I was just checking out the PRP website and it looks like a lot of activity is taking place. New and more seating and they are also adding more lanes for the cars. Thanks go out to the Tedesco's for providing a great place for us to race. The link provided has lots of pictures of some of the work going on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pghracewaypark/6806891577/in/set-72157628483222501/

It would be nice if they could extend the shutdown area, it's very very short...

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

That track seems to be making upgrades almost every year. Lots has been done since Keystone.
I am glad to hear about the staging lanes upgrade, that was a bottle neck.

They should upgrade the gaurdrails to concrete and make it a safer place to race. And get rid of the parking natzi. Only been there once. won't go back! 2 much hassle.

i'm just glad to hear the place is still there and operating, i use to race motocross there as a kid in the early 70's and we had our 9th grade school picnic or graduation thing there, be thankful you guys have that place so close to home, just closed a couple tracks around here in the last couple of years, go figure, so cal where it all started and no place within reason to have alittle fun.
