A visitor is defined as a user of the park, it does not include guests of visitors. Additionally, memberships are projected to be at 77 in year one and exceed 400 total by year five.

“The market suggests ORMP will support 170 events in year one — this includes High Performance Driving Education events like Chin Track Days, to corporate team building events, karting school, automotive OEM track rental,” the release stated. Shannon Harper, president of Harper Auto Square has confirmed he will use the ORMP for Harper’s Porsche Driver Experience events, the news release stated.

I remain cautiously optimistic.
