A few extra competitors, spectators and a couple more cheeseburgers sold will not change his mind. He is selling the track no matter what. At this point he is just trying to offset the cost of the delay of the sale, or money going in his bank account. I’d rather support the tracks that are staying in business. No reason to ever go back here other then supporting the ECSSA or the last D1 race. Other than that the owner can pound sand. For the time being, this is America, and an individual can do whatever he wants with his property. That doesn’t mean we have to support him.

Everyone wants a racetrack in there backyard but going to a LODRS race and a national open essentially racing at the track twice a year doesn't cut it. I've watched a couple tracks close and I was not really surprised as I had been there the preceding seasons and surmised that after witnessing the weekly car counts I'd hate to see the balance sheet at the end of the year. Owning a racetrack in these current climate is a balancing act and the pot of gold is real estate appreciation, which sounds like exactly whats going on here.
Maybe if he was making $ he wouldn't be trying to sell
