[DeTomaso] Fun Rally Track Event Survey

[Richard Greenblum]

John,

1.  I don't run my car on the track anymore because I still have Campys for
which there are no tires, and because I just had the exterior restored and
don't want to hurt it.  So, I would go to the track event to see the cars
run, but not having a track event wouldn't stop me from attending,
regardless of where the event is held.

2.   I love SD, one of my favorite cities in this great country.  The only
problem with it is the distance from just about anywhere outside the vast
west.  Any coastal city will share that problem.  With that said, if I can
get my car sorted out by then, I'm planning on going to SD.

I agree with what John and Michael said about the effort it takes to pull it
off.  Thank you John for taking it on.

Richard
Austin, TX

Just to be clear, the decision to NOT have a track event was a POCA
decision; it was NOT a SDP decision.

The number of attendees at the track events has slowly been decreasing over
the years, and losses have
occurred, even with POCA's AND the sponsor's contributions.

With a $10,000 to $15,000 track rental cost, there needs to be a lot of
participants to even break even.
At $250 per car, 40 cars are needed to raise $10k.  This year's track
participation had 18 cars.

Here are some questions:

!. How many would NOT attend a Fun Rally that does NOT have a track event ?

2. If San Diego did have a track event, how many of the respondents to
question #2 would NOT be going
to San Diego because it's too far for them to travel?

If you do not wish to respond to this list, contact me off list.  I will
keep it confidential.

Thanks,
John
