I'm happy to see discussion going on here and opinions being shared. I just joined the club and got my license which was a great event. I plan to be out for many more ! I've used GMP for many years being involved with drag racing.
Few things need to happen to bring out people to participate. We have an untapped market in Winnipeg and Gimli would reap benefits and so would every other user or customer of the park.
Track needs to be repaved and ear marked for expansion / multiple track setups.
Grounds need to be modernized and setup for an attraction to draw in people. There is alot of concrete that can be used to various events other than racing to bring in crowds.
Need to have Gimli become an experience destination. Ability to rent cars and race set amount of laps with instructor in car will bring tourism and open up the sport for those thinking about trying it.
Partner with dealerships to host more events. AMG Driving academy, BMW, Porsche, etc. Great exposure for brand and potential for customer to really demo that sports car.
WSCC if not running this type of facility needs to still stay involved. The relationship between Castrol Raceway and NASSC being similar model. I'd actually like to see WSCC "run" the day to day of the park with GMP staying as the owner and providing direction for capital investment plans.
