Memo From High Plains Raceway…….
Yes, it's true! Not only has construction begun, but in just six short weeks since construction started, the asphalt work is done. The final layer of the black stuff is now on the entire racing surface, paddock and access road. WOW!


That's the good news. Nay, that's the great news! Thanks to you, HPR is now a reality and will be operational next season. However, all of the roughly $3.5 million raised so far was needed to provide the bare "useable facility." Yes, costs were more than was expected, in large part due to the dramatic increase in oil prices this past year. We wish that it weren't so. . . . but it is!

The harsh reality is a continued need to raise funds in order to have the amenities we all desire and deserve. The other good news is that there is still a sizeable pool of track users who have yet to contribute. Please be assured that we are aggressively soliciting those folks to "get on board." We don't expect that existing donors, such as yourself, should have to bear the brunt of additional financial needs.






What's Still Needed
To provide some idea of what is needed, a list of amenities, priorities and cost estimates for implementing them is being assembled. The priorities and timing depend on how much and how quickly money is raised, on possible different combinations of buildings, and a lot of other variables. The following targets briefly outline the fund raising task ahead:

URGENTLY NEEDED - These are the things urgently required for the coming season to be able to race with reasonable convenience. Things like water & electricity services, bathrooms and showers, a workable timing/scoring facility, corner stations, canopies, etc. It is estimated that these basic items will require about $200,000 to $250,000.
LIFE WOULD BE GREAT - This next level of amenities includes such things as classroom/concession building, RV hookups, a PA system, shade porticos, a children's play area, etc. which we would all like to have but aren't quite as urgent for the coming season. These could easily add another $150,000 to $200,000. Thankfully some of these, like RV hookups, also provide revenue potential for HPR thus making their construction additionally desirable.
THE ULTIMATE FACILITY - Then there are the really nice things like a permanent, shaded pre-grid, garages, paddock Wi-Fi, enlarged paddock, etc. all of which we would all dearly love to have eventually. The timing and feasibility of these kinds of luxuries will be totally dependent on how much is raised and when. These could obviously cost large dollars and may not happen right away, but why not try?
Starting the 2009 season with the URGENTLY NEEDED items above is now job-one. That level of contributions is needed ASAP to insure deliverability for the upcoming 2009 season.
