Old Road major blitz now on - read and weap   Message List

RE: [bikers_anon] Re: Old Road major blitz now on - read and weap

Plan B.

They talk about us making the old road a private race track and I think that
is the best idea they've had all day.

$750,000 buys us 5172 ride days at Eastern Creek (@$145 on the Track Star
Program).

30 riders per group, 4 groups per day or a total of 120 riders per day.

The government could shout us 43 fully booked days for 5172 riders.

With no more than 3 ride days at a track per week, it'll take 40 weeks to
get through the bookings.

Compared to 13 weeks to ferry around the fat cops in my previous estimate,
this option seems much better

Sam
