Property value is pretty high out there! Especially with all the expansion. I can't imagine someone being able to open a track on a piece of land, and it last very long. In a year or 2 he will be offered an amount he can't refuse to build something else on the land he is occupying!
I live in Naperville, and think all the time, man, I wish there was some land I could buy to build my own local track. And sure, there is land available around here, but just to pay the property taxes for the place, I would have to charge $40 a person to race! And that still wouldn't cover them and all my other overhead! And even if I could afford it, I woudl bet a few years down the road someone would want to by that land to develope something. And I bet the offer would be way more than i would be making running the track!
So I would imagine if it is opened as a business, it will be difficult to make it! And if it does, it won't last too long. That's why most of these tracks are out in the boon docks! Wasn't there one in DeKalb? Now it's goine I think, I don't know why, but with the developement out there, I bet it was getting too expensive to run the place!
