Call a local road construction company and ask them, but I bet you will have well over $3,000,000 (probably closer to $5,000,000) by the time you include staging lanes, return road, pits, spectator parking, and entrance road.

I think 1/2 mile of shutdown is the minimum for 1/4 miles cars running say 120 mph, and if you want to run 200+ mph cars you will need at least 3/4 mile.

Oh well, the insurance will be the killer.maybe easier to just open a topless bar instead If you haven't figured it out.I'm looking for a new career.I'm tired of mine owning a software consulting business.I already know about insurance/benefits/corporate insurance/taxes and all that crap.īack in 1981 a friend who worked as an estimator for an asphalt company told me that a two lane road was about $1,000,000 per mile including grading, bed, and asphalt. Maybe even build a large storage building with a few lifts in them to lease out monthly to folks needing a good work area for a small amount of time and needing a lift.like to build an exhaust system, etc.

Having an EMT crew there each night costs about $100 hr total for 2, my wife works with abunch of EMTs.Īlready thought about the lights/stands and stuff.As far as food, I'd let a catering company deal with that one, those folks with their own trailers that sell food at construction sites etc.Īlready thought about employees to pay, but since it would not be a full time job, only open about 20-25 hours a week, no benefits to pay.Īlso, Myself, wife and step daughter would work it so only a handful of others would be needed to operate it.Īlready thought of bathrooms and stuff, no prob there, that stuff is cheap compared to the track cost and insurance.cinder blocks are cheapĪ buddy of mine owns a performance shop and would relocate his business to the track so there would be an onsite garage and repair center for all those kids not doing their own workĪnother buddy has a transmission shop and wants to get into performance parts sales.so there's another opportunity to have a Speed shop right there on site.Steel buildings are cheap one time cost compared to the track and insurance again.īuy parts, have the shop put them on and test it right there at the track.

Thanks for the insurance link, yeah, that would be the kicker there, not to mention taxes on such a property in the middle of the city unless I left some cows or goats to wonder the land and claim it as agricultural which would be partially exempt I guess thats why all the track are way out in the middle of no where. My class project/idea of changing oil at a customers place of work was shot down due to insurance liability issues.Ĭlick to expand.Well, people don't want a dragstrip in their neighborhood here either, but this place is over a mile from the closest homes and everything else is industrial businesses and shipping plants, or rail yards near it, and even a chemical factory or 2. I remember my college professor putting holes in everyones business plans in 'Small business management 101' quite sobering. Not trying to discourage you, just being real. Many racing events require a ambulance/EMT crew on site - more $$$. Employees need salary, social security, unemployment, benefits etc. Paying employees for admission, tech lines, start line, Public address, fuel shack, bathroom cleaner and the all important hot girl in the timeslip booth. Grandstands, lights, maintenance equipment etc. Permits for selling food, bathrooms, fuel etc. Insurance will be expensive - liability for someone falling in the grandstands, eating a bad hot dog, getting run over in the pits etc. It is too crowded here, people do not want a dragstrip near them. You might be in luck - they have been trying for years to open a dragstrip in MA, CT and RI.
