Your own race track

Sorry bloke, I don't have a spare $10m (US) to buy this place

Your own personal driving nirvana can be bought for $14.6 million
By Cameron Kirby, 15 Jun 2020 Motorsport
Here’s some free financial advice from us at Wheels HQ. Speeding tickets are expensive, so you should buy this race track to save money.

There are some things you should be aware of though. The purchase price is US$10 million (A$14.6 million), and the track is in the United States of America.

We didn’t say this would be good financial advice.
Located two hours east of Portland, Oregan Raceway Park was built in 2008 for a reported cost of US$3.2 million, and it’s now on the market for you to buy.

There is a total of 16 turns in each 3.7-kilometre lap, with heaps of elevation changes. Each lap takes in nearly 122 vertical metres. There’s even a turn with 14 degrees of banking, so you can go full Ricky Bobby.

Located on a 434-acre plot of land, the track isn’t exactly going to be hosting a Formula 1 grand prix any time soon, but it is perfect for track days, club racing, or your own personal high-speed driving escape.

It’s not just the winding ribbon of tarmac that’s up for sale, with all the facility's amenities included in the listing. There are your regular track fanfare of restrooms and an aid room, as well as a two-pump fuel station, 12-bay pit building, and more than 100 acres of undeveloped land if you feel you want to extend the existing circuit.
If you were hoping to buy the track and turn it into your own personal driving nirvana, there is a small catch, as all existing track bookings have to be honoured by the new owners.

Once those have passed though, it’ll be your own private playground.

Check out the below video to get an idea of why this would make the ultimate property purchase for the discerning and well-heeled driving enthusiast.

Hmm. I wonder if they'll take a check?

Sounds right up Toomyrot's alley. He could buy it for all of us to use, hell I would even trailer my car from the east coast.

Shame it’s in Oregon.

10 mil is a little high probably. I think they run about 4 months out of the year due to weather limitations. Its a pretty remote area for medical services so if you crash you better have air ambulance insurance.

Its a more technical track compared to Laguna Seca or Thunderhill east. A Cobra would be super fun there, which is basically like saying water is wet.

If they build that track for 3.2 and in 2008 think its worth 10 now.... well good luck with that.

If we weren't in lock down here I'd probably be towing my trailer there for this weekend's track day with Rob Burch's motofit group

Well if Jim say's I should buy it, then it's deal done Like bobcowan said I wonder if they will take a check I say lets gang-fund this, and I'll be the caretaker, you know keep the track clean with my 427 side-pipes Hell I'll live there, in my RV. Let see how many reg. members here? I think 50K apiece, that's only what 200 members, "Piece of Cake" That good for you Jim, here's my address so send those check's direct to me . Cheers TommyRot.

I think that the person is nuts if he thinks that he can get $10 million for that track in todays economy. Too many people still out of work and trying to get their feet back underneath them to have money to spend on racing or track days. A buyer would have to be very careful not to get stuck with an albatross tied around his neck. Maybe that is why the seller is trying to sell the track.....

Spot on Jim.
