Bergrennenring Owners Blog

As I sit here this fine Sunday watching Indy Car Racing on NETWORK television live fromáWatkins Glen, NY, I am also reading a very telling article in the Wall Street Journal. Also located in New York a new touring courseáis being built for the discrimating driver.

Called the “Drive and Race Club”,”the facility is being built at a time when well-heeled baby boomers have been buying expensive, high-performance automobiles capable of race-car speeds.”

This has been our underlying premise all along for the building of The Bergrennenring in the Texas Hill Country. We are bringing a Motorsports Resort to the area so that passions can be fulfilled and there is a destination component that will bring in others to enjoy the area.

Here are some highlights from the article –

• Located in Monticello, NY (Catskill Mts)
• 80 miles NW of NYC.
• Expected cost $50MM
• Scheduled to open in 2008
• Initiation fees of $100,000
• Annual dues of $7,500
• Cap of ~750 members (100 already signed up)
• 225 acres of rolling hills

The B-Ring will deliver an equivalent experience. Interestingly, we will do so charging less for initiation and dues because we can realize cost savings based on location - Central Texas is more conducive for land and construction costs. Also, by working with local government, we will realize tax benefits and infrastructure improvements that will translate into lower operating costs. Ultimately this will benefit the members.

We will be interested in any comments about this, either by registering here and posting directly or sending us an e-mail to info@bergrennenring.com.
