Have you ever made a trip to your local dragstrip and really felt that you could do a better job of running things? Well more often than not the chance to actually make that happen are slim and most of us could only imagine what we would do if it did. Pressure from local authorities are all too often making moves to close up dragstrips around the country. So when the opportunity comes along to keep a track open by buying it we sure hope that it falls into the right hands and not some home developer.

Lawton, Oklahoma is the home of the Sooner Motorplex which sits on over 60 acres land. The dragstrip hosts an array of events under the sanction of the NHRA. It is a all concrete eighth mile dragstrip which also has a strong following of heads up racing. Terry Zimmerman has placed an add out with the track and its land for sale on Racingjunk.com on Monday of this week. Really what seems to be a very reasonable price to operate your own dragstrip.
