Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2004County/City land for a club track - help.
Howdy, Our County government is allowing use of some land, that belongs to th Parks and Recreation department, to be used to build an off-road RC ca track. They will support the project even further if we can show that it wil be used. I would like to hear from people who have been in similar situation before. We are trying to figure out how to create a club structure t manage the race program etc... while still being "free" for the ta payers. Currently, we do not have a formal "club" per se. But we thinking tha at some point, we might need to create a club and "adopt" the Count track facility as a home track. That way, we will be a seperate entit and maintain financial independence. We can't charge people to use track that was built using tax payers funds... surely you can see th situation. Please chime in if you have some experience with this. It is certainl a great problem to have as I am sure many people would LOVE to ge their municipal governments to support RC projects. Anyway, thanks in advance.
