It's amazing how tall grass and weeds can grow. The area kind of looks like a walking dead episode lol.

Apparently, the rain washed out an area on the side of the main blacktop road that exposed the water line and someone ran over it during the Dixie run and crushed it. The line was fixed but it is still exposed and the run off damage still needs to be repaired.

There's a ton of upfront maintenance needed!

Met with the guy that has been working the park for years. He said I was the 4th person in the last 3 weeks to come look at it. He thought one of them was supposed reach out to Jayne today and make an offer.

Where does that leave you? Too much work or still interested?

Did he say if the other interested parties were going to keep it an off-road park?

@patman  - it depends in what I can get from the bank.

@xjcrawler- he said they all were asking if he would stay on so I'm assuming all interest is to keep it for off road use.

I did learn a few things today. The current owner and her late husband are actually the 2nd owners of the property. The original owner that built the park, which is the lower section put it up for sale when a kid got killed on the go cart track.

When the Randolph's bought it, it was popular for its baseball fields. For some reason, the Randolph's, decided to get rid of them and put in the race track. The race track was in business a little over a year. Due to lack of maintenance the racers stopped coming.

A few years later they (Randolph's) purchased the upper section, which is where all the trails are.

Interesting info, Chuck.  I have searched many times for old ads, pictures, etc from when it was an amusement park, but no joy.

Anthony also told me that he had recieved a lot of calls from people wanting to hold events there. People like Toyota, Land Rover and even Harley Davidson, but the lady would never do it because she was scared of getting sued (makes me wonder if she had insurance on the place). He said it was an act of God that she let the Dixie run take place last year.

Does anyone have experience with what it might cost to redo a blacktop road? I would say the road leading to the top is about 1/4 mile long.

Chuck, I think a two lane street costs about a million per mile for a government.  I'm sure that includes surveys, studies, under the table payoffs, etc.

I'd actually see if you can get a quote via takl. 

Here's some more info:  https://www.angieslist.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm

Driveways on a slope or ones with odd shapes or lengths can add to the cost, contractors say. For example, an asphalt driveway that runs a quarter-mile long can cost up to $50,000, according to CostHelper

I think it just needs resurfacing and holes repaired and something to correct the drainage.
