What is the latest on the Friday track event?

Here is the track update:
Today, 4/17, Michael Dietel (general manager, Pro Control Driving School), and myself went to Reno-Fernley Track to meet with the operating management, and inspect the track. Michael and his instructors will be running our track day, so he has the “final” say in track matters.
Our (Michael’s) conclusions:
After driving several laps around the track, we felt that the course we will be running is in “good” shape-no surface is perfect, and more than adequate for our purpose. We will be running the H course. We also checked for adequate “instructional” areas for the novices. This also was fine. BOTTOM LINE, the track is ready for us.
Pro Control will be running the event. We will be sending out a questionnaire to the participants in order to determine “capabilities”, allowing us to determine the right mix of instructors/classes in order to cover everyone’s needs.
We will have instructors, flaggers, emergency personnel, etc. Tech inspection will be Thursday.
The Cost: I have been told by both the track management and the driving school, that normally they would be charging $395-450 per person. What we are trying to do is to have 50 drivers @ $150.00 each, which would cover costs. The faster you sign up, the better we can plan the event. This is a great opportunity to get some instruction in, some track time, and some bragging rights, at a very reasonable price.

From what I've seen so far, he has not been too forthcoming with that information. According to post #11, he will provide something if you request via e-mail.

so far we have 31 registrations. there are at least 50 people who have said they are coming, but haven't sent in their reg. we have been getting 3-4 per day in the mail lately. we also have sent out around 40 registration applications in the last week, since we announced the may 10 deadline.
i decided to put on this event as a "service" to you car owners. i have been getting comments that hint that i'm trying to pull a fast one. this is not the case, and anyone who knows me, can vouch for my integrity. in matter of fact, i have not spent anyones money yet, it's all been my own. i've stuck my neck out, putting up non-refundable deposits. not only that, i've put in around 500 hours on this event, and am spending about 6 hours per day on it now.
if we do not get enough registrations by the may 10 cutoff date, we will call off the event, and return everyones money.
IF you guys want this event to happen, then get your registrations in NOW. it's very hard to plan stuff when people "are going to send in their money".
