CRBWS6 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) As I understand it, there have been sale talks at least as far back as 2015 when one of my clients tried to buy it. Based on the popularity of this area for warehouse developments, not holding my breath that the next buyer would be able to financially justify keeping the track. Probably worth 10-15M.

scotturich Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 This sucks because you doesn’t just effect us it effects all the clubs who use the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyers Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 For many years we and other Clubs had a great relationship at Firebird. Often they would draw upon our Club members to assist with putting on some of their events. Looks like it's time to see what kind of new relationship might be possible. I'm thinking that PIR (or whatever it's called today) might be worth an approach, we'd only need one of their side parking lots, maybe two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 This is a general post not aimed at anyone in particular, but just to be really clear: starting (or restarting) a relationship with an autocross site can be tricky and delicate, and requires a great deal of care. Sometimes this means you only get one shot at it. If you have an idea for a site, please do not go investigating it on your own, please do not pre-emptively reach out to the site owner, etc. Instead, provide the information to club leadership and allow them to develop a reach-out plan. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyers Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Absolutely, what Manfred said. At this point in time (these days) any approach or reaching out to any site would need to be highly professional, organized, and always done through Club Leadership. All kinds of legalities….insurance, costs, and authority to make any binding agreement…. Like that. Edited July 20 by smeyers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokones Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 And nobody should be representing the Club without the expressed consent of the Region's Executive Board. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach5Mk5 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Damn, this is painful to see. I’ve been driving here at our competitions since high school. Given how the listing presents it, I’m also not expecting it to stay as a track. Firebird is back to being called Firebird now, and they did a whole announcement around their new management who seems to want the track to succeed. Fingers crossed the club can go back there once AMP is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuko305 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Well, this blows. Maybe, fingers crossed, someone with deep pockets and a love a racing will purchase and turn it into a major, Motorsports club, and add amenities. I don’t have deep pockets, so that won’t be me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
