Awesome facility and I'd bet the guy that thought up that idea and developed it is laughing all the way to the bank now.

Yea that is an awesome idea, but I'm sure he had to have some coin to get the ball rolling in the first place.. it's a great concept!

Of course in the end it's the people/community that really create a place like that..

Idea obviously extremely successful but not for me even if I had the stupid crazy $ it cost to join.

Just makes a lot more sense to me to build something like the autobahn road race track with garage spaces to rent in Joliet, IL, where you can actually road race your pride and joy all day, then wrench, wash and store your car there to.

Must be the gear head in me that would be really bored with this idea, as I need to be driving my cars HARD, not storing them in a living room environment where they are like pieces of furniture or artwork hanging on the wall!
