Cletus and Victor NEED to host events (open track nights, test and tune, etc) every weekend once the new houses are built and the developers have Open Houses planned. Nothing will set the expectations of prospective buyers more than hearing exactly what they are buying into.

[@matt7164]

Why do y’all assume that the homeowners will be non-racers? Just like people who buy a house on a ski resort likely ski, and people who buy a house on a golf course likely play golf, and people who buy a house with a community runway likely fly, It’s logical to assume that the people who buy a house next to a race track will be racers.

[@matt7164]

If anything, cleet needs to team up with those developers and start marketing the subdivision as the raceway villas or something like that. Attract retirees who like to race
