How much would it cost to build a motorcycle track?

Answer 1

Imagine the cost of building a house, and take it up several factors of ten. How much does it cost to build a house and how many factors of ten? Glad you asked. Let's look at a few things. There are a ton of variables that make posting a cost of building a motorcycle track something that really can't be done. A few hundred thousand might do it, or you could burn many millions. Location and the cost of land in a give area will vary, and you're handicapped by land use restrictions and permits. It's cheaper to build in the middle of Nevada than in, say, the Hamptons. Permits and construction costs vary by location, too. And there is no such thing as a slam dunk environmental impact report (EIR). How big a track has something to do with the costs as well, and with a bit of thought you can see this and the other things mentioned. Additionally, you can skimp on amenities or pull out the stops and put up a complete hospitality center on the spot, including a hotel, restaurants and shops. It doesn't hurt to dream big. But words like "real estate" and "land use and development" and "financing" better enter the picture. If you're the person who wants to sit on one of the superbikes and scream around a track at ludicrous speeds, then you're probably not the one who is dreaming up a big track project and looking for ways to make it happen. Anyone who builds a track will attract races and riders (if you build it, they will come). But riders generally don't become track builders. Success demands a bit of specialization, a bit of focus, to improve the odds of achievement. May you find that success, whatever your path.
