Group Buy???
Im a bit worried about what might happen here. Its a great track, casual people and would be a big loss to see it sold to someone only out to make a buck.
Cheers

I wouldn't be too concerned here - HPR staff, Russell and Joanne have worked their backsides off to provide a racetrack for everyone to enjoy, at a price structure and social setting that makes the sport fun again.

As a result, its a great business and will be an awesome buy at any price.

All the very best to Russell, Joanne and family for future endeavours.

I think the $2m asking price would be out of reach for most.One rumour around is that an industrial co. is looking at it, but would still allow strip action.Apparently zoning allows several options. Rumours only.

Ive heard that a pretty serious drag racing outfit is looking at it quite seriously....hopefully it remains open to public!
