Glad these are starting to pop up.. but 40 acres?? That's a go-kart track, and from what I have heard it's going to be mostly private like Area 27.

All these fears/woes of it being private, while completely valid, are only going to be temporary. It is in my honest opinion that these tracks will not be able to sustain themselves on memberships alone. Maybe for the first 5 years they will, but eventually they will be having down days where nothing is happening at the track. Middle school business taught me that one should never have down days in a business haha.
Just give it time, it'll open itself up.

I'm still pretty interested in how this is gonna work out. We need a larger track than mission raceway that has a free race sessions where you sign the paper, put on your helmet, and go at it.
