What would you guys think about a Nur type track in the US? Either East or West where the mountains provide the right terrain. 12-13 mile course that is open for everyday use like the Nur is, except on race days. And a 2 mile course that is open for series races and club weekends.
Yes, no, don't care?
I personally think it would be great.
Just my random thought for the day.

Yeah, that would be great!
But so would someone giving me a billion dollars.
I think both have the same likely hood of happening unfortunately!

How about get the track built before thinking about what will race on it?

lets see, that'd be what, about a 2000-5000 acre facility? so the land alone would be quite a pretty penny. then talking about the environmental impact report/research, thats going to take about 1-3 years to complete. so I'm thinking about 10 years out, all said and done, if you were to start right now. I estimate about $50million to $200million in costs.
Although, i think I could use a course like that.

And where you can drive up off of the street and run the course in a school bus if you want as fast as you can go. Of course mixing in with the crotch rockets and race cars too.

I can't wait to see what kind of flesh eating lawyers crawl all over the track owner the first time someone gets a hangnail at speed on this thing if it were built.

Such a facility already exists. Let's just buy Deal's Gap from the people of Tennessee & NC and charge $10 per pass
. I believe a hill climb event on the Dragon would be awesome!
Unfortunately, you're right about the legal stuff. You'd be putting your family fortune up for grabs if you opened a track or public road for public lapping in our lawyer infested country!
