NASCAR legend spills on grand plans for $400M luxe California race track resort reveals what membership will cost
NASCAR icon Boris Said is going into overdrive with ambitious new details on his massive $400 million motorsport playground — and he is naming his price for entry into the high-octane Lake Elsinore club.Speaking by phone from Mexico — where he was taking a breather ahead of the Baja 400 off-road desert race where his son, Boris Said Jr., will compete — Said revealed that joining the ultra-luxe Elsinore Ring country club will run drivers roughly something “in the neighborhood of $300,000.”“It’s like a private golf club, but for people that love to collect cars and drive cars on the track — the way they would be intended to driven from the engineering standpoint,” Said told the California Post.The heart of the 300-acre development is a 3.2-mile, 22 turn circuit built to FIA Grade 2 standards, with three different configurations allowing separate portions of the track to potentially operate at the same time.
The world-class track would be capable of hosting major racing series.“We could have some IndyCar races there and NASCAR if they wanted to,” he said.Unlike other country clubs, membership will be capped at 450 drivers — and treated as a transferable asset that members can later sell at market value.Surrounding the asphalt will be six structures, each stretching 525 feet long by 100 feet wide, housing 275 luxury garage condominiums.
The units feature 1,300-square-feet of ground-floor garage space — imagined with enough room to house between six and eight vehicles — and a 1,300-square-foot living condo above it.There will be 12 top-tier penthouse suites with a third floor.
Select residences will facilitate chopper access, and be equipped with rooftop helipads to allow wealthy owners to touch down directly above their care collection.While the garages and trackside condos are separate purchases that can be split among friends or occupied year round, membership is strictly limited to one person and their family.
