    Now you can own a race track

    Saw the thread on Deer Creek being for sale. Here's a few others. Any more to add?

    Kentucky Lake
    Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway: For Sale. The Calvert City, KY dirt track fell victim to eminent domain in 2015 due to the highway expansion.


    Ararat Speedway (or Rolling thunder, or Ararat Thunder, depending on the year and promoter) in Va (hey, this one is cheap, and comes with a house!)

    The Ararat one is the only one that looks like something doable.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

        Ararat is to far from major roads and to small for big shows. Really good track for mini sprints, 4 cylinders, etc... Not much for Late Models.

            Ararat. Looks like a pretty good spot. However, If I bought out there, I wouldn't buy a race track. I would lock the gate listen to the birds and clean my guns. the price is pretty dang good though.

              Ararat is a neat little track. They call it a 3/8. I say it's a glorified 1/4. I have seen some great mini-sprint and 4 cylinder races there. Late models, not so much. I would run mini-sprints and legends if it were mine. Location will keep it from being too succesful.

                      Didn't the eminent domain purchase render klms useless,but yet it is for sale asking 3x what current owner paid for it

                          The cost to get it back in shape would be incredibly expensive. Plus the fact the locals do not want it to be a racetrack. Getting a permit from the county would be tough.
