    We won't really know until a change of ownership has been completed. The new buyer can do whatever they want with it.

    Well they're not likely to build condos or anything.

    All it will probably mean is that some other lucky bastard gets to go bankrupt trying to operate the place.

    Decided I wanted nothing to do with Chrome, back inthe early days when it wouldn't uninstall.

    Well it could start up the same ol' noise fights, with the locals. Might end up being a closed course. Rates could change. Might be bought up by someone who wants the land and has no interest in running a track. Lots of things possible.

    Maybe the farmers will buy it and the people of Kohler will stop complaining about the noise.

    I think that there were only something like five landowners, who constantly complained. Recip would know more.

    The Dragstrip was there before the wheel was invented and is grandfathered into the local bylaws etc.

    The road course is not.

    What he said. They would have loved to get rid of the dragstrip, before the road course went in, but there wasn't thing one they could do about it.

    Three tracks Grand Bend, Shannonville and Bogie catering to bikes in Ontario in 2012????

    Perhaps Recip with his millions will buy the place up.

    There didn't get a variance, before building the track. It isn't judgment proof and it's MORE noise.

    Different character of sound; intermittent and directional, and not pointed at the homes in Kohler. The noise from the road course is constant.

    When you go to a noisy event, you expect it to be noisy. When you're cooking lunch, not so much.
