    IMO terrible location for a junk yard

    Copart is taking the good ones away from us.

      At least crownman won't have to worry about any more cancellations.

          A good racing facility in North Carolina, 311 Speedway, was turned into a junk yard by its owner after many years of great racing. Someone as big as Co-Parts isn't necessary, just a loser like 311's owner.

            Yea your exactly right jog49. Mike said the fans and racers made him hate it. Problem is he pissed off the fans and racers. There will never be another race at 311 sad to say unless someone buys it but not at a 4 mil price tag. Mike is heavy into real-estate.

              And Mike made the fans and racers hate him and 311…….so there’s that.

              4 million,lol…..sounds about as ridiculous as some of those goofy excuses he used to make to not race.
              Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                Doing a real estate deal with MF……..would land at the bottom of every list of things I’ve ever wanted to do in my life, right after blindfolded nighttime skim boarding over a jagged oyster bed then stepping off into a pool of rubbing alcohol to rinse my feet.

                Nope, pass on that deal but good luck to Him.

                    Where did the money come from anyway? I remember his only income was renting inner tubes to float down the Dan River at one time. Must have been extremely popular! LOL!

                        If they close the place hopefully they load up all that red clay and bring it to Brownstown Speedway in Indiana!

                          Copart likes to buy racetracks and expand their business. I believe the fact that all the oil and chemicals already in the ground make it attractive to them; can always claim the issues where already there....

                            Copart is a company that sells mechanical trash to human trash and people in the area don’t realize how much worse it’s going to be than a race track.

                              Copart is different from a typical “ junkyard.” They sell entire cars via online auctions- they do not sell parts from cars.
