Driven by this place many times. The shutdown area always intrigued me.
Dec- March it could double as a ski resort

Why do I sense that this thread will grow to multiple pages as this mess goes on?

Better number the strips for sale for easier identification..... ATCO is number one, this will be #2, and so on......

I believe Maple Grove at this point is still also for sale but with a much higher asking price.
It was never easy making money with a drag strip but now with many states limiting the number of spectators and fans, it has really become much harder to figure out how to make any drag strip profitable.
I guess once we can all get a virus shot to protect our health things might start getting back to some kind of normal routine again.

China is probably working on a new one

Tri-State in Earlville is for sale, also. I don't think there's anything more to it than Reid just wants to retire, and I think he'll hold out until a good buyer comes in that will run it properly. At least, I hope that's the case since it's my personal favorite track.

Im old so I’m thinking soap box derby. Run the track in reverse and get the kids out for some fun.

Hey Troy. Didja ever go down a steep street in a grocery cart? I grew up in Glendale, Calif. We had Adams Hill, which was steep going up or down. If somebody got a grocery cart, hopped in and headed downhill, you could really get some speed up..... unless the cart flipped & you landed on a lawn. Not saying I ever did that.

27 acres for 300K is not bad but that place looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

My thoughts EXACTLY!
I mean, a lot of folks could spring for $300K - and maybe even some concrete pad improvement but, insurance would PROBABLY cause a negative cash flow (under the best of circumstances). A sad reality.

I shot at Medford Dragstrip, Medford, Oregon last weekend. Their shutdown looks exactly like that.
