Please go to www.maplegroveraceway.com and click on news at the top of the page.

The family is working on some things and sounds like they want it to stay a racing facility. Worth the read.

I think at the 8 mil asking price this might get bought by someone who wants to continue on with the race track. Price might be negotiable and you might even be able to get some owner financing. 450 acres in that part of Pa. is pretty amazing.

Where are you reading 450 acres? The Coldwell-Banker add says 111.12 acres.

The Maple Grove website news article refers to 450 acres.

Such a beautiful facility, got to go there in 2008. I hope new owners are found that will keep it operating a drag strip. Back in the 70's, out here on the west coast, we saw numerous tracks sold and turned into commercial properties. Once a track is sold, getting the land and permits to open a new one is a monumental task!

So I guess that I can assume that the tract that is the racetrack is 111.12 acres and the whole of Maple Grove Park is 450 acres?

The story as I was told was Bill Bader wanted to buy the racetrack operation only. N interest in the park or bar.

How many entries would it take (raised quotas) for NHRA to buy the facility?:D

The sales price includes the business and mutliple parcels totalling 450 acres. It is in the description on the Coldwell-Banker listing.

Would love to see Baders own it.
That’s only 1 race and it’s a holiday weekend. There isn’t another NHRA scheduled race there again until the keystones which they make $0 on ticket sales. 12 month mortgage of $8 million, only open 6 months a year. It’s a hard market for race tracks now a days is all I’m saying.

There is a lot more going on at that track than just the two NHRA events. There are 12 days of events scheduled for June alone.
