A row (on both sides of the pit road) of fully paved behind the grandstands the whole 1/8th mile, then several rows up the hill of paved pit road.... was new last year so it was dirt at the time (but could parallel park the race car on it), but I assume it's had time to get some good grass grown on it since last fall.

If you go to Google Maps and have it in Satellite view, just look up Tioga Center, NY, then follow Rt 17C northeast out of town until you find Skyline Drive. Follow it up and you'll see the track. There's been additional pit roads added since that satellite image.

Has anyone tried taking RT 220 through Pa to NY?

Michael Beard · 08-02-2009, 09:36 AM

I went that way last year. A little windy, a little hilly... but it's central PA, so I suspect you'll have that regardless of the route. Didn't bother me... I didn't think it was bad. I would go that way again. I-81 is probably a good bit further for you, and has its share of mountains, but you can usually get a good run on 'em. I don't know what traffic/construction is like on I-81 these days...
