    While browsing ebay recently, I ran across a listing for a 'pre-opening' membership special for this place: http://www.competitionridge.com/intro.html
    Has any one heard of this place or seen it? The concept has merit, but their website makes my eyes hurt.
    And the lack of photos is rather suspicious..
    <_<
    Anyone have any info on it?
    Think that once everyone moved in, they&#39;d be bitching about the noise??

    Neat Idea,

    Kind of like the live on the golf course places. I know that they have aviation communities like that in Florida and Arizona too. Seeing as how airports and aviation get&#39;s the same rap as race tracks, I&#39;d think it&#39;d be doable. No excuse for not knowing you live next to a race track, and it&#39;s probably part of the home-owners association, probably pay maintanence fee&#39;s with your property tax. Still lack of photo&#39;s and it&#39;s on e-bay I&#39;d be suspiceous, and would want to see infrastructure first.

    This track deal has been around for a while (3 or 4 yrs at least). The web site is diferent and the last version I recall stated that the road course and oval would be separate (this one says they are combined). This web site indicates the track would be close to Lake Havasu. I believe the the last web site indicated the track would be north of I-40 closer to Kingman.

    I found a few photos on the site of the track being built.

    Looks like a cool idea and homes are cheap(at least compared to so cal). But it says you pay a $400 membership a month and get 4 hours of track time??? If I live on a track I want way more track time. I would come home from work for luch and do a few laps.

    Hopefully it will have open track days since its not to far from where I live

    So what are the winters like there? We&#39;ve been kicking around ideas for someday retiring to a warmer place, and FL isn&#39;t all that appealing... <_<

    The winters are mild by anyone&#39;s standards....it&#39;s the summers that are slightly cooler than the surface of the Sun.

    I have in-laws in Havasu. According to the weather channel.com today was in the mid 80&#39;s. July-Sept temps will have highs between 110 and 120--lows at night around 95....yeah that&#39;s fun.

    Property is cheap unless you can see water. Bullhead City is cheaper than Havasu but has a large percentage of folks who are into a different type of Speed.

    Whadda ya expect. Lake Havasu is almost next door to Death Valley. I wonder if there is any water within 5 miles (down) of the home sites? Not unusual in that part of the state for there to be no ground water available at all.

    The idea is cool, but it&#39;s waaaaay more than I could ever afford.
    Other than 2 cases of Jolt and duct tape, what could we possibly need?
