SUMMARY
Del Cerro Enterprises, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on March 10, 1999 for the
purpose of developing a high performance driving school in conjunction with
annual nationwide open road races.
We received our initial funding through the sale of common stock to investors
from the period of approximately March 15, 1999 until March 31, 1999. We offered
and sold 59,000 common stock shares at $0.10 per share to non-affiliated private
investors. From inception until the date of this filing we have had no material
operating activities.
OFFERING
Securities Being Offered Up to 4,189,000 shares of common stock.
Securities Issued
And to be Issued 8,449,000 shares of common
stock were issued and outstanding as of the
date of this prospectus.
Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds
from the sale of the common stock by the
selling shareholders.

RISK FACTORS
Investors in Del Cerro should be particularly aware of the inherent risks
associated with the company's business plan. These risks include but are not
limited to:
WE ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE OF OUR BUSINESS. DEL CERRO HAS NO OPERATING
HISTORY, NO MATERIAL CURRENT OPERATIONS, AND NO PROFITS. AT THIS STAGE OF OUR
BUSINESS PLAN, EVEN WITH OUR GOOD FAITH EFFORTS, OUR SHAREHOLDERS ARE ACCEPTING
A HIGH PROBABILITY OF LOSING THEIR INVESTMENT.
While we fully intend to meet our goals per our business plan, our plan
may not work. In such a scenario, we could remain as a start-up company
with no material operations, revenues, or profits. Although management
has been successful in planning and operating other auto racing
businesses and events and believes their plan for Del Cerro will
generate revenue and profit, there is no guarantee their past
experiences will provide Del Cerro with similar future successes.
OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY REQUIRES US TO RAISE FUNDS OF $2,500,000 THROUGH A PRIVATE
PLACEMENT. WITHOUT FUNDING, WE COULD REMAIN AS A START-UP COMPANY WITH NO
MATERIAL OPERATIONS, REVENUES, OR PROFITS.
Although we intend to implement our business plan through the
foreseeable future and will do our best to mitigate the risks associated
with the business plan, there can be no assurance that our efforts will
be successful. Depending upon the amount of additional funding we
receive, we may be only partially successful or completely unsuccessful
in implementing our business plan, and our shareholders may lose part or
all of their investment.
OUR COMPETITORS ARE WELL-ESTABLISHED AND HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER FINANCIAL,
MARKETING, PERSONNEL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN WE DO. SHOULD WE BE UNABLE TO
ACHIEVE ENOUGH CUSTOMER MARKET SHARE IN OUR INDUSTRY, WE MAY EXPERIENCE LESS
REVENUE THAN ANTICIPATED AND A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN OUR PROFIT.
We plan to capitalize on our management's contacts in auto racing and
name recognition among competition drivers and auto racing fans. While
we believe we will be able to successfully compete against other similar
auto racing companies, there is no assurance we will be successful in
attracting enough competition drivers and auto racing fans to be a
competitive force in our industry.
THE CURRENT OFFICERS, RODGER WARD AND SHERRIE WARD, ARE THE SOLE OFFICERS AND
DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, AND AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ARE INVOLVED IN OTHER
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. DEL CERRO'S NEEDS FOR THEIR TIME AND SERVICES COULD
CONFLICT WITH THEIR OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. THIS POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST COULD RESULT IN THEIR INABILITY TO PROPERLY MANAGE DEL CERRO'S AFFAIRS,
RESULTING IN DEL CERRO REMAINING A START-UP COMPANY WITH NO MATERIAL OPERATIONS,
REVENUES, OR PROFITS.
We have not formulated a plan to resolve any possible conflicts that may
arise. While Del
6
7
Cerro and its officers and directors have not formally adopted a plan to
resolve any potential or actual conflicts of interest that exist or that
may arise, they have verbally agreed to limit their roles in all other
business activities to roles of passive investors and devote full time
services to Del Cerro after we raise capital of $2,500,000 through the
sale of securities through a private placement and are able to provide
officers' salaries per our business plan.
