Eventually both are planned but it's like a few years out. Will depend on demand.

As a member, you also get at least one high performance driving school per year. And free entry to members time attack, auto cross, and race events. So, even more value.

Not necessarily. Think of member dues like condo fees. They can stay static depending on things like reserve funds. They may go up, but likely won’t be linked to as inflation as much as regular daily...

The availability of your days will be guarantee in the purchase contract. Every member type will be guaranteed a certain number of weekends and weekdays in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. The details...

So just to compare the situations:

1. Scenario 1 - Pay the walk-on rate

7 days a year over a 10 year period:
Lets say a day costs $275 to start (just an example, we haven't determined the...

Of course, there will be plenty of access to non-members. Open lapping, driving schools, club rentals, competitive events put on by other clubs, etc.

No. But there could be some discounts before. :)

Technically with a $12500 membership you could get in 16 free track days from May 1st to Aug 31st, so yeah about one per week.

To answer the question above:

We didn't get into the details of the resort aspect at the presentation, because the focus was in memberships.

Since 2015, we have had tremendous support from the...

My apologies for the long absence from the last update.

The major reason is we don't have much to update. Everything we need to do to proceed has been completed on our part. But we are dealing...

Yes,

However, the way developments (or anything really, like a manufacturer introducing a new car) are usually done is they actually start developing it and confirming it can get built before...

That is the target, as well as having financing packages available so they are even more affordable and way cheaper in the long run than doing pay per session events through groups that rent out the...

We are hoping for mid to late spring for memberships, but there are still issues beyond our control that affect the timeline.

The Lotus uses the tranny out of a FWD Celica GTS. It wasn't designed for a RWD mid engine application, and then launching it at 5000rpm with a clutch drop on Hoosiers is just way out of what the...

At Badlands it's not just about allowing bikes, but making sure from the outset the tracks are safe and accomodating for bikes as its expected they would be a high percentage of the users.

I'm pretty sure this exact info was posted here in the Badlands thread but that has gotten so long I can't find it there:

Also, we certainly would be hosting events, and the spectator areas would more than sufficient capacity and allow great views off both tracks, but it would be incorporated into the architecture to...

Badlands will be a semi-private facility. At least one track would be rented out per day. If you are going to do multiple days per year regularly, it actually will be cheaper in the long run to be a...

Today after the public hearing, we are happy to announce that the second reading for the rezoning bylaw passed.

The 3rd and final reading will likely be after Jan 1st due to the Xmas break.

Best case scenario would be about 7-8 months to get the Development Permits, construction starting 3rd quarter 2014, and at least one of the tracks opening 3rd quarter 2015.

Here's an update finally :)

This is mostly correct.

Yes, council passed the Area Structure Plan final reading this morning and now the Badlands Motorsport Resort is an approved Bylaw in the county of Kneehill.
