I have one less than 2 miles from me and the owner sux.

I wish I had the coin to buy it and resurface the track.

Add indicates it can be leased. Mabe an agreement could be reached. No racers in volum then no pay. They quit coming there for some reaason. PPmanagement ruins alot of good things. I f that was here I would jump right on that deal. If it made no money then turn it into a subdivision:lol::lol:

Cool Fri nite, Sat, and Sunday . 10.5 Is good stuff , and respectable time. Have a nice pay off for a 3.99 1/8th. That one pulls the competition in at one place I know about here in mo. Huge gathering evrytime its open. Management is changing at this particular track . Not to far from Boss's town. Rogersville Mo. Neal Chance Convertors bought this Strip in Mo. Mitch Chance runs it from what I gather so far. Way north of that town is another track & Strip combined . Lucas Oil owns. Just finishing the Drag Strip or it may be done by now not sure. All of them are 2 hours or more one way for me.But thats okay. Just glad to go once in awhile.
