     Updates on Existing/New/Future Tracks:

Anyone have news about existing or proposed tracks?

Road Atlanta, near Braselton GA was repaved in early 2007; last repaving was 1992. The track was built in 1970 - great trivia to sprinkle into your paddock conversations. :-)

Legends Motorsports Club is a proposed track one hour from Atlanta. Located on a 600 acre pacel, the plans include two 2.5 mile tracks, clubhouse, vehicle storage, and covered garages. You can read about their extensive project and memberships.

Roebling Road, near Savannah GA has been repaved and re-opened September 2006. The new surface is lovely and very gentle to tires.

North Carolina Speedway (Rockingham) has new curbing in the infield road course! (See photos.) The new curbing was a joint service project of Tarheel Sports Car Club, Triangle Z Club, North Carolina Region SCCA, and Hurricane Region PCA. Not only does the new curbing/kerbing look spiffy, the track stays cleaner. SPECIAL REPORT: Andy Hillenburg was the successful bidder at the October 2 auction of Rockingham. He plans to host professional races and schools. Andy is a racer (not a bean-counter, thank goodness) and has Fast Track Racing school in Charlotte, but probably moving its homebase to Rockingham.

High Rock International Raceway, near Salisbury NC.
A conditional use permit was approved 9 August by the Town of Spencer Zoning Board Authority. This allows facility construction to begin. Projected opening is Feb 2008.

proposed road course, near Louisville KY. no name, no URL, no news

Dragon's Ridge, near Williamsburg VA. Another unfortunate design by Alan Wilson. Can't someone stop him? What a terrible waste of perfectly good paving material! No updates on this proposed facility in several months. Anyone have confirmed information on the current status or expectations?
