and the list grows. I am hearing some other purchases are close to being announced.

So he is just buying WDRA tracks, I wish him the best of luck. More tracks the better

It appears that when the IHRA's full acquisition of the WDRA was announced and the WDRA essentially became the new IHRA Sportsman Series, the tracks may have been given the opportunity to renegotiate their sanctioning agreements. So a lot of WDRA and IHRA tracks are re-signing under the reunified IHRA sportsman program, but there have also been some tracks that chose to move to the NHRA from the WDRA or IHRA. That seems to be the main reason why there have been several new NHRA member tracks announced so far this offseason.

These announcements are not tracks being purchased. Member tracks are sanctioned tracks, not owned tracks...

Yes, I knew that, just went into brain fart when I typed that, LOL

 

[jgrigz]

Are the non-owned tracks eligible for a national event or are they just for the IHRA owned facilities?

 

[Rocket Man]

pretty sure the national events will only be at the owned tracks.

 

[ironpony]

What does it matter if they own them ?? NHRA basically owns nothing, rents everything.

motorcyle jack guy's most recent video (shot from orlando speedworld), said the owner of orlando speedworld was approached
about selling, which the owner, at this time, declined ...... so there sure seems to be offers out there being made.
as jack mentioned in his video, this sure seems like a perfect time for ihra to step into PBIR

 

[jgrigz]

From what I’ve read (true or false) the price for PBIR is outrageous of even Daryl Cuttell’s ball park

 

[Rocket Man]

I'm not sure there is such a price for him. It can't be more than 10-20M and if it was he may have paid it.

 

[Ponyhntr]

Last number I heard was $70M. He walked away. Smartly.

 

[Rocket Man]

wow that fla real estate is like gold.
