I find this thread interesting...I'd like to offer some ideas

Figure a cost for everything as close you can...go cheap on construction for any stands (bleachers), and concessions (cheap booths), you can always upgrade later, and offer local businesses space to setup small concessions and whatnot for a fee

When you consult area businesses about sponsorship, let them know the entire plan...ie: total cost, and who you have backing you thus far, it might help sell the idea.......I'd think of it as selling a product, you basically are, and they need to see a benefit in it for them.....let other businesses throw up advertisements around the grounds for fees, that will help with money as well

Think about a sandtrap at the end, for safety...many tracks have them, and it well help sell the idea and make insurance cheaper the more safety features there are


you guys may have thought of some of these already, i just wanted to throw out what popped into my head

good luck
