Tracks - Racetracks which may be used someday by scooterists

These tracks don't currently host motorscooter racing events, even though they may be excellent for that purpose. There may be several reasons for this, but probably the most important reason is that nobody has ever approached them in a serious manner. If you want to race, and you live near one of these tracks, go for a visit. Attend some events there. Talk with the people who own or manage the place. Race tracks are businesses, and must make money to survive. If you can show the track you're serious, and you can bring in some money, or you have the potential to bring them money, they'll listen to you.

This track is the most perfect racing surface I've ever been on and it's just about a mile in length with various racing configurations. The track is 26' wide making it the widest Kart track in America. There's plenty of room for passing, and elevation changes that keep it VERY interesting."

The web site is extremely informative. An excerpt from the track layout page: "The West track (0.988 miles) was specifically designed to be very technical and quite slow to serve as a prime venue for race schools. The East track (1.18 miles) is much faster. Combined, the two courses become very fast, technical, challenging and extremely interesting 2.235 mile national standard track."
