How about we all go in a buy this ?

I'd be interested at $1K if we could arrange to let me stay in the trailer a week or two (in season) each year. 1 Bedroom will be fine.

 

If we where really going to do this , Is there a lawyer on the hamb who would take it on and you would need somone who could just buy it and sell shears of the track to us ,, I bet someone has the $$$$ coff it up .

 

Actually, "country club" road courses are quite the rage in the sporty car circles these days. No partners, but rather investors, a board of directors, and of course lawyers

 

Big Dad..
You got what i meant..you would need get the cash together ,make an offer..establish share partnerships,insurance ,transfer fees ,taxes..corp ID..
yeah you need a good legal lawyer to do the deal..
Likely set up like a condo assoc, type deal, where everyone knows the do and can'ts..
Still not a bad idea..

If you build it WILL they come????

Think I saw that movie..

 

700 of us run the San Angelo Rodio. It is the fifth largest in the USA. We are a 501-C3 non profit. We apply for and receive grant money on a regular basis.We do this on 45 acres. It can be done!

 

I am in for $10K to start here (might be able to do a little more... But I get to live in the trailer house and to drive the Bambalance!

As well I am sure I can book in a few T/F and F/C to help livin it up a little! LOL.

 

I`m in for $1000. That`s only 8 tanks of diesel in my Dodge pickup.

 

how about 10 k with only 50 partners.............each partner gets so many acres put up a prefab with a killer shop...why not airplane folks built houses close to the runways, i can just picture it now honey ill be rite back im going on a tune up run.......he he he all day long just one more before dinner...........i got my 10 k

 

I'm In all I want is a special parking place

 

oh,oh, there goes that idea..I'm out.. !!! better put the car back in the shop !

 

Dont forget....You will need a "lawn mower/track manager". So Im packing my bag and will be at your house in a few days! Ha!!

 

It could be done, but in Texas you could take the half mill and by property away from residence, build your track, bleachers and the rest. It's a great idea. I like the private club thing. Then you could keep the rift raff out and the the guys (and gals) who want to see the sport live in. Maybe throw in some camp grounds with hook ups. All members have to put in equal time keeping the place up during events.like the song says "Dreaming is free"

 

That would be the perfect job for you
and

We would need a shaker bar on property too

 

Now hang on here Big Dad. You want to raise 500K for two strips of asphalt so two cars can slug it out side by side for a 1/4 mile??? Well ******#########+++++++====== Shit sounds like a good idea to me>>>>.

 

I think i can come up with a g I am sure there is a chapter of the local red and white that will do security and as an partner i will expect that my rider be followed to the T ! I expect only the finest tasmanian midget luchadors to feed me my green m&ms!!!

 

Is there enough shut down area for fuel cars there? Out here in So California, I know of 25 or 30 N/FCs. I kinda get the shivers, in a good way, to think of what sort of match races they can have with so many cars. A whole bunch of these guys are old time drag racers, touring pros, if you want to call them that. They know how to put on a booked in funny car show. I'd find some dough to invest in an east Texas dragstrip, if it can run the IHRA Nitro stuff. Call me a Pollyanna if you want, but I think drag racing is about to make a big cultural comeback. The ricer kids and the NOPI bunch might be dorks and not bow down to the V8 alter, but show them a NITRO show and they get hooked.

As far as the shooting part, man, I don't know. I've never been to east Texas or Louisiana. But I sure love Zydeco and Cajun music which is filled with almost as much violence and bloodshed as bluegrass.

 

Well....lets get Jesse James and what's her name to buy it. With all the TV and movie connections they have we could all hire on as extras at least 52 weeks a year.

 

I will be running it!!! Not Tom!!!

 

Maybe we could just get skinny young chicks in string bikinis to work the water box, staging lanes, etc ?

 

Looks like 1/8 mile to me, with a shutdown in the trees...

 

Man thats a deal! Count me in!

 

saving a dead drag strip would be a great thing fit solidly in the "do the right thing" category, and would help ensure my trip to heaven.

i'd imagine a non profit organization.... stock holders.... and a volunteer / low pay elected association to manage. the bottom line though is that it's very unlikely to ever make money. however, many folks do need tax deductions... i do.

i'd be game if someone had the time to seriously put something right together. any retired fellas looking for something good to do?

I will make some calls!................

 

Aman;

That begs the question;
why aren't local investors buying this property?
Big Dad..still a great idea..don't quit dreamin',I can't sleep anyway !!

 

I'm a sucker for a big dream - count me in! Sounds idyllic to me...
I helped re-start our local strip here, a couple years ago. The politics, money and legalities are nightmarish, but it was so satisfying...
Yeah, I could live in Dragsville, Texas...

 

Oh ya. I almost forgot. I want "in" on the deal too. I have bought $500 in beer on a good weekend! Ha. Just kidding...

 

It is a 1/4 ..guys tell me that is does have enough shut down area
They said the track itself was ok , return road was lousy

Has not run in 3 years , there are a couple other tracks within 75 miles too

Lots of texas is rural .. The DFW metro has allot of people but
get 100 miles away ...Miles of nothing

 

Might need a Texas licensed architect if there's any building to do.... hey wait, that's me.
Can I barter for my shares? If so, count me in.
Dan

 

Big Dad;
If it's been sittin for 3 years, it may be bought "right" then..
someone should buy it. there's more closing ,than opening..

 

Wow! What a story behind this, you could make a movie about this deal.