THERE IS NO CURRENT PUBLIC MARKET FOR DEL CERRO'S SECURITIES. WE HAVE NO CURRENT
PUBLIC OFFERING AND NO PROPOSED PUBLIC OFFERING OF OUR EQUITY. AS OUR STOCK IS
NOT PUBLICLY TRADED, INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THEY PROBABLY WILL BE UNABLE TO
SELL THEIR SHARES AND THEIR INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES IS NOT LIQUID.
We plan to file for trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board which
is sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, the
NASD. While this could create liquidity for our shareholders through
public trading by securities dealers, we do not know when we will be
able to file for trading, and there is no guarantee of trading volume or
trading price levels sufficient for investors to sell their stock,
recover their investment in our stock, or profit from the sale of their
stock.
IF THE COMPANY BECOMES LISTED FOR TRADING ON THE OTC ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD
THE TRADING IN THE COMPANY'S SHARES MAY BE REGULATED BY SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15g-9 establishes the
definition of a "penny stock", for the purposes relevant to the Company,
as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a
person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker
or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock
to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions
in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial
information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii)
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver,
prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule
prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in
highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer
made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer
received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the
transaction.
The effective result of this Rule 15g-9, is that if the share price is
below $5.00 there will be less purchasers qualified by their brokers to
purchase shares of the company, and therefore a less liquid market for
the securities.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect",
"future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking
7
8
statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements
contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the
date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the
risks faced by us as described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in
this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered
through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We will not determine the offering price of the common stock. The offering price
will be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the
selling shareholders. See section entitled "Selling Shareholders".
DILUTION
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is
currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly there will be no dilution to our
existing shareholders.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We
currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of
the business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the
4,189,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. The shares
include the following:
1. 59,000 shares of our common stock that the selling shareholders acquired
from us in an offering that was exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) as amended of the Securities Act of 1933 and completed on
March 31, 1999; and
2. 4,130,000 shared of our common stock that the selling shareholders
received pursuant to an 71 for 1 forward stock split executed March 15,
2000.
The following table provides as of November 15, 2000, information regarding the
beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the selling
shareholders, including:
1. The number of shares owned by each prior to this offering;
2. The total number of shares that are to be offered for each;
3. The total number of shares that will be owned by each upon completion of
the offering;
4. The percentage owned by each; and
8
9
5. The identity of the beneficial holder of any entity that owns the
shares.
To the best of our knowledge, the named parties in the table that follows are
the beneficial owners and have the sole voting and investment power over all
shares or rights to the shares reported. In addition, the table assumes that the
selling shareholders do not sell shares of common stock not being offered
through this prospectus and do not purchase additional shares of common stock.
The column reporting the percentage owned upon completion assumes that all
shares offered are sold, and is calculated based on 4,189,000 shares outstanding
on November 15, 2000.

To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders:
1. Has had a material relationship with Del Cerro Enterprises other than as
a shareholder as noted above at any time within the past three years; or
2. Has ever been an officer or director of Del Cerro Enterprises.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders have not informed us of how they plan to sell their
shares. However, they may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more
transactions, including block transactions:
1. on such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to
time be trading;
2. in privately negotiated transactions;
3. through the writing of options on the common stock;
4. in short sales; or
5. in any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public may be:
1. the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
2. a price related to such prevailing market price; or
3. such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to
time.
10
11
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers
acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the
common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such
transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders,
or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such
purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary
brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling
shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per
share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as
agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares
at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment
to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals
may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market
or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with
such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such
shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may
involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the
selling shareholders also may have distributed, or may distribute, shares to one
or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in
turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance
that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling
shareholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. Any
commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any
sale of the common stock, however, will be borne by the selling shareholders or
other party selling the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the offer and sale of their
common stock. In particular, during times that the selling shareholders may be
deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be
considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may,
among other things:
1. not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common
stock;
2. furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered,
such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be
required by such broker or dealer; and
3. not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any
person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under
the Securities Exchange Act.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Del Cerro's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000
shares of common stock, .001 par value per share. There is no preferred stock
authorized. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each
share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock
have cumulative voting rights. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to
share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared, from time to time by the
board of directors in its discretion, from funds legally available therefore. In
the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the company, the
holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets
remaining after payment in full of all liabilities. Holders of common stock have
no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights
or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares.
