What would it take?

Just remember you're dealing with broke-dick racers. There's a reason tracks have changed hands. There's a ton of reasons why it's tough,like you're limited to "nice weather" weekends only. Insurance, maintenance (a BIGGIE), manning it with responsible people, etc.

Yeah, from experience, it would take a small fortune. The yearly taxes, insurance, and sanctioning fees would be $2M+ per year. You would have to secure an NHRA National event, NASCAR race, and Dirt Series race to get close to breaking even. Would be cool though.
