to the County in a timely manner. Speaking of the design team, in addition to Bill Howard (RMVR) of Plan West who is handling our permitting & design along with Rick Goncalves (RMR-PCA) of RG Consulting, our engineer, we have two new key additions to the team. Matt Proehl (RMR-PCA) who is a Project Manager for Haselden Construction has taken the duty of being the Track Construction Manager. Also, we are very excited to have entered a consulting agreement with Wilson Motorsport. Alan brings many years of expertise and will assist us with construction planning, asphalt specifications and track safety features. The design team has been extremely busy preparing the construction grading plan. Much time is being devoted to establishing spot elevations and finished contours. The team's energies are focused on the vertical & horizontal curves along with the angle of the verge trackside and in run-off areas. I have been a participant in the process and while I have been allowed some token input, I think they just keep me around as the buffer to keep budget and reality in harmony. Once the grading plan is complete Matt will be able to prepare accurate construction estimates, timelines and start the contractor bidding process. Assuming a positive response from the County, a successful capital campaign this fall, along with a warm spring in '08, we are hopeful to be racing at HPR next summer. The clubs are working together to prepare a tentative event schedule for next season. Watch the website for the announcement of that schedule. Don't forget that contributions are deposited to a restricted account and will be returned to you if CAMA has not reached the construction release parameters by December, 2008. Keep the contributions coming and tell your friends you are a `founding contributor' . Sincerely, Charlie Thompson CAMA Manager

I don't see a satellite dish on your ship. http://www.pointmanspage.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13171&g2_serialNumber=2

The web site has been updated with founding contributors and acknowledgments for the volunteers and pro bono work. So far $300K has been raised through member donations. Commercial and advertising has yet to be added. The minimum amount HPR needs from members is at least $500K, more donations means more ammenities. They won't break ground until all the money is raised, if it isn't built then you will get your money back.

You might also check for any and all vacuum leaks, especially the AFM boots.

Fund raising has been coming along nicely. $246K from 271 members. This is not including any commercial or advertising contributors. September 8, 2007 - HPR What's Happening! Well it is Saturday afternoon and I have just completed processing this weeks credit card contributions. This brings our total so far in the member fundraising campaign to $246,124. By the time this is released we can say that we have raised our first quarter million, which is 25% of our fundraising goal and 50% of the fundraising budgeted. To date we have had 271 members make contributions. This breaks down to: 147 members who gave up to $250 25 who gave at $250 to $500 74 between $1,000 to $1,500 18 between $2,500 to $5,000 and 7 members at $10,000 or over Interestingly this diversity displays that every contribution is important, no matter what level. The next steps in the fundraising campaign entails personal phone calls from members of each club along with informational meetings. Both are proving to be successful and you should watch your club newsletters and web sites for details of coming events. This past couple of weeks your Colorado Amateur Motorsport Associates, LLC (CAMA) representatives have been consumed in legal documents needed to establish the loan program. The process of providing adequate security for the lenders and protecting the investments of the member clubs is requiring massive but necessary paperwork. We expect in the next couple of weeks to have the loan company, Colorado Amateur Motorsports Lending Co. (CAMLC), formed and the loan documents between CAMA and CAMLC finalized. The law firm handling the SEC private placement memorandum is awaiting these documents to complete the process. CAMLC has verbal commitments for half of the loan goal and significant interest for the balance of the amount needed to be borrowed. In fairness to the lenders, we are not adding any of these funds to the web site contribution thermometer until each lender has signed their share of the documents. If the thermometer were adjusted to include the committed loans we would be extremely close to the two million dollar level today and well on our way to realizing our dream of building HPR. In the midst of the fundraising activities and legal document preparation your representatives have been working closely with the design team. Bill Howard, of Plan West (RMVR) and I reviewed our track designs with Alan Wilson, who had exciting suggestions to enhance the fun level of the circuit and provided emphasis on various safety factors. Alan's valuable input was combined recently with other ideas we have received from many of our own members' knowledge of a variety of race tracks. The result is an improved version of the track design which has us very excited. The most notable change was to make the turns down the bobsled run to be more dominant and challenging. The runoff area for the turn at the bottom of that hill was also repositioned. Also, there have been modifications to the turns at the end of the straightaway & the hairpin to make those sections safer while still as incredible. Check the website soon for postings of the new drawings and watch for announcements of informational meetings to learn more about the new configuration. With the design nearing finality, efforts have begun to initiate the construction process. RG Consulting, our engineering team owned by Rick Goncalves (RMR-PCA), will soon begin preparation of the final grading plan. Preliminary review has begun confirming the major components of our construction estimate with the actual design. Also, the bid process to formalize construction costs and contracts will soon be underway. In the meantime, we are anxiously awaiting Arapahoe County's first response to our Use by Special Review (USR) application. Keep the contributions coming and I will try to be more diligent in my updates. Sincerely, Charlie Thompson CAMA Manager

Well, I went to the meeting for the new track. 240zman was out of town, cethern didn't sound sick enough over the phone so he had to go to work, Art couldn't make it up to Denver, david muramoto was busy wrenching on his tube frame 350z for the upcoming race at La Junta, jover got home from work and crashed. I went up to the meeting and it was very informative. BTW, the new track is going to be very exciting when it is built. I don't know if 280~master showed up or not. I was down in the parking lot till 6:45 then went up to the meeting.

How does 6:30 sound? Then head up to the meeting room for the track info meeting., which starts promptly at 7pm. We'll meet in the red lion parking lot that is closer to the stadium on the south side of the hotel. I'm still not sure how many will show up. Me, cethern(might have a cold coming on), John Over and 280master. Not sure about Art yet or David Muramoto. There might be a couple of 350z guys, but won't know till then.

Is everybody ok on the location change?

$200K donated as of 8-20-07

I got an email from art saying his family won't be able to make it, but he might still make the trip. I don't think anyone wants to play games, after all it's just a small gathering. Here is the latest about the meeting. Information Meeting: For those of you who have questions or are just seeking new or additional information on HPR, RMVR members(open to all) are invited to an Information Meeting on Wednesday, August 29th. In attendance will be Charlie Thompson (CAMA Manager), Bill Howard (Plan West), Bob Darcey (your RMVR rep to CAMA), and Bob Alder (Capital Campaign). There will be a short presentation of information including large detailed drawings of the planned facility. The meeting it is primarily intended as an information exchange to bring you up to speed on recent developments, questions and/or concerns. Time: 6:00 doors open, 7:00 a short presentation. Be done no later than 9:00. Place: Red Lion Inn, 14th Floor. This is the tall circular hotel on the north side of Mile-Hi Stadium. (1975 Bryant St.) FYI, the Red Lion has a nice restaurant/bar on the 14th floor. You can come early to grab a drink at the bar (Sorry, cash bar) or order some food. Or you can stay late and do the more of the same since the restaurant/bar is open late. In case you want to have dinner before or after the meeting, the food is reasonably priced. I know the track might not interest the out of towners, but there will be time to bs after the meeting.

Yet another shining example of the "you owe me generation"

OH MY GOD, You are so right!!! Let 's all coddle the poor little thief so he will know that it's alright to take other parts without paying!! Whoever said spare the rod spoil the child should be shot!

I would have paid for it. What you did was pure theft. It's true the car will get crushed eventually, but that is no excuse to steal parts. The salvage yards are there to make money, just like anyone else trying to run a business.
