Thanks 80-85 husky, we need more people putting on their thinking caps.
A philanthropic supporter would be the ultimate, maybe a first for motorcycling? It happens for libraries, public buildings, sporting grounds etc, just wish it could happen in our sport when special opportunities like this come around. We are beyond any sort of commercial venture, been there and done that - that's why MA got involved in the first place $$

If Barrabool continues it can only be as a club concern running the occasional special events and smaller scale stuff - which is still extremely important for the sport locally seeing as the Geelong regions 300,000 now have no legal facility whatsoever. If we keep Barrabool, the sport gets paid back bigtime.
On another slant - people actually seek out and buy properties next to golf courses just to get their back yards filled with golf balls, what could be better than owning some of the best real estate in the land right next door to a motorbike track? Awesome!
Crowd funding could also be a winner if we had time. What should happen there is MA could sell 2 blocks (to motorcycle friendly buyers), pay its debt and then give the club time to raise more cash. Would be no skin off MA's nose to do that as the gov funding (which must be given back anyway if sold) would mostly cover the $$$ needed - just sayin'. . .
Barrabool was called the Phillip Island of MX - yet here 'we' are letting it go when the argument for it continuing is solid. Words fail me . . . . . .
