Jackson County owns the property, which also includes a dirt oval, dirt cart and paved carting tracks. Each is run by different people. Jim Taylor was not allowed to renew his lease. It was more than obvious that he had no money and expected everyone else to foot the bills, including the County. The deal is that the lease is very cheap, however, you pay for everything.
I doubt that Jay Livingston has the cash it will take to run the place. I would estimate that having $75,000 to $100,000 in the bank would give you the backing to make it work.....assuming you really know what you're doing, which, in my opinion, Taylor didn't, nor would he listen to anyone who wanted to help.
It is a beautiful facility, with a ton of potential. Most of the things needed are cosmetic, including paving the main portion of the pits and getting rid of all the rocks. There are concrete pads in part of the pits, but rocks all around them. A bit of creativity in promotion and I, & others here in town, feel like to could be a great place.
