[DeTomaso] Reno-Fernley (Re: FW: [SDP] Re: 2017 POCA Fun Rally)

I suggest Asa Jay just drives on down to take a few laps in his Pantera and report back on actual seat of the pants condition.


The locals out at Ferntucky love the dirt oval, specially when there's a big ol' crash and a couple drivers die, gets em their money's worth! The oval is operated as a separate entity and as I understand has different owners. The RFR road course has been for sale for some time, now down to $7MM latest (started out at $29MM) but it needs completely repaving to be race-able condition. The most likely scenario is it will get redeveloped; as yes it almost backs onto land that the new Tesla Giga factory is being built on, hey maybe they'll take it as a development track.

Went to there web site, it does look like they are still running some events? But then I found another web site "Realtor" that said the Property was for sale? Around 7-8 Mil. They said it was about 10 miles from the new Tesla Plant being built?

 Recent satellite imagery suggest the track is still there.  A little
covered in sand in a few places but looks race-able.  And apparently the
oval track has a schedule throughout 2016, so somebody's running the place.
