Approval in hand, Auernheimer approac he d 250cc Ama teur class rider Greg Bartzen in April abo ut design in g and coordinating th e p roject. Bartzen , a pool builder by trade, is an active env ironmentalist from Sedona, Arizona, and agreed to help out.

Ran ger Streeper estimated the cost of donated ma terials and " labor to be between .$40,000 and $50,000. When asked if th ese structures were a political coo kie to carry th e favor of th e Forestry Service, Ranger Streeper replied amp hatica lly , " No way. Whe ther or not Phil gets h is permit to run hi s race ha s nothing to do with what's go ing on today. These people are here because they 're concerned with th e enviro n m en t. They ma y have so me more muscles when they go home tonight but they'll have a good feeli ng in their hear t from w hat th ey've accompl ish ed."