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified
any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the
securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the
registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency
basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial
interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant. Nor was any such person
connected with the registrant as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter,
voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
Jennifer Pulver, our independent counsel, has provided an opinion on the
validity of our common stock.
SECURITIES ACT INDEMNIFICATION DISCLOSURE
Del Cerro's By-Laws allow for the indemnification of company officers and
directors in regard to their carrying out the duties of their offices. We have
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or other controlling
persons in connection with the securities registered, we will, unless in the
opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public
policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the
court's decision.

will emphasize techniques, racing lines, equipment preparation, technical
inspections and safety procedures. For those participating in the open road
races, sessions will also be offered to cover timing, driver/navigator team
participation, pre-run videos and detailed course notes. Track time will be an
intensive series of slalom, braking and downshifting exercises that give the
participant the opportunity to utilize the techniques and skills discussed in
the classroom in a systematic and controlled environment. Additional track time
will allow the instructor to critique the racer's skill application in a series
of lapping sessions at progressively higher speeds, utilizing radio
communication between instructor and student.
We will initially focus on the participants in the three established open road
races organized by Rodger Ward's Classic Auto Racing Society:
Big Bend Open Road Race
US Highway 285, Fort Stockton - Sanderson - Ft. Stockton, Texas. 120
mile "boomerang" event held each April.
Gambler's Run Twin 50's
Nevada State Route 225, Elko - Wild Horse - Elko, Nevada. 100 mile
"boomerang" event held each June.
Pony Express Open Road Race
Nevada State Route 305, Battle Mountain - Austin, Nevada. 84 mile event
held each September.
15
16
Open Road Races are conducted on a section of State or Federal Highway,
generally 50 miles or more in length. The participants race the entire distance
at a target speed that they have qualified for based upon the tech speed of
their vehicle. The cars are started in a staggered format with the faster cars
starting first at two to three minute intervals. There is virtually no passing
and no wheel to wheel competition. Participants are required to show proof of
completion of an approved high speed driving course. Awards are given to
participants who come closest to averaging their target speed. Speed divisions
are differentiated by vehicle safety equipment and driver's racing experience -
Touring: 95-110mph, Grand Touring: 115-130mph, Grand Sport: 135-160mph, Super
Sport: 170-180mph, and Unlimited: 180+ mph.
Utilizing management's experience in and knowledge of the motorsport industry,
we plan to conduct multi-day courses at a selection of the more than 25 road
courses located in the states surrounding the open road races. While the company
has not begun race track rental discussions or signed rental agreements with any
course to date, management has identified primary race track facilities that may
include:
Arizona
Firebird Intl. Raceway Chandler 1.6 mile
Phoenix Intl. Raceway Mesa 1.51 mile
California
Holtville Raceway Holtville 1.43 mile
Buttonwillow Raceway Buttonwillow 3 mile
Laguna Seca Monterey 2.24 mile
Sears Point Raceway Sonoma 2.52 mile
Willow Springs Motorsports Park Rosamond 2.5 mile
Colorado
Pueblo Motorsports Park Pueblo 2.2 mile
Aspen Sports Car Club Woody Creek 1.1 mile
LaJunta Raceway LaJunta 1.6 mile
Mountain View Motor Sport Park Mead 1.8 mile
Pikes Peak Intl Raceway Fountain 1.3 mile
Second Creek Raceway Denver 1.7 mile
Nevada
Las Vegas Motor Speedway Las Vegas 2.5 mile
Reno-Fernley Raceway Fernley 15 mile
Texas
Cabaniss N.A.S. Corpus Cristi 2.6 mile
Texas Motor Speedway Fort Worth 2.5 mile
Texas World Speedway College Stn. 3.1 mile
Abilene Municipal Airport Abilene 1.7 mile
Oak Hill Raceway Henderson 1.8 mile
16
17
Courses for those not participating in the open road races will also be offered.
