Nelson Ledges track in Northeast Ohio

[Ohiotj]

I wanted to pass this along for anyone interested in a cheap day of road course fun days. Nelson ledges is located between cleveland and Pittsburgh. This track has just undergone a management change and needs support. The course is not the best in the world as far as condition goes. However it is great place to run and is pretty fast. The biggest advantage of Nelson Ledges has to be the open fun days. You don't have to sign up in advance, just show up that day and pay around 150 bucks for the day. This way if your schedule change or weather sucks you will not be out any money. The track is popular with motorcycle community and they just did a reconditioning of some parts of the track. So if it's good enough for bikes our cars should be fine. If you do plan on attending make sure to check with their website before leaving as they are working on a slim budget and it has changed before without much notice. I have attended a few fun days there and the atmosphere is very relaxed and everyone helps each other out. Also there is nelson ledges park which is next door so if you have family they can walk around old glacier rock formations in a very interesting park. Some time this year I would like to setup an non official viper meetup there for a fun day. It would be a great way for the viper community to support a grass roots track. Here is a link with the latest info about the track. Look to the top right where it says nelson ledges update.
