Just a notion. Need smart people to iron out details., Co-Op Race Track/Tracks. Options

Had this notion driving round town the other day. I Googled it but couldn't find anything on the idea. The way I figure, most sports car enthusiast would love to have a place to stretch their cars legs and test the boundaries without fearing the law or flying off the road into some trees, a ditch, a house or people for that matter. Sadly, where I live anyway there isn't a road course to be found for some 300 miles. And even then you can't get on it without spending a fortune and being there on the right day. My idea, as nieve as it may seem is a road coarse built by the people (funded anyway) for the people. The people being common Joe Shmoe's like ourselves. The concept is pretty simple. You'd have members chip in an initial amount to get the track constructed, then an annual membership fee to keep it maintained. You could then set up a schedule of sort so the track isn't over crowded on any given day (this is one place you'd smart people would come in). There would of course be rules in ordinance with all safety requirements. I think the best place to try such an endeavor would be out West, say California where there's a large sports car community present. But, I supose it could work in a number of places. Keep in mind, I have no idea how much it cost to build a race track or what kind of red tape you'd have to cut through. Anyway, just a thought. Thought I'd try and get the snowball rolling down hill and see how big it got. Thanks for reading. I'd love to hear any input on the topic.

As far as the insurance and liability thing goes. I'm no lawyer but technically, anyone driving on the track would be a partial owner( that's how the whole co-op thing would work). So I'm not sure how it would work out suing yourself for crashing on your own track. I'm open to input from any lawyers here, as the biggest hurdle would be all the red tape.

...I'm not sure how it would work out suing yourself for crashing on your own track. ...

Figure the suit will be a wrongful death and loss of lifetime income filed by 'the estate, heirs, and assigns of...'

Do you think owners of co-op apartments and condos cannot sue the corporation for mismanagement, malfeasance, or hazards resulting in death ?