These may include High Performance Driving - a course combining advanced street
driving skills with techniques refined through years on the racetrack; Highway
Survival Training - emphasizing defensive driving skills and elements of car
control such as accident avoidance, skid control and high-speed braking; and
Teenage Defensive Driving - teaching teens skills such as accident avoidance,
skid control, advanced braking and ABS techniques.
Management is familiar with the operating procedures and rental availability of
all of the racing facilities for planned use in the company's road course racing
and driving instruction. These facilities are available throughout the year on
rental schedules. However, if scheduling conflicts arise at these facilities,
management believes they will be able to arrange rental dates at alternate
suitable racing facilities as there are eighteen race tracks in Arizona, ninety
in California, twenty-four in Colorado, twenty-two in Nevada, and eighty-eight
in Texas. Management is confident, based upon prior experience, that they will
be able to secure rental racing facilities at either primary or alternate race
courses suitable for the company's planned multi-day driving and instructions
courses.
In management's opinion and experience the popularity of open road racing is
increasing along with other forms of motorsport. Open road racing had it's
beginnings in the 19th century and experienced a revival in the years following
World War II. In recent years the number and types of open road races have
increased including a new motorsports sanctioning body, the Grand American Road
Racing Association.
The company's business plan proposes to utilize its founders' backgrounds to
develop its racing school. The business plan requires we, during the first six
months, raise capital of $2,500,000 through the sale of common stock in a
private placement. After raising the projected capital, we have a planned budget
for months seven through twelve of $957,000 for development of its school to
include $215,000 for five track vehicles and one pre-run van, $240,000 for one
equipment hauler, $80,000 for two full-time instructors, $30,000 for temporary
track personnel, $180,000 for facility rentals - including insurance and safety
personnel, $25,000 for one marketing manager, $17,000 for one office staff
assistant, $25,000 for purchase of computers and fixed assets, $75,000 for
advertising, $20,000 for travel expenses, and $50,000 for rent and other
operating expenses. In addition, based upon management's experience and the
company's business plan, the company will budget approximately $60,000 per year
for property and injury insurance coverage of $5,000,000. Management believes
this level of insurance is adequate as race track facilities include insurance
coverage in their rental rates, and all driving participants will be required to
sign property damage and injury disclaimers related to the inherent risks in
high speed driving activities.
There are no assurances that the company's planned sale of $2,500,000 of common
stock will be successful. If no funding is received during the next twelve
months, we will be forced to rely on its existing cash in the bank and funds
loaned by the directors and officers. The officers and directors have no formal
commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the company. In such a
restricted cash flow scenario, we would be unable to complete our business plan
steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without
necessary cash flow, we may be dormant during the next twelve months, or until
such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.

DISTRIBUTION METHODS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
For the first two years of our business plan, we plan to advertise the driving
school through our directors' web site, www.openroadracing.com. In addition, we
plan to advertise in publications, such as AutoWeek, AutoRacingDigest, and
Grassroots Motorsports, maintain links on Internet web pages such as
racingschools.com, TheRaceNet.com, and RacingPress.com. Ads in local newspapers
and track publications surrounding the open road races may be placed prior to
each event. Sponsorships for drivers in local events may also be considered.
PLANNED NEW PRODUCT OR SERVICE
Del Cerro has no new product or service planned or announced to the public.
COMPETITION AND COMPETITIVE POSITION
The size and financial strength of our primary competitors, The Bondurant
School, Richard Petty Driving Experience and Skip Barber Racing School are
substantially greater than those of the company. In examining major competitors,
we have concluded none offer a driving school in conjunction with a competitive
open road race. The Bondurant and Barber racing schools target the amateur and
professional race car driver seeking to improve specific areas of their driving
and racing techniques. The Petty Driving Experience targets racing enthusiasts
with programs designed to provide them the opportunity to drive a race car in a
controlled environment. However, the company's competitors have longer operating
histories, larger customer bases, and greater brand recognition than Del Cerro.
We are not aware of any significant barriers to our entry into the motorsport
market, however, at this time we have no market share of this market.
