I understand there is a line of people looking to get money from him that is owed to them from as far back as when he was a teenager.
Absolutely correct about Bonne Terre not asking for donations or investors. I don't really know any other track builder that has done so in the past.

I didn't go and see any reason to go after reading on here what sg3526 posted on what he wanted,if bonne terre wasn't there I would consider going,went to all the last meetings which was a big waist,i understand he has a dream and want to keep it going and mid Missouri might need another track,bonne terre is my hometown track and happy there,bonne terre didn't ask for money or hand outs,or wanted anyone to help,as I ask when they was building bonne terre and ask if they needed help and said no,what is Ronnie planning on giving the investors for the money they put up,in the first place where do you find 1000 racers at that has 2500.00 just laying around,i surport his efforts but he needs to do this on his own,im a average American living pay check to pay check,wonder if he takes a iou or credit cards All good points John and that has been my point the entire time, I too attended all the meetings and supported him to the extent that I could. I even signed on to be a lane sponsor once the track was completed. I like Ronnie but he just needs to face the fact that there isn't 1000 racers in the area period much less 1000 that are willing to give up $2500 to someone that believes this is going to be his nest egg and retirement from his day to day work. If Ronnie wants to get this track done he needs to turn over control to someone that has the resources to do what needs to be done rather than looking to the racers to finance his dream. And for the record my source hit the nail on the head on what he was going to approach everyone with as far as a proposal which is why I opted out of this meeting, he tried this once before at one of his other meetings, I believe it was at the VFW Hall in Wentzville. As soon as he announced that he and his wife were going to quit their daily jobs and he wanted to sell shares in the place I got up and left.

How come no one has jumped on the Go Fund Me band wagon for MAR that is opening 2016? Lot of pretty renderings. Only $100.00 raised since it was started 18 days ago. Also the $100 was anonymous (Hmmmm.)

I hear there will be a ravine outside of each lane so they can have drag boat races too.
