Are you a realtor? Agreed it sucks when another track is lost. I get it, business is business, if property becomes valuable you're going to make a go for it. You didn't like me calling it greedy, but its still unfair when shady practices are used to oust the current user(s) and acquire it. That's all I'm saying.
Outgrowing Wilksboro??? Have you seen Martinsville? It came down to there were too many races in North Carolina and fans went to where the thought the best races were.
I'm not a realtor, but I did think (very stupidly) that I could open and run an RC track on Long Island. I spent a lot of time researching everything I could about the hobby business. I found out very quickly that commercial real estate had it's own set of rules that didn't make sense to regular people. Around here landlords would rather keep a building vacant that rent it at a discount. The number of vacant properties is staggering.
What you consider shady is actually standard business practice
