Interesting read.

Interesting comments below it, too, although who knows what the truth is re the deed.

The current owner says he comes with the track. I wonder if he expects to be paid by any future owner for his "help" when he's not off racing?

Also somewhat amused that he says the track won't be worth sh!t if he isn't still involved in its operations. Is this guy looking for a partner, or a purchaser?

I think a Phase II might be in order before I opened my checkbook.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I have never seen a ready to run track for less than $750K. Wonder what the catch is?

Can't see why that is a big deal, floods on that magnitude don't happen in 15? mins, without any warning, do they? And if they have happened at the track in past, other then during a race weekend, doesn't look to harm the property, or am I missing something?

Needs a few things, "Maybe a little concrete work"

You think going underwater might affect the racing surface???

Has been sold 4 times. What other tracks are nearby? Are there any restrictions on noise or days/times of operation?

I don't know about flooding, it appears to be 7.5 or so miles from the river. Hardly right next to it.

Judging by the size of the grandstands I would say that spectator turnout is on the "low" side.

The city of Dyersburg is probably 7 1/2 miles from the river the track is not in Dyersburg. You have to drive off the levee toward the river to get down to the track. Look on google earth to see how far it is.

Google 'water table'....

I bet hat track seeps water like a radiator with a screwdriver in it.
