reader beware I am not trying to start a debate just laying out a few facts.
please I do not want this to become a circus!!
ok so we are trying to get a nascar track here in washington state. we need every RF member to help us support our own track!!!!
check the link below and fill out the form to help us show there is a ton of interest!!!
5,200 fans went to a event that was not advertised met drivers like kasey kayne, greg biffle, micheal and darrel waltrip!!!!!
let me inform you of some info about nascar for those who do not know.
take the next race in atlanta. tickets for a 3 days of events cost around $200 or more. now you need hotels, food, travel, site seeing. now you take that into concederation and times it by 80,000 fans (Thats how much butt kissing they are doing) average attendance is 125,000 fans at other races.
well if my math is right thats 16 million dumped into the economy + hotels, air travel, food, site seeing, cars, ferry, and misc. well I think you get the point.
mariners ticket sales for average 30,000 for 80 games in a season at $25 a peice is at 60 million.
3 days verses 8 miserable months??
nascar might even do 2 races a year here
not to mention the local racers, craftsman truck series, and more!!!
I look at it this way if they are going to bend over backwards for the sonics (let them move to bellevue who cares) 200 mill for key arena. the owner if talledega superspeedway is the one who is financing this track he has asked for 120 mill from the state (yes our taxes sorry you are going to pay for one thing or the other anyway!!!!)(expensive tunnel instead of a cheap replacement not to mention the 100 or so million they have already wasted in planning crap yup thats your money gone out the window too)
They are talking about enviroment risk.. well thats the funniest thing I have heard. a farm gets a make over. is that bad?? what about the rate of develoment in redmond issaquah they are half way to snoqualmie I see more damage done there than in a farm getting a make over!!
so I feel like seattle did a real good thing by letting the cruise lines in here.
passager list in 2004 450,000
passager list in 2005 700,000
wow thats a big jump. looks like the economy has done well by cruises alone.
why not a nascar track??
feel free to post any opinions/questions
