Why are they selling it? How close is this track to being legislated out of business by noise restrictions from the encroaching urban sprawl?
They can race two times per week and I now believe camping is aloud. Place needs seating repairs, bathroom and new concessions. Asphalt is wearing thin. Probably needs 300k at a minimum investment
As for why, I can’t say, but local ordnance/sprawl won’t be a problem. There’s nothing over there to interfere.
You realize that the last 2 pictures aren’t even Owosso speedway right?!?!
Interested. Do I need appointment to look at it??
Whoever bought it I’ll be willing to come out there and work for you give me a holler leave me a message 304-995-8070
