I hope somebody works the race track for him if not another Mansfield.

There’s a saying about polishing a turd, that was Mansfield. Beautiful facility, not a bad location, problem was, they used crap dirt.

There’s nothing you can do to a dirt track if the dirt is crap other than get rid of it. If it’s got a bunch of rocks, it ain’t good clay anyway.

And seeings how Sharon got their clay from the same place as Port Royal, and Port Royal is top notch, it’ll be good. And Sharon has been very good too. I’ve not been to Port Royal, but the surface at Sharon is their same make up, and it’s great.

Can’t wait to get to Port next Sunday for the season opening race!! Super sprints and super lates!!

The clay at Sharon is not the same as the clay at Port Royal. Sharon’s clay came from the Lernerville area but it was the track crew from Port Royal that reshaped Sharon and placed the clay.

If I remember correctly I thought I had heard a while back that Cody owns a micro brewery. I could be wrong though.

Big half mile

Ok. My brother has run there forever, and we are friends with the GM. But I honestly never asked him flat out. I had heard or seen in there write up where I swear they used Port Royal’s supplier. But if ya know different man, gotcha. Either way, Sharon is very good now.

After some Googling man and texting my brother, unless you hauled the stuff in, the surface and way it was done were both from Port Royal’s people.

Everything about the Port Royal Speedway is first class. The two motels in Mifflintown aren't that big, and both charge pretty high prices considering that they're an EconoLodge and Super 8. However, the alternatives are Harrisburg which is a hike, and State College, which (unlike what an earlier post said) is almost 50 miles from the track.

Burnham isn't much further than Mifflintown and has better restaurant options IMO. There are 2 hotels there.

Anyone have a feeling this event may be cancelled before it ever begins??
Seems Cody is kicking rocks (stalling).
I mean it's March and nobody has any info industry wide.
That's a great way to kick off trying to promote a new "big race" event.

Yeah I was looking into reserving a hotel, might try to find another event. I really want to see a race at Port though. Hope something comes out very soon.

I'm sure many are in the same position.
One thing is for sure, this seems to have nothing to do with Port Royal. Fine facility and I'm looking forward to watching on LORTV if this does happen.
