Re: KRNV News about RARA

I will just say this briefly, if you want the assurance of recourse in case of a cancellation, buy tickets with a credit card. I will admit that I have not read the "fine print" of ticket sales but I thought it was worth mentioning as credit cards (not debit) do allow some guarantees.

Now back to all of the POSITIVE thoughts of Reno 2012!!!!!!!!

Re: KRNV News about RARA

Simple question. Those that have purchased race tickets, hotel rooms, airline tickets in advance and those planning on going at the last moment, would you rather know in advance, what RARA knows about what happens to the races if the insurance money that they need is insufficient, or would you rather not know?

In other words, do you want to be kept informed with important details, or would you rather not know? My guess, is that people want to know, in advance, what's going on.

Re: KRNV News about RARA

I'm hoping that this is a contribution by the casinos/hotels. The air race events are probably the biggest time of the year for them, filling rooms AND drawing more people to casinos in the evenings. it would be good business sense for them to help keep it alive.


Fingers crossed

The casinos won't be kicking in much if at all.Indian gaming kicking their butts.Ones in chapter 11 and two others might still be or just getting out.
As far as some wealthy guy giving up some cash,I don't think so.There is not much of a return on the investment.Most importantly,the libility factor is there.Who wants to spend thousands,possibly millions on defending yourself in court if there is another accident.You were just the guy that donated a ton of money and now you have to defend yourself in court for being a nice guy?
Some of you guys sound like the current administration in Wash D.C.Let the rich pick up the tab for your troubles so that you can have an enjoyable life.Let the watch maker come through will more cash.They seem to be happy year after year or until someone tries to get into their pockets after and accident.

LOL, ummm there is no choice when the gubbamint decides you have to pay, a donation is 100% choice. I have given all I can afford at the moment, I will be donating more trust me. If some rich person CHOSES to write a check then they can do that. I bet if they do chose to write that check it will be because they to understand the history involved at the NCAR. Funny you would try to make it sound like we are all begging people to support our addictions and you can bet your sweet bippy if I had the money I would write that check in a second. I must also say thank you for stepping up and speaking for all the wealthy people out there, your awesome mate
One last thing, even in california you cant be sued for making a donation.

Two Words: RED BULL!

Shoot I figure they owe us one for that other air racing thing. Besides I promise to drink Red Bull and wear their shirts all week long. Maybe they could drop by with White Lighting as well......

Ummmmmm, WRONG! They're kicking in over a half million, and no, indian gaming is not kicking their butts. The Nevada casinos are still the one and only "hard core" gaming facilities where high rollers can make(or lose) serious money. Indian casinos only offer limited gaming for the "casual" gambler, and the pay is more nickel and dime.

Re: KRNV News about RARA

Your partly right T. Indian gambling has hurt here as the casual or small stakes gambler stays closer to home, and with the shows they are hosting there is some serious draw from Reno's numbers. The high stakes still come here and though I have never been in an Indian Casino most I talk to say the winnings are horrible in them.
The biggest drop in gaming and services in Reno is due to the economy pure and simple. Reno is a destination town in that people come here for the whole package, events, concerts, rooms and gaming. They just can't afford it like before.
Reno has had more small events sponsered by casino's this year than I have seen before, weekend festivals, trying to get the people downtown and they are in the middle of reconstructing most of the downtown areas.
Not just individuals but conventions have dropped as groups economize.
The casino's know where their money comes from and I think when all is said and done they will have done their part.

Re: KRNV News about RARA

For all those people who have made donations, what will happen to your donation if RARA does NOT reach it's goal for the insurance money and the races cancelled? Would you expect or want your donation returned or would you want RARA to keep it?

[lowpasskid]

Re: KRNV News about RARA

donated to keep the Bear flying=win
donated to get Lefty's P38 back flying=loss
will donate and keep fingers crossed, it's Reno after all!
would not expect nor ask for a refund if it does not happen.

I wont ask for a refund at all. But being a glass half full man I know they will happen. Here is my speculation of how I think it will happen. About a week before sept 1 Mike Houghton will get a phone call asking how much he has recieved, then said person on the other end will top up the fund. I cant see it happening anyother way.
