Thanks Lori and Dave for your help and kind words.
Thanks Firemen, it means a lot to read your post.
The WINTERNATIONALS at Whealkate Bluff 2011 will be Saturday, Jan 15th. We may go to a Friday Qualifying and bring back our Semi-Pro/SPORT Division.
The landowners were GREAT to work with and were pleased with the event. They prefer us not to run on Sunday if we run a 2 day event. They have given us permission to do some work on the parking this summer. I'm meeting with them next week to see if we can widen the hill so fans to the north can get a better view of the action.
While we had support from some business's, to make this event even bigger I am hoping we'll get more sponsorship. I didn't know that the event had the economic impact it had, so what Lori said makes me feel good.
We raised enough money to start the 'legal work' on forming the Motorsport Enthusiasts that CARE (METC) foundation. Now I am trying to find a lawyer and accountant that can help us out without charging us too much.
Thanks again to all those that came out and watched! The Fans were FANTASTIC!
Now it is on to Sidnaw for the Drag Races on Feb 13th, then Munising on March 6th and 7th. I'll be announcing the 525 race in Wausau on Jan 30th and 31st, then announcing for the ORA at Sauk Centre, MN the following weekend. If anyone that attended the hillclimb is at any of these events, please stop by and let me know what you thought.