SUPPLIERS AND SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS
Management will rely on their combined experience and knowledge in the auto
racing business to arrange for the acquisition of vehicles for the racing
school. We plan to utilize road race chassis builders to design and assemble our
vehicles and purchase engines from motorsport engine builders to be installed in
the cars. While we have no current contracts with chassis or engine builders,
management is aware of chassis builders such as Neely Motorsports,
Hutcherson-Pagan Enterprises and S&W Race Cars, and engine builders such as
Gustaf Engine & Machine, Draime Racing Engines and Skip Govia Motorsports, Inc.
Miscellaneous parts and safety equipment are available from many suppliers such
as Trac Dynamics, Simpson Racing, BSR Products and Port City Racing. Management
is also aware of opportunities to purchase turnkey vehicles from professional
race teams at auctions held annually throughout the U.S. and will consider the
most cost-efficient means for the acquisition of the vehicles while meeting all
safety specifications. We plan to enter into agreements with chassis and engine
builders per our business plan after raising capital during the first six months
of the plan.
DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS
We will not depend on any one or a few major customers. Our target market is the
millions of auto
18
19
racing fans and competition drivers in the U.S. There are currently 1,585 race
tracks located in the United States, 286 of those located in the states
surrounding the road races organized by Del Cerro's Directors.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS, LABOR
CONTRACTS
We have no current plans for any registrations such as patents, trademarks,
copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. When
we have sufficient funding, management will seek legal counsel to determine if
any registrations would be in the best interests of the company.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
We are not required to apply for or have any government approval for our
products or services. Open Road Races are organized with State or Federal
Highway officials allowing promoters to shut down a designated section of
highway for a period of 8 to 10 hours. Drivers participating in the school will
be required to show a valid state, military or international driver's license.
EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS ON THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS
Del Cerro's business is not subject to material regulation by federal
governmental agencies. We will be required to meet all state and local safety
standards for the vehicles used in our driving schools. Management personnel are
familiar with all state and local safety requirements based on their experience
operating open road racing events.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS
We have not expended funds for research and development costs since inception.
COSTS AND EFFECTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
We have not expended any funds for compliance with environmental laws and do not
anticipate our business plan will encompass any such compliance requirements.
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
Del Cerro's only current employees are its two officers who will devote as much
time as the board of directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of
the company. The officers intend to work on a full-time basis when the company
raises capital per its business plan. The business plan calls for hiring four
new full time employees during the next twelve months.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
We provide an annual report that includes our financial information to our
shareholders. We make our financial information equally available to any
interested parties or investors through compliance
19
20
with the disclosure rules of Regulation S-B for a small business issuer under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Del Cerro became subject to disclosure
filing requirements effective July 18, 2000, was cleared of all comments on May
25, 2000, and is current in its required filings, including Form 10-KSB annually
and Form 10-QSB quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8 and other proxy and
information statements from time to time as required. We do not intend to
voluntarily file the above reports in the event our obligation to file such
reports is suspended under the Exchange Act.
The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth
Street NW, Washington D. C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the
operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The
SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy
and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file
electronically with the SEC.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our current cash balance is $777. Management believes the current cash balance
is sufficient to fund the current minimum level of operations through the third
quarter of 2001, however, in order to advance the business plan we must raise
capital through the sale of equity securities. We are a development stage
company and have generated no revenue to date. We have sold $5,900 in equity
securities. These sales of equity securities have allowed us to maintain a
positive cash flow balance. We have received a going concern opinion of our
financial statements that raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue
as a going concern.
Our two-year business plan encompasses the following steps to implement our
goals: during months one through six raise capital of $2,500,000 through the
sale of common stock in a private placement; during months seven through twelve
budget $957,000 for development of its school to include $215,000 for five track
vehicles and one pre-run van, $240,000 for one equipment hauler, $80,000 for two
full-time instructors, $30,000 for temporary track personnel, $180,000 for
facility rentals - including insurance and safety personnel, $25,000 for one
marketing manager, $17,000 for one office staff assistant, $25,000 for purchase
of computers and fixed assets, $75,000 for advertising, $20,000 for travel
expenses, and $50,000 for rent and other operating expenses. In addition, based
upon management's experience and the company's business plan, the company will
budget approximately $60,000 per year for property and injury insurance coverage
of $5,000,000. Management believes this level of insurance is adequate as race
track facilities include insurance coverage in their rental rates, and all
driving participants will be required to sign property damage and injury
disclaimers related to the inherent risks in high speed driving activities.
