Hot News From QCR
Over the last few days QCR has been approached by a group of racers looking to purchase Quaker City Raceway. This is great news for the racers in the area but there is still a ways to go before racing can resume at QCR. The group has serious investment behind them but more investment is required. Would you like to own a piece of Quaker City Raceway? On May 8th @ 7:30 pm a meeting will be held at the dragstrip for SERIOUS INVESTORS ONLY so come along and help preserve a racing heritage. Pending the outcome of the meeting, the track may be open soon.
Anyone know what they’re doing? Floating a bond, obtaining JV with another racetrack, finding VC or approaching a bank for moolah?
I’d love to know the terms of the investment. I guess if nobody’s called/will say here, I will and report back their proposed terms.
please god no more prp.
I haven’t heard anything new on the ownership of the track, but I’ll definitly be attending the June 22-24 meet.
That track is the biggest piece of shit I have ever been to…
The meeting failed. I was approached by Mark Mazzant about becoming an investor. You know, Because everyone has $10k lying around for fun.
I heard it was a little more than that 
How much was the base amount they were looking for? They’d have had a better chance of floating 1000 CCC bond at 8% coupon and $1000 face value than approaching 10 people and asking for 100K each.
I was told $10k. I’ve also heard $20k and $40k, But I guess it just depends on how much ownership you want of the track.
