I want this. I just have to win the lottery first...

Same here. If I owned it, I would invite all of FT86Club to visit and drive wide open.

Well then you could go HERE and buy some cars to go around it!

Ok, in 30 seconds or less, pick your favorite. I love this game.

(Seems appropriate given the brand connection)

Damn, I doubt a winning lottery ticket would be enough!

bestwheelbase · 08-25-2012, 05:00 PM

This one would be fun out there too:

Thats eye candy

ichitaka05 · 08-25-2012, 05:19 PM

Damn! I wonder how much it is the that Former Honda track cost...

bestwheelbase · 08-25-2012, 05:24 PM

In an interview last year they said "between $10M and 25M." I guess the entire property can be broken up for different uses.

If I had the coin, I'd buy the whole damn thing and it would be fantastic.

Indiegogo/kickstarter?

Turn it into a non-profit automotive heaven. I bet if it went viral and spread through all of the internet car forums, you could crowd source the entire thing.

Let's start a co-op race course. Everyone throw in money and we'll do a "group" buy.

Sounds good to me. Big contributors get access, small contributors get t-shirts and updates, we continue to make it available for testing to manufacturers. Add solar cells at one end of the property - enough to power the whole place. Make it a toll road like Nurburgring. Bring tourism and economy to the area. You think the Texas Mile is fun? Try our high speed oval...

i'd LOVE to be able to take a spin there. just wish it wasn't so far away. stupid middle of the country being in the way

This, except add enough solar cells where we could start selling some of the energy. It's a huge property, so it should be possible. It's sunny most of the year. That would help fund the maintenance of the track.