We will only be able to advance our business plan after we receive capital
funding through the sale of equity securities. After raising capital, management
intends to hire employees, rent commercial space in San Diego County,
California, purchase furniture and equipment, and begin development of its
operations. We intend to use the equity capital to fund the business plan during
the next twelve months as cash flow from sales is not estimated to begin until
year two of the business plan. We will face considerable risk in each of our
business plan steps, such as difficulty of hiring competent personnel within
budget, difficulty in securing track facility rental, and a shortfall of funding
due to our inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. If no
funding is received during the next twelve months, we will be forced to rely on
its existing cash in the bank and funds loaned by the directors and officers.
The officers and directors have no formal commitments or arrangements to
20
21
advance or loan funds to the company. In such a restricted cash flow scenario,
we would be unable to complete our business plan steps, and would, instead,
delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, we may be
dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds
could be raised in the equity securities market.
There are no current plans for additional product research and development. We
plan to purchase approximately $25,000 in furniture, computers, and software
during the next twelve months from proceeds of the equity security sales. The
business plan provides for an increase of four employees during the next twelve
months.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Del Cerro's principal executive office address is 2635 Camino del Rio South
#211, San Diego, CA 92108. The principal executive office and telephone number
are provided by an officer of the corporation. The costs associated with the use
of the telephone and mailing address were deemed by management to be immaterial
as the telephone and mailing address were almost exclusively used by the officer
for other business purposes. Management considers the current principal office
space arrangement adequate until such time as we are able to achieve our
business plan goal of raising capital of $2,500,000 and then begin hiring new
employees per the business plan.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The principal executive office and telephone number are provided by Mr. Ward, an
officer of the corporation. The costs associated with the use of the telephone
and mailing address were deemed by management to be immaterial as the telephone
and mailing address were almost exclusively used by the officer for other
business purposes.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Del Cerro plans to file for trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board which
is sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) as soon as
the Securities and Exchange commission notifies us that our SB-2 Registration
Statement is effective. The OTC Electronic Bulletin Board is a network of
security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer
network which provides information on current "bids", "asks" and volume.
As of the date of this filing, there is no public market for our securities.
There has been no public trading of our securities, and, therefore, no high and
low bid pricing. As of February 8, 2001, Del Cerro had 61 shareholders of
record. We have paid no cash dividends and have no outstanding options.

The Board agreed to pay Mr. Ward for administrative services and services
related to the company's business plan 30,000 shares of the company's common
stock on March 12, 1999. The stock was valued at the price unaffiliated
investors paid for stock sold by the company, $.10 per share. On March 15, 2000,
2,100,000 shares of the company's common stock were issued to him per a 71 for 1
stock split.
The Board agreed to pay Mrs. Ward for administrative services and services

The terms of these stock issuances were as fair to Del Cerro, in the board's
opinion, as could have been made with an unaffiliated third party.
The officers currently devote an immaterial amount of time to manage the affairs
of the company. The directors and principal officers have agreed to work with no
remuneration until such time as we receive sufficient revenues necessary to
provide proper salaries to all officers and compensation for directors'
participation. The officers and the board of directors have the responsibility
to determine the timing of remuneration for key personnel based upon such
factors as positive cash flow to include stock sales, product sales, estimated
cash expenditures, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and a
cash balance of not less than $25,000 at each month end. When positive cash flow
reaches $25,000 at each month end and appears sustainable the board of directors
will readdress compensation for key personnel and enact a plan at that time
which will benefit the company as a whole. At this time, management cannot
accurately estimate when sufficient revenues will occur to implement this
compensation, or the exact amount of compensation.
There are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to
officers, directors or
22
23
employees of the corporation in the event of retirement at normal retirement
date pursuant to any presently existing plan provided or contributed to by the
corporation or any of its subsidiaries, if any.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors October 23, 2000
DEL CERRO ENTERPRISES, INC.
