Land/Zoning: Total Cost of Ownership Report (anyone a business major?)
Personnel costs: NTBA
Zoning: NTBA Is this business, commercial class A? residential (someone needs to find out) Try contacting City of VA Beach Building Permits.


Goals already accomplished: We want a safe place to Race and possibly hang out, or do we want to just own the land and do nothing with it? My point- if this isn’t going to become a full fledged track, its pointless. Hangout spots are all over the place- we don’t have nearly enough tracks. We have the space to build anything reasonable!

What we already know: We need backing from shops- anyone getting on this? Maybe someone who works nights? Visit some shops.

Facts:
Actual measurements:
The measurements are taken with the Main Hangers angled Right from the main road.
North -> Southwest Strip is 2541 Ft long - Plenty for a Drag strip.
Main Strip-> 2508 Ft - again, plenty for a 1/4 mile Drag Strip. THIS IS IDEAL simply because you can turn LEFT and Exit the facility, or get back in line. Width 132 ft. minus 48 feet for two lane track. 84 Ft left for Road Course lane.
East -> West strip - 2540 Ft. still plenty of space.
Hanger Lane-> 2244 Ft. plenty for parking and general BS.

Total land FROM the scale map says 3000x3400 FT (could be off)

Coordinates- UTM 18 (36.6056°N, 76.0048°W) (WGS84/NAD83)

List of possible sponsors- I do not know most of these people personally- some of them I will talk to *myself*.
*Elite Auto Collision Center- willing to sponsor with Business Plan*
*Hectors Tires and Rims*
BAPGeon
Pep Boys
Merchants/Tire Kingdom
Meineke Muffler
Tire House and Rims
Lee's Tire
Tread Quarters- Dean

Genros

*Updated
Abacus Racing
SevenCityRacing.com is onboard
Direct Performance- Jimmy
Millenium Motorsports

*Parts House- willing to sponsor under proper business plan*
Performance Unlimited
MAS
All Aspects Motorsports
Street Motorsports- official supporter- To0C0oL

*PM ME when you have definite info from a possible shop/sponsor!!!

ANYONE who can help out definitely-PM ME!

I am helping with the idea a Road course is also a primary Goal in this grand design.
6392465 - Rob

Everyone does not need to call a company- but I do need Ideas and direct confirmation of implied support. ie. scca is interested-as long as we have a business plan. Yet- I see no one offering to write one up. Out of all the college students we have on Drag and none of you are business majors??

Just talked with my General Manager here at Hall Honda.

Mr. Hall use to sponsor some races at langley. one of our drivers crashed and apparently there was some sort of dispute going on. dont know the details but now Mr. Hall has put an end to sponsoring anything having to do with racing of any kind.

I tried, wish there was more I could do cause this is a great idea.

do me a huge favor, and find out. tell the contractor you need interstate grade paving, approximately 2.8 Miles long will be the track length.
Width of pavement should average 24-30 Ft wide.
Can you get a price?

highly unlikely but could happen.. all we "really" need to do is find some rich person who is bored and feels like spending money
