I heard $25 million...

For a few test tracks (paved) and a MX track too, along with support buildings that's a steal.

CorvetteForum R&D facility? We'd only need 2,500 people to pony up $10k/ea and were are there!

And Your neighbors are, Willow Springs and Edwards AF Base (don't forget to pack some water).

This was just the complementary addition to the C5R-005 I was planning on aquiring as soon as my portfolio manager (NJ State Lottery Commission) green lights the purchaces

Top Gear USA, with the hosts it has, is the worst program on TV; polar opposite to the BBC version.

Good idea!!!!
I was looking for a second home and an investment so how does this sound.... get 250 @ 100K with building rights, then sell stock with out building lots and start "Autobahn West"...

For that, I am in. Have been thinking about that concept for a few years now. Maybe with 20 -50 investors.......

After all, out here in the west the driving season is SOOOOO much longer.

I have been into the track property,but not on the track.World Class set up. Nearest decent motel/meals is either Ridgecrest of Tehacaphi.
The KIA test center is just east of downtown Mojave,about 25 miles away.California City is known for its vacant lots and REO homes.

The track is about 45 min from me. I'm in Ridgecrest. I pass it going to Willow Springs Raceway or just heading south to L.A. I think the track could have HUGE potential not only for cars, but motorcycle and ATV sponsored races, possibly Monster truck events as well. You cannot believe how many off road vehicals, motorcycles and ATV's gather in this area on weekends and holidays.

I'm in for sweat equity
