Was wondering who lives close to these tracks?
How long does it take you to get there?

They are almost at opposite ends of the state, so I don't understand your point of reference.

hi
43 miles for me , 1 hr 15 min towing car .

great tack !

25 minutes to Cecil 1:45 to MIR love both tracks !!

80 miles to both takes about 1:30 depending on traffic.

Could I ask you what town you live at?

Or what's a real nice town near by where theres decent property?
Any place about 45 minutes to the ocean as well.
Trying to get a feel for the area.
.

What town?
Sounds awesome.

You better be careful going to one of those tracks. Your going to get spoiled and never go to a slow track again. Lol 😂

Be carful both areas are relatively close to the bay. You just may give up racing and get a boat. The Chesapeake is just to great not to get out on in the summer!

Pick me a town where I can have both worlds and be pretty close to both.
Taxes are relatively cheap there compared to Pa. And the roads really stink here.

Southern Anne Arundel county "Davidsonville/ Annapolis area" A bit pricey but nice. This would be closer to MIR, hour or less tops and 1.5 to Cecil. Unfortunately Baltimore is kind of in the middle of the two and considering the congestion/city etc. I would not recommend it. Sadly Capitol Raceway is a great track too right in AA CO. 20 minutes from me but they are saying it might not re-open in 2020. That's a whole different story. Harford and Cecil county up north are nice Cecil is very rural and more affordable if that's what you like. As I have gotten older I have found I just can't stay off that water in the summer, its a whole different world but I still have cars : ) and love both tracks.

If you want the ocean and drag strip close by you could look at the DE beach towns like Bethany or Rehoboth. US13 drag strip is close by.
Most people I know want to leave MD not move here.

Why do they want to leave?
I was actively looking at Rehoboth.
My buddy lives there but I need to build a big poll barn. This is not an option.
I need to duplicate my poll barn.

It would be interesting to hear 440Jim's input on this. He used to live in SoMd about a 45 minute drive from MIR, but relocated to NC when he took early retirement a few years ago.

It would also be interesting to find a location in eastern Md roughly equidistant between Cecil County, US 13, and MIR, then start checking housing & property values.

High taxes, cost of living, congestion and anti 2A. Everyone I know here has an exit plan once they stop working. Baltimore city, PG and Montgomery counties pretty much run the state.
I am not a water person but getting to the ocean is a bit a challenge during the summer unless you are on the eastern shore. Bay Bridge is a nightmare.

This right here. Been here all my life, except in Charlotte NC for 13 years, cant wait to go back south. Stay out of MD if you can think for yourself. Most of the people here are idiots and believe all the crap those morons in Annapolis preach.

Is Delaware any better?
Or uh s it pretty much the same.
Found a few houses and taxes are only $1200 to $1500.00 a year. Are there more hidden fees I'm missing?

I am in Middletown DE. I lived in Milton, DE for 20+ years moved north 6 years ago. If you have a good retirement program and don't need to make any money lower DE is great. Taxes are lower property is not too out of control yet. If you need to work and make more then $15 an hour don't go any further south then Smyrna. The biggest problem living in lower DE is your an hour and a half to anywhere really. I like the Middletown/Smyrna area. You can commute to Philly or Baltimore in an hour and taxes are still reasonable property is getting high but still doable.

And yes STAY OUT OF MD!!!!!! I lived in MD until I was old enough to get out. My sister and mother both still live in MD. Taxes are ridiculous both income and property.

Maryland property tax depends a lot on where you live. I am on the shore and i am about 30 minutes to the bay, 30 minutes to the beach and about 40 minutes to US13 in delmar. It's roughly 3 hours to Cecil and 3.5 to MIR from here.