San Diego, California
I have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of DEL CERRO ENTERPRISES,
INC. (A Development Stage Company), as of September 30, 2000, and September 30,
1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year ended September 30, 2000, and the period March 10, 1999,
(inception), to September 30, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DEL CERRO
ENTERPRISES, INC. (A Development Stage Company), as of September 30, 2000, and
September 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2000, and the period
March 10, 1999, (inception), to September 30, 1999, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #5 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these
matters is described in Note #5. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company was organized March 10,1999, under the laws of the State of
Nevada as DEL CERRO ENTERPRISES, INC. The Company currently has no
operations and in accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a development
company. In March 1999, the board of directors voted to seek capital and
began developing a business plan. In March 1999 the Company received its
initial funding through the sale of common stock. The company remains in
a development stage until it completes its registration statement
process with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is listed on a
stock exchange, and secures equity funding.

generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Cash and equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing
bank that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For
the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments with the maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of
accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS #109) "Accounting for Income Taxes". A
deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary
difference between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Reporting on Costs of Start-Up Activities
Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs
of Start-Up Activities" which provides guidance on the financial
reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires
most costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be
expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5,
there has been little or no effect on the company's financial
statements.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) "Earnings Per
Share". Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per
share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if
dilative common stock equivalents had been converted to common
stock. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had no dilative
common stock equivalents such as stock options.

revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to
continue as a going concern. The Company hopes to raise operating
capital through a private placement during the first seven months of its

twelve, and begin operations at the beginning of year two of its plan.
The stockholders/officers and/or directors have informally committed to
advancing the operating costs of the Company interest free, if
necessary.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. MANAGEMENT'S OPINION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of operations and the changes in
cash for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the period of March 10, 1999 (inception) to
December 31, 2000. The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted as
of December 31, 2000 as required by Item 310 (b) of Regulation S-B to include
all adjustments which in the opinion of Management are necessary in order to
make the financial statements not misleading.
2. INTERIM REPORTING
The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the remainder
of the year.
3. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on March 10, 1999. The Company is a
development stage company and has not conducted any business activities to date.
The Company has selected September 30th as its fiscal year end.
4. Basis of Accounting
The Company's policy is to use the accrual method of accounting and to prepare
and present financial statements which conform to generally accepted accounting
principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
5. Cash and equivalents
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with
a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There
were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2000.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109),
"Accounting for Income Taxes." A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for
all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
PART 1 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management's Plan of Operations
The Company maintains a cash balance sufficient to sustain corporate operations
until such time as Management can raise the funding necessary to advance its
business plan. The losses of $5123 through December 2000 were due to operating
expenses including licenses and fees, accounting and audit fees and office
expenses. Sales of the Company's equity securities have allowed the Company to
maintain a positive cash flow balance.
The Company's two year business plan encompasses the following steps to
implement its goals: during months one through six raise capital of $2,500,000
through the sale of common stock in a private placement; during months seven
through twelve budget $957,000 for development of its school to include $215,000
for five track vehicles and one pre-run van, $240,000 for one equipment hauler,
$80,000 for two full-time instructors, $30,000 for temporary track personnel,
$180,000 for facility rentals - including insurance and safety personnel,
$25,000 for one marketing manager, $17,000 for one office staff assistant,
$25,000 for purchase of computers and fixed assets, $75,000 for advertising,
$20,000 for travel expenses, and $50,000 for rent and other operating expenses.
The Company will only be able to advance its business plan after it receives
capital funding through the sale of equity securities. After raising capital,
Management intends to hire employees, rent commercial space in La Mesa,
California, purchase furniture and equipment, and begin development of its
operations. The Company intends to use its equity capital to fund the Company's
business plan during the next twelve months as cash flow from sales is not
estimated to begin until year two of its business plan. The Company will face
considerable risk in each of its business plan steps, such as difficulty of
hiring competent personnel within its budget, difficulty in securing track
facility rental, and a shortfall of funding due to the Company's inability to
raise capital in the equity securities market. If no funding is received during
the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on its existing cash
in the bank and funds loaned by the directors and officers. The Company's
officers and directors have no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or
loan funds to the Company. In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company
would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay
all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may be
dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds
could be raised in the equity securities market.

