Need help finding road courses and drag strips....

[01coolblue]

Ok, I am new to the area and I trying to find all the street race tracks and drag strips within a 120 mile radius from Yardley, PA.
So far I have...

Englishtown, NJ - Raceway Park
Millville, NJ - Coming soon
Long Pond, PA - Pocono Raceway

List name and city please.
I know I am missing some downhill drag strip and another road course in Harrisburgh, PA.

Any help is greatly appreciated and I know that there are a few people that spend too much time on the internet and would love to help out... cough... PETE!... cough..cough.. :thumbup:

okay well ATCO raceway in Atco, New Jersey is one that you missed. Its a quater mile, but i heard they do auto-x in the parking lots. If you really want to know all of the tracks.....pm or just talk to Jay (Evo MR), he races almost every weekend and know TONS of places.

If you reall want some fun you can start rallying like me and Jim. In that case there are about 4 rallies coming up in Rochester, NY. I know its far, but its worth the drive

There's supposed to be a world class track opening in Millville NJ in 2006.
I would be all about a track day at an actual road course, like Watkins Glen or VIR. There's also Cecil County and Beaver Springs for the 1/4 mile guys.
It better snow soon to take my mind off of next spring and racing.

[WKderF]

dont threaten me. :devil:

[01coolblue]

I could have sworn that I read about a track over by Harrisburgh but I might be wrong... as usual. Oh well, this just means that we need to make one for ourselves! :thumbup:

mike just taught me how to quote, so just in case you wanted to see the 'quater' reference, it should be above this? :roll:

[01coolblue]

Hey Pete!! post some of that info about those rallies!! who are they with? rally america or what? i have given up on finding any more tracks

[teh DIRT]

w00t! charles has seen the light. Ok these are not with any sanctioned organization per se because you arent really "racing". These are road rallies where the TSD format is used (Time.Speed.Distance). Your goal is to arrive at each checkpoint at a given time, if you arrive early or late...you will be penalized. Anyways they are lots of fun and you dont have to be uber-serious about it. Me and Jon just flew (safely ofcourse) through the entire thing and had a blast. Here are the upcoming rallies that i MIGHT be attending.

The Snow Flake Rally on February 5th is the one that i hope to attend. Other than these, i dont know of any others. My source is Jim, he always lets me know about the good rallies. You can PM him or just talk to him at a meet.

Hope this helps

Atco Raceway is a good one, I am there every Thursday once they open for the season. Only thing I hate is that they make u drive through the water, unlike at Englishtown u can go around it. I run on street tires so it sucks. I'm sure the slicks and drag radial guys love it...LOL

I can't wait for the track in Millville to open...anybody know when this will happen?

I also heard that Dover Raceway has an open track every now and then, I would love to open my car up on there. Anybody know the specifics of that?

[01coolblue]

The Millville track is supposed to be operational by the first of the season 2006. www.njmotorsportspark.com Yeah I am excited for it. Thanks for the info.

[jin240sx]

that's looks nice. go to the track and afterwards hit up the shore :cool: wonder if they will have drifting events like they have at beaver run. and what is this downhill quatermile? i never heard of one.

[leeden]

Where do I find info on rallycross events?
Hell just tell me where there's a nice gravel lot...

[01coolblue]

I hear that they are going to try to put on rally events and drift events. no promises. As for the downhill 1/4mi, I couldnt think of the name of the ATCO track but I heard people call it the downhill track since some say it is slanted. I dont know myself if it is but called it that since I didnt know the name.

[jin240sx]

oh. yeah atco kinda is on a slant. i thought they were talking about like something crazy. nevermind. rally and drifting. that would be nice.

[teh DIRT]

a rally-x course would kick arse!!
