You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Well thats at least my thoughts. Nelsons could pull clients from Cleveland but I dunno. Beaverun is basically Pittsburgh’s home track with it being fairly close, yet the membership thing never really took off. Keep in mind beaver is also very far from being “done”. South track & planned housing near the track have yet to be built. BR mentions on their website that they are trying to pick up the security training contract again, which was a big cash cow for them last time. So if they get it I’d look for some action around the track again.
I’ve also read the place might close up in September and reopen sometime next year. I plan on hitting one of the open days/Fun Days in August just so I can run the “old track” one last time. Sure the track surface is bad but I actually enjoy driving there.
Alot of the road racers I know are pretty much telling me if you don’t get on the track by August then your out of luck. NL cleared out their schedule for the rest of the year as far as club races were concerned. I like the old surface too. Granted its bumpy as hell and I’ve wrecked on it before, but its seriously a huge rush lapping that track. If I were you I’d do the Fun Day in August just to give it one last go before they make it wider and you’ll never have to use your brakes ever again lol.
