Scrolling Through Sale Listings for Race Tracks Is About to Be Your New Favorite Pastime
Scrolling Through Sale Listings for Race Tracks Is About to Be Your New Favorite Pastime-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

Sometimes, you’re simply in dire need of online entertainment, but your list of websites to refresh has gone stale. No one’s listed a vehicle on your local in 10 hours. Your favorite car websites haven’t published anything in—gasp—25 minutes. and you’d rather not check it.

But fear not, friends. There’s a new, exciting internet activity to occupy your time: searching race tracks that are for sale. It just as fun as scrolling through car listings, except it’s completely impractical and totally out of your budget.

Actually, that sounds a lot like scrolling through car listings.

Anyway, posted on Wednesday about a three-eighths-mile Florida dirt track for just under $800,000 on a commercial real-estate website called LoopNet. The listing said the property comes with $400,000 worth of equipment and an on-site apartment with four bedrooms, making it kind of a steal as far as the prices of race tracks go.

That wasn’t the exciting part about it all, though, since most of us can’t exactly pull $800,000 out of our pockets upon seeing a race track listed online. The cool part was the realization that all of the race tracks we probably shouldn’t buy are listed alongside all of the crapcan cars we probably shouldn’t buy, right here on the wide, wide web. (This was, in fact, one of those “Why didn’t I think of this earlier?” realizations. Thanks for asking.)

All you have to do is pop “race track” into the advanced search feature on the website, and you’re free to dream about all of the —or the solo track sessions—you’d have if you went ahead and bought one. There are even .

Sure, we’re all just setting ourselves up for failure by scrolling through multi-million-dollar race tracks we can’t afford and probably wouldn’t want to learn how to operate successfully anyway. But it’s fun to dream, and diving deep into a rabbit hole of learning about random tracks for sale is a good way to pass the time while every other website is letting you drown in your own boredom. You just have to fend for yourself sometimes, you know.

And, of course, if you end up buying one of these tracks as your own private lap facility, remember who gave you the idea to look them up in the first place.

Elton John released the album Rock of the Westies all the way back in 1975, featuring the duet with Kiki Dee — Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Today's VW Westie rocks a 1.8T, but will its price have you singing don't go breaking my bank? A 78% Crack Pipe vote...

Ford's forward control E100 pick up was a cool truck despite its modest engine options. Today's '63 offers up a 434 Chevy mill to address those performance issues, but even with that it's still kind of a drag. When it comes to Porsche 928s, fully 80% of you want to...

Climate change remains a controversial subject these days, but if it's not yet warm enough for you, maybe today's Celica Sunchaser will light your fire. And perhaps its price will make it a hot commodity. The hot pits is where you might find the 58% of you who awarded yesterday's...

For $8,500, is this 928 just right?
Upfront prices for 928s are all over the map these days, as can be their commensurate condition. Today's 5-speed S falls about right in the middle of the pricing pack, but does that make it an unconditionally good deal? There was little that was conditional about the love of yesterday's...

For $15,800, is the V for Victory?
Cadillac debuted its revamped styling meme with the CTS, and they re-established their performance creds with that car's rip-snorting edition, the V. Today's contender rocks it in new Cadillac style, but for this particular one, does the V stand for value? It used to be that doctors drove Cadillacs. Not...
