wagner Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 If I didn't already know the shitshow it can be to run a track/program I would look into this at the price they have it at. http://www.dragzine.com/news/want-buy-dragstrip-mcir-sale-ohio/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 $600k? for 36 acres and 7800sqft of commercial buildings? Wow, that seems cheap. Was it ever an airstrip? I've flown in and out of Mt. Victory's grass field just to the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've flown in and out of Mt. Victory's grass field just to the west. Nope, always been a drag strip. I'm guessing at that price it's about to become a bunch of shitty track homes.

zeitgeist57 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Given that area, I don't see a population density need for a lot of homes. Probably part of the reason why it's gone down $150k in sale price over the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I was just going to say, who want's to live in Marion? Wagner, what would it take for this venue to host something like the now homeless summernationals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODoyle Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I was just going to say, who want's to live in Marion? Wagner, what would it take for this venue to host something like the now homeless summernationals? I dont know if the folks at Norwalk would be to keen about that idea.

Probably part of the reason why it's gone down $150k in sale price over the last few years. The best tracks are in the middle of nowhere, they just haven't been running a good program there. I was just going to say, who want's to live in Marion? Wagner, what would it take for this venue to host something like the now homeless summernationals? This place isn't anywhere near what's required for an NHRA level event. Let's put it this way 36 acres is just what you need for parking, let alone racers. I've got a pretty good idea where the Summernationals might land, just waiting to see it all fall into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Not to mention the track would need a significant overhaul to be up to nhra standards. I use to run up there on test and tune nights back in the day. It was cheap fun but the last time I went, there was a huge bump in one of the lanes (don't recall which one now) that would scare the shit out of you if you weren't ready for it. It has been a while since I was there maybe 7-8 years now. Anyone know if they have resurfaced/repaired it since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentStateTsi Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Forgot to mention the $42,000 of owed tax on it. Still a pretty rough surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furloaf Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Again? Or did it not sell the last time? I thought it was about $2 mil last go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Well, it certainly offers a unique racing experience. As I've said many times, it's the only track where I've seen drivers in the staging lanes drinking beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizin01 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I remember a drunk guy trying to wheelie his buddies bike in the staging lanes and laying it down into several pieces. Fun times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun times... Oh sh!t, I may have been up there that night as well. The guy I remember was trying to spin the rear tire and it caught and he flipped it backwards on top of himself at the line. good times!

As I've said many times, it's the only track where I've seen drivers in the staging lanes drinking beer. I dunno about beer, but I certainly finished off a Captain and Sprite next up in the staging lanes before taking my convertible mustang GT with the top down, no seatbelts on down that track. No helmet obviously, would screw with my hair waving sexily in the breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
