Anyone know of any other track besides "The Gate" in Clevland and the new track in the Woodville mall in Northern Ohio?

Looking to do some various on-road club racing around the area this winter instead of going to the Champs.

Anything within 2 hours from Norwalk OH is what I am looking for.

Might be a few tracks off the beaten track that everyone does not know about.

:thumbsup:

Man I wish the posts did the automatic e-mail notification automatically.

FT Wayne is a little far for all the time racing but I want to come out a few times and run for the special races and maybe a few club races.

No co-pilot yet. I am still trying to plan on coming out and running - I have wanted to run the off-road and on-road tracks for a year or two.

Just was wondering if any other track were around. Used to be one in Sandusky OH way back in the early 90's that was a decent carpet track but has long been gone. High Level Raceway - was above a warehouse area - hence the clever name.

I would venture into starting a track up in or around Sandusky but not until I know racers would show and be enough of a income to keep the track above water, pay bills and have money for upgrades. God knows how many empty buildings are around my area!!!

Unfortunately work, new truck and timing are not in my favor.

I will make it out sometime in the near future. I am also swapping 1/12 scale chassis so I have to get the new one dialed also.

They hold a few different big races right? Thought they did.

I also have to save some $$$$ for the trip since the new truck is a 04 quad cab dodge ram 1500 with a Hemi - likes to drink gas!!!!

WELL that stinks.....Hope you can make the next one....with that truck you didnt need a co-pilot as mauch as you need a finacial partner to help cover the burden of gas prices :p ..... :wave:

If you are talking about Summit Raceway in Fort Wayne, IN, then yes. They have a full hobby shop at the track.

It is pushing the 2 hour drive, but there is MSI Racing & Hobbies in Roseville, MI (just north of detroit). Not sure what you run, but VTA and 17.5 rubber is real big. Also 12th scale, oval car and truck, as well as some run 13.5 rubber and some foam (if enough people show up for foam). It is a big track, about 40x100. Wednesday is the biggest race day (starts at 6:30) also sunday (starts at noon). Well stocked hobby shop also.

I want to run my 18r up in here. Cleveland never seems to have a 1/18 crowd unless its BRP. The 1/18 touring has been growing in other areas though. Toledo has a whole night of 1/18 only, but thats further than I want to drive.
