I'm quite sad to pass along that Crazy Acres is closed for good and up for sale. I sincerely hope, and I know I speak for a lot of other riders, that something changes and Crazy Acres can be saved. Thanks to Josh and Crazy Acres (and Trackmaster) for giving us a great track.

Here's the email from Josh.

Dear Riders,

First of all I want to thank all of you for being so patient while the status of the track has been up in the air, and many of you have been itching to ride.

I have been working very close with a few insurance companies to determine how much insurance coverage I would need in order to cover myself in the event there was an accident or injury. Unfortunately, the cost for the insurance exceeds the previous revenue that the track has generated in the past. Not to say that the track could NOT generate enough revenue to recover the cost of the insurance, but considering the amount of additional things that the insurance companies would require, exceeded my willingness to quit my job and work the track full time. 

Moreover, with the decline in the economy, and the fact that my income is proportionate to the residential and commercial construction, I have been forced to put my property on the market for sale. We have talked with Jason Merritt of Remax/Equity Group (503-495-3570) and we will be listing it on the market within the next week or so. If you would like any additional information regarding the property or the listing, please contact Jason Merritt. F/more if you or anyone you know is looking for a piece of property that has a nice track on it, please forward this e-mail to them.    

So…. basically what it boils down to, is that the track will not be open at all, to the general public for the 2009 summer.

Regretfully,

Josh Merritt
