Buy your own race track - now on ebay!

Just came across this. Granted, it's a NASCAR oval, but with 49 acres who knows what you could make it. It's in Washingtons sunny eastside. We could use another track within a couple of hours of Seattle.

"Buy it now" price of $15,000,000. Hmmm, if each of us kicks in $1,000 or so....


I can see it now. Wayne's next book: "101 Maintenance Projects for your NASCAR"
Project 16: Downforce adjustment
Project 53: Clockwise or counterclockwise?
Project 90: Beers of the USA

I was there a few years ago to watch the WoO.
It's a dirt track, if this is the same one (Yakima).

You buy it, I'll bring the first Porsche over to run on it and show those farmers what cornering is all about

UPS has delivered a whale and other items.
Now if they could deliver to the East coast, maybe we could find a few investors...

You could build a pretty sweet road course on some cheap land, for that kind of money.

No doubt...land is still relatively "cheap" in the Calif. deserts and inland valley areas; basically anywhere that isn't by the beach and isn't near places where plants grow really well. I suspect all the permit hassles and construction costs would pile up rapidly, though.
