The asking price for the Grattan track and property is around about 7 millio=
n. It=E2=80=99s been for sale for several years now. Luckily they want to se=

If anyone has 7 million+  laying around, I=E2=80=99ll quit my job and run th=

It would be my dream come true.=20
It is a great property ...
Some vision and many upgrades would help it Triumph.

If I remember correctly, it went up for sale in 2019. Initially, the asking
price was in the $4 million range, but now it is make offers. Not all of
the family wants to sell. The article says it was recently repaved, some
parts were, but not all of the track.
