Isn't the maintenance and upkeep and housing of a track more expensive
that the initial build-out? What's the plan for this?

FWIW, we drive 50 miles in Friday afternoon rush hour traffic to go
racing.

The drivers stand is the most expensive. We have been able to start a
track for about $4000 US. The stand is going up this week, and it was
more than half of the expense.

You can see our track at the link below, the 'Secunda' albums.

Yeah right cause without any details thats gonna happen, we managed to set
up our largescale track without any worldwide blanket requests for money
from complete strangers.

what would you spend it on?
How will you make sure you keep the track once setup?
where is the ongoing support comming from?
how many people are already involved?

Once you have enough people interested and find land where you have
permission to set a track up and a basic plan to get and keep going. then
ask for support including details and pictures.
you will piss people off doing it the way you appear to be, thats if anybody
actualy belives you in the first place.
