I just came across some unfortunate information for many of the North Carolina/South Carolina riders. Moto-Vated Sports Complex in Gaston, SC is currently having an issue with an investor and may become one less riding facility. I have the link posted below that came from their Facebook page. Let's hope this place will not close to the public.

Now suddenly there's a GoFundMe for them to not lose their home??? Something doesn't smell right about this..

The podcast interview kind of explaining more of the situation... so sad.
Hopefully someone can put a deal together. That guy will work tirelessly to make it work. He’s worth the investment.
I wonder how much land you get for the 700k? Does anyone know?
Hoping for the best for donnie.
But it's pretty cut and dry, their lease was up and the property was purchased by a new owner. Donnie found out about the new owner when he went to negotiate what he thought was going to be a lease extension with the previous owner. At first the new owner was interested in keeping the property and helping them expand, hence the "investor" and big things coming chatter. Well the guy had a change of heart and now just wants the property for himself as a personal playground.
I feel for them because they seem like genuine people but the reality is when you are leasing a property it can be taken away from you at any time. Hopefully they can pinch their pennies together to purchase some land and build the facility they want so this doesn't happen to them.
BTW anyone know land property prices in that area? In the podcast they mentioned they have a week to come up with $500k for the DEPOSIT on the property. 300 acres must fetch a decent price there.

Actually, the property was sold right as their lease was up, new owner didn't want to continue with the track as a public facility and didn't offer them a new lease.
Certainly wish them well and seems like they are good people with good hearts. But $$ always talks and the people that own the land or have the money to buy the land call the shots
that's from the update posted on the gofundme.
There is a track south of Fayetteville NC, Wide Open MX, the current lease owner is wanting out. I wish these folks could get it. That area is starving for a good track.
