Hey all,

There are plenty of tracks and clubs in NOrthern, Ohio that support on-raod racing. But where are they and when do they run?? Heres a general site to discuss where the racings at this spring and summer. If you race at a track that you think no-one knows exists-post here or get the track owners to sign onto Hobbytalk and start posting.
