If you’ve ever had a hankering to own and operate a drag strip but have just been waiting on the right deal, you just might be in luck.

Steve and Darlene Daniels, the current owners of the Bunker Hill Dragstrip in Indiana, decided to hang up their hats at the close of the 2014 racing season, and have placed the state’s oldest drag racing facility up for sale. The Daniels’ have listed the eighth-mile facility lock, stock, and barrel, with the 20 acres of land, the drag strip itself and the the complete timing system, the OutPost restaurant, all rolling and non-rolling equipment needed to conduct racing operations and the bar/grill, plus a three-bedroom brick ranch-style house a 40×60 shop building, all going for an asking price of $650,000.

With such an offering, not only can you operate a drag strip, but you can live at one, as well, which will certainly save a lot of money on test and tune fees. Because you own it, and it’s right there, so why not, right?

Bunker Hill, located just over an hour due north of Indianapolis, was second only to Stout Field as the first organized drag racing facility in Indiana, and is now the oldest track in operation in the state at some 59 years. The historic track was previously owned by the well-liked husband and wife of Jim and Mary Hullinger — mother and father of current NHRA Division 3 director Jay Hullinger.

According to the Daniels’, minus the OutPost restaurant, the property plus the structures and equipment appraised for $500,000 in 2010. An adjoining parcel, which contains the Bunker Hill Speedway dirt track, is also listed at a sale price of $250,000, with a discounted price of $850,000 for the two pieces of property if purchased together.

With 59 years of history, we can only hope that the potential buyers on both Bunker Hill facilities has racing in their blood, because our sport can’t afford to lose anymore of the race tracks that helped to mak it what it is today.
