I'll throw up the first $100 
not that it will help any, but maybe if there were thousands willing to donate.

well lets see$100 + $100 = Do we have any accountants to help me with the math?
That's $150 after your commission.$100 + $100 = Do we have any accountants to help me with the math?
You mean $50... $150 IS my commission. lolThat's $150 after your commission.
THANK YOU.. finally a serious answer.Hmmm, donations I prefer to give to those who actually need them (rather than for my own personal selfish needs), and I only make investments in things that I could expect a return. I would never expect a racetrack in BC to turn a profit.
In other words, I want one...but someone else is going to have to pay for it.
Ok, if I were to think about this more realistically...
If there were a guaruntee that the track were to get built (so my money wouldn't be sitting in trust for 5 years waiting for additional financing to be organized) and I would be guarunteed that I could ride there for the next 15-20 years without it being closed down (due to noise or polution issues), then I would be willing to "donate" maybe $1000-$2000. That's only $100/yr, assuming I ride track for the next 10-20 years.
It doesn't have to be a "world class" facility either. I would be more than happy to settle for something at the level of Spokane or Seattle, with some better safety measures in place.
You'd think it would be no big deal to have a half decent road course somewhere around here. It's easier to get permission to have a landfill site than it is to have a race track.It doesn't have to be a "world class" facility either.

Actually, adam112 told me what you were really looking for:This is more what I'm looking for guys.
Well, Mission's not much more than a landfill...that may have been how they got their permit in the first place.It's easier to get permission to have a landfill site than it is to have a race track.
Ouch Harps, very ouch...
Could be just the old ramblings and rumours of the club but SUPPOSEDLY the GVRD had commited to paying X million to help build a racetrack provided it was within an hour downtown.
On the subject of a new track, it would depend on when you wanted the money. Now I would give $500. 2010 - likely $5-10K. For me to pay anything it would need to be within 2 hours of Vancouver, or say as far as Chilliiwack. It would need power, running water, RV hookups and a decent length. That's as world class as we really need.