PART II
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Del Cerro's By-Laws allow for the indemnification of the officers and directors
in regard to their carrying out the duties of their offices. The board of
directors will make determination regarding the indemnification of the director,
officer or employee as is proper under the circumstances if he/she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law.
Section 78.751 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act provides that each
corporation shall have the following powers:
"1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of any fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgements, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in
a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgement, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a pleas of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had a reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgement in its favor by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for
any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in sections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses,
including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
24
43
with the defense.
4. Any indemnification under sections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or
advanced pursuant to section 5, must be made by the corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
determination must be made:
a. By the stockholders;
(B) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;
(C) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by
independent legal counsel, in a written opinion; or
(D) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion.
5. The certificate of articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made
by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors
incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be
paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this section do not affect any
rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than
director or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a
court pursuant to this section:
(a) Does not include any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
the certificate or articles of incorporation or any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an
action in another capacity while holding his office, except that
indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to section 2
or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to section 5,
may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a
final adjudication establishes that his acts or omission involved
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law
and was material to the cause of action.
(B) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
(C) The Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that "the
Corporation shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees
and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Nevada, as amended from time to time."

44
As to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
for directors, officers or persons controlling the company, we have been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy and unenforceable. See section entitled
"Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act
Liabilities".

Del Cerro will pay all expenses of the offering listed above. No portion of

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On March 12, 1999, the shareholders authorized the issuance of 30,000 shares of
common stock for services to each of the officers and directors of the company
for a total of 60,000 shares. We relied upon Section 4(2) of Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"). We issued the shares in satisfaction of management
services rendered by the officers and directors, which does not constitute a
public offering.
From the period of approximately March 15, 1999 until March 31, 1999, we offered
and sold 59,000 shares at $0.10 per share to 59 non-affiliated private
investors. We relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"). Each prospective investor was given a private placement memorandum
designed to disclose all material aspects of an investment in Del Cerro,
including the business, management, offering details, risk factors and financial
statements. Each investor also completed a subscription confirmation letter and
private placement subscription agreement whereby the investors certified that
they were purchasing the shares for their own accounts, with investment intent
and that each investor was either "accredited", or were "sophisticated"
purchasers, having prior investment experience or education, and having adequate
and reasonable opportunity and access to any corporate information necessary to
make an informed investment decision. This offering was not accompanied by
general advertisement or general solicitation and the shares were issued with a
Rule 144 restrictive legend.
Under the Securities Act of 1933, all sales of an issuers's securities or by a
shareholder, must either be made (i) pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed with the SEC, or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements under the 1933 Act.
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act sets forth conditions which if satisfied, permit
persons holding control securities (affiliated shareholders, i.e., officers,
directors or holders of at least ten percent of the outstanding shares) or
restricted securities (non-affiliated shareholders) to sell such securities
publicly without registration. Rule 144 sets forth a holding period for
restricted securities to
26
45
establish that the holder did not purchase such securities with a view to
distribute. Under Rule 144, several provisions must be met with respect to the
sales of control securities at any time and sales of restricted securities held
between one and two years. The following is a summary of the provisions of Rule
144: (a) Rule 144 is available only if the issuer is current in its filings
under the Securities an Exchange Act of 1934. Such filings include, but are not
limited to, the issuer's quarterly reports and annual reports; (b) Rule 144
allows resales of restricted and control securities after a one year hold
period, subjected to certain volume limitations, and resales by non-affiliates
holders without limitations after two years; (c) The sales of securities made
under Rule 144 during any three-month period are limited to the greater of: (i)
1% of the outstanding common stock of the issuer; or (ii) the average weekly
reported trading volume in the outstanding common stock reported on all
securities exchanges during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the
required notice of the sale under Rule 144 with the SEC.
On March 15, 2000, the board of directors authorized a forward stock split of 71
for 1 resulting in a total of 8,449,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers of sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
1. Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
2. Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement, or most recent
post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this registration statement; and
3. Include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities

registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
that the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by
one of our directors, officers, or other controlling persons in connection with
the securities registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of
whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
