My husband has been informed that somewhere in the Commonwealth there is such a thing... that would be fun to straighten a curve, maybe flatten a hill

 

pa is kinda big. where are you? there's pocono of course, then there's a new road course in engishtown nj, and another nj road course in central jersey...but i forget it's name. phillymini.org is a good resource as is MONJ....that is if you live in eastern pa. i think they both have trips to jim thorpe. sorry, i don't know whats shakin' in the western part of the state.

 

Beaver Creek I think...near P'burg(h)

 

It's Beaver Run...

If in like Philly or South Central PA Summit Point near Harpers Ferry is fun. Once you get addicted make the run to VIR. Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen.

 

oh yeah, the new jersey one is in millville http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/
englishtown, nj is http://www.etownraceway.com/
pocono http://www.poconoraceway.com/trackinfo.asp
and one i didn't know about, but looks interesting (?alpine pa) http://www.alpinesignature.com/roadcourse.html
let's motor!

 

I remember a private road course was built in the Pocono area. It was like a country club, you would sign up for garage space....

I dont recall what happened to it..


I know the Andretti's were involved...

 

it's the alpine. $500 deposit to reserve your membership!

 

Not sure if ya noticed but Alpine has a "One Time $40,000 membership deposit, One Time $4,000 membership fee, and is $5,000 per year (set for the first 2 years of course)"

 

sounds reasonable to me. now that country club membership doesn't seem so bad....time to clean off the clubs!

 

There are several good road courses in PA, that have been mentioned previously. However, every back road in PA is a road course. You don't have to drive at 10/10ths to practice shifting, apexes, etc.
