Here's my scenario:
A job change gave me the opportunity to move back to new orleans, la. New orleans is a special snowflake of a housing market, in which if you want a garage ( like im used to in nashville), you better be prepared to pony up close to a million for your house if youd like to live in new orleans proper.
The other issue that you face is the potential of another katrina type event, which every car insurance company will remind you of.
In comes a newer track that is 25 mins away from new orleans. Its a place called nola motorsports park. 2 road courses, 2 different carting tracks ( kids and adults), autocross pad, restaurant onsite, 24 hr security, 24 hr access and a slew of other features including an onsite speedshop with dyno!
I ended up leasing one of thier 500sf units with electric , compressed air, 20 ft door, the works.
They do tons of events too for bikes, cars, carts, scca, nasa, etc.
If any of y'all come down this way, let me know. If you want to get out on the track, need a spot to turn a wrench, want to do an event or whatever, drop me a line. I can also offer a place to stash your trailer that is safe if any of y'all roll through and want or need to drop it somewhere to explore new orleans a bit more easily. Same goes for wanting to park an rv with water and power.
Im super excited to be able to actual keep going with my project instead of putting the car into storage for a year or more.
There are about 60 garages full of likeminded individuals on premise. Im hoping maybe once I get settled that I can do an event there. The management there seemed super exited when I tossed the idea out to them.
Anywho... sorry for the rah rah. I had fully expected that I wouldnt be able to touch my car for quite a while, so im pretty psyched that I found an alternative that was doable.
