Another track closing

rx dealer · 07-13-2017, 10:59 AM

Jeff Teuton is it worth buying and keeping it running?

As I understand, Nelson and Marla have been in a long battle with the landlord. They didn't want to continue putting money on a facility that requires many upgrades. Therefore, as part of the settlement, they had to give up the lease of the facility early.

The rumor mill is that the landlord wants to use the property to build a runway. It also appears that they are working with the city to find land to build a new facility.

Nice Place. I'm sure Bobby Brannon knows the details. I think he does business with the property owners all 157 Acres of it. I looked at it some time back, but just a little far from where I live and now I'm just too damn old and fat. Interstate 49 Exit at track, not far from Shreveport where 20 goes Dallas to Atlanta, and not far from Texarkana where 30 runs Memphis to Dallas. I 49 runs from Lafayette, LA to Texarkana. Place even has a beer garden.

Maybe you can buy the beer garden part?

I have checked, but can not find it listed at Ennis yet. Just wanting to know if the date is the same.

Marla and Nelson are really great operators for the track. Can not find a better hooking race track. Any day when the track is rented first car goes straight down the track. Truly the track is going to be missed.
The owners of the track doesn't want to do any updates. So sad.
My 2cents worth.

I remember it as a nice facility with large spiders and red mud when it rained.

Interesting, using the tracks North-South footprint? O'Hare Airport will have ALL east /west runways but two small ones after the Mayor's eminent domain reconstruction;-)

If the Lucas race moves to Ennis I may put the SS carb on the Super - 10

Brought it up on google Maps, what a nice place.
We'd die for something like that here on Long Island!!!
