RED ZINGER RACES:
Chamber of Commerce Manager Jim Ranglos explained the reasons for the
Chamber not hosting the Red Zinger race in Estes Park this summer. The
main reason is that the race would have to take place in late July or
early August rather than in June as promised by Red Zinger officials
last year. Other reasons include an initial cost of $5,000 and the
difficulty encountered by the Chamber of Commerce last year in working
with the race officials.
Bob Ferguson, Steve Patrick, Lois Schmidt, and Doug Bruinsma commented
pro and con on last year's race and on the value of continuing the race
in Estes Park. Jim Ranglos stated that he believed most objections
center around the proposed dates occurring during the busiest time of
the tourist season and perhaps the races could be hosted in future years
during the month of June.
It was suggested and the Committee encouraged the Chamber of Commerce
to negotiate with Red Zinger officials to hold the races in Estes Park
this summer but to use a different race course which would not interfere
with downtown traffic and shopping.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
