Lease for what purpose?

I can't believe it finally happened. In the back of my mind I always knew this day would come.
I guess my racing season is over before it even began. Atco is too far and costly for me to go to all the time. They also run points on Saturdays which is no good for me since I work Saturdays. Island I will never race at again. My one and only time there was not a pleasant one. I think I may just sell the Firebird. Or I need to move.

Why there, is their yard close to the track?

I wonder if they considered any backlash by renting Englishtown?

Copart is a huge company, they sell totaled insurance cars world wide. They are leasing the land the track is on to store cars and run auctions. They are not busting the track up. I think they still have the motocross and drift track.
For 75 million over the next 15 years, I would have leased it too!!!
