Lol. Fred wants this to be a productive conversation and then tells us to follow the governments plan for solving problems. J/k.
I'm game. When do we break out the chain saws?

old tech shed as well!! i've never seen that much water that fast
but i agree with what the whole thread is about and to sum up the whole thing
#1: we all want walls moved as well but its not as easy as moving the walls, so we do what is the next best thing and use aifence that ALL OF US donate for through the chili cook off etc..
#2: no track can ever be 100% safe, just not possible
#3: understand that tracks nationwide are likely aware of the exact things that you see & are likely trying to make it safer somehow

So if we're talking about actually doing work....
If NESBA officially starts the fund raiser for air fence.
and accepts donation via its site, I'll be glad to donate.
Also, I think this approach will be better than the cook out route, cause everyone can participate and a bigger audience.
some of you who have years of experience going to these tracks decide where the air fence is needed, how much of it etc.
come up with a target cost/ # of air fence etc. Make that information public on the donations page.
keep it updated as to how much money has been collected and how much more is needed.
post it on here...and we donate and make it happen!

thats already been done, its the road racing world action fund, the chili cook off proceeds go towards airfence for blackhawk farms only as its essentially the midwest regions "home" track. If you donate to the road racing world action fund there is no way to know what track its going to unless you specify itnoobinacan;212532 wrote: So if we're talking about actually doing work....

omg you aint lying, i chained the bike down so it wouldnt float away....a simple ditch on the west side of the building with a grate over it would help out with that, then we just need to put any tents back there on pontoons.j_fuggin_t;212528 wrote: old tech shed as well!! i've never seen that much water that fast

don't hurt yourself!
since Nesba isn't the only organisation / place that discusses the issue...
CCSforum.com
CLSB .... start reading on the bottom of the first page / second page
and I bet there are more,.... and will be more before something changes.

That's generous and I'm sure you're in ernest BUT,most of us are probably a little naive as to what we're actually talking about here...we're talking environmental issues,conservation issues,politics,zoneing issues dollars to doughnuts we're talking at least 1.5 million for the whole shebang which is about half the value of the whole property...I bet just the berms and the walls would be about a half a mil..the turtle creek bridge thingy was 80 grand...the good news is turns one and seven are slated to get re-paved Nov. 1st so they'll cure nicley for next year....by the way I am not with management,or am employed nor do i reresent or speak for BHF...just a rider that loves our little track...

i think you're saying the same thing..as I'm saying. donations for NESBA air fence.
cause the RRW action fund money goes towards putting up air fences for racers and races. and not for trackdays, correct ?
Why can't we just pitch in and buy our own air fence..for track day use.

It is called the "Nesba Blackhawk Farms Chili Cook-Off", every penny of which goes to Blackhawk Farms Airfence.
We, as a group, specify that it is to be used by ANY and ALL organizations that ride motorcycles at BFR. Prior to this year we had collected over $25,000.00 of which EVERY PENNY has gone toward Airfence for BFR. This year we set a new record and collected a bunch more. Details when the final check rolls in.
There are 7 sections due to be delivered this week from last years CCO, and a sizeable check will find it's way there later this week for more.
Nesbians ROCK!:adore:
