If anyone has a spare $700K laying around the Dolaca dragstrip is for sale. It's out in the country (read: middle of nowhere) but is a first-class place. Until the mid '90s it was an Air Force secondary runway and a standbye landing strip for the space shuttle.
Dolaca is a quarter-mile strip on about 520 acres. It's solid concrete and about 12,000 feet long. The pit area is about 1300 ft and the shutdown area is about 1.5 miles.
The facilities include a timing house and a concession stand/storage and office building. All lights, an Accutime timing gear system, and a sound system are included, as is an outfitted ambulance. There is a secondary facility that was the base firehouse. The facility could easily be used as an engine shop or garage.
Dolaca is located approximately 25 miles southwest of Lubbock, TX in the middle of cotton country.
The pit area is locoated on the overshoot pad at the south end of the track. The small building on the northern entry road (just west of the taxiway) is the additional building that was the fire station.
