Milan Dragway Has Been Sold?

[Krazybones]

If he can afford to buy the track but not have the means to get it in shape to be a working track then it is doomed for failure.
A business would need capital to make it work (Grounds Maintenance, taxes, payroll, etc..).

How can you buy a track with no means to make it work? I call BS

Yep sure his pocket book is pretty empty after sale

Maybe he just wants some quick help…or lots of help, and again no one knows whats the benefit of volunteering, I guess maybe just doing a good deed works for some, but others have to be paid lol

onondaga got the track fixed up, with volunteer help, and now it seems to be running smoothly, and making income

New milan guy has lots of free help it looks like

Track diehards there

Cool nothing wrong with volunteering, but to make it work long term a business cannot rely on volunteering.
If that is what people want to do then sweet!
Maybe if I lived close to the track I would feel differently and want to help the rich guy out that I don't even know.

Or - you might get to make a pass if you go pull weeds...

That was my thoughts as well.

I don't know, if the guy just bought the track I'm pretty sure a full time crew hasn't been put together yet. If this is true, and there was a chance of having a few weekends of track time, let the volunteers do whatever they can do. I myself would sign up but my wife is having full replacement knee surgery on the 24th and I will be with her to help with her recovery.

I believe in volunteering, I have volunteered at several organizations over
the years. The only thing I find odd is volunteering for a for-profit company.

Every organization I volunteered for was a non-profit. I could see volunteering
for a for-profit company if there was some kind of disaster. I guess helping to
preserve a company (Milan Dragway) could also be worthwhile, by proof of
folks already lining up to volunteer.

I agree. I like to think that he is just trying to build a sense of community. Also, being as the place was in bankruptcy, there may not be a lot of profit in the business, it may be more of an expensive hobby. That guy in Lapeer has literally spent millions - doubt he will break even for years, if ever.
