DODGE CITY - Increasing the amount of public money injected into Dodge City Raceway Park would potentially double the economic impact it has on the city, according to an analysis of two funding scenarios.
Granting raceway operator Mike Mathis a $315,000 subsidy for 2006, as he seeks, would produce a total economic impact of $7.1 million, according to the analysis, completed by Joann Knight of the Ford County Development Corp. Granting Mathis only $162,000, as called for in his current contract with the city, would have a $3.64 million impact, as measured by such things as ticket sales and lodging and meals purchased by race fans outside the oval.
The totals might be inflated,...............

Using Joann's one-to-twenty factor ($315,000 X 20 ='s approximately $7,100,000) I propose that DodgeBoard apply for $315,000.00 whole US Dollars and we pass the money around among ourselves like they say our TAX money will go around. Purdy soon it will look like we spent $7 MILLION whole
[imaginary] US Dollars too.
One thing though,,, since it was my idea, I get to be at the end of the pass-around line...
