Track looks nice and appears to be a great deal.

Any idea of the builder or lap length?

Very tempting, unfortunately it is about 5 feet longer than the space I have available which I am sure will be the issue for most.

Taking 5 feet out four parallel sections (assuming they are, as they appear to be) wouldn't be crazy difficult, other than you would then have to move the driver's panel.

Hello Mike,

Unfortunately I don't know the particulars of the track. I believe it was moved here from another shop in PA. It is currently up and running, but unfortunately the main partner in the raceway recently passed away and the shop is reorganizing. I posted it as a favor.

Norm may be able to answer what I don't know.

I just talked to the guy who owned it here in SoCal and he says it's 180 or 185 ft.

When I created an ENTRY for the raceway back in 2014, I listed the track as 150' long, although I don't know my source for that number. I agree that it looks longer than that.

Freddie, it would be nice if you could expand on "the shop is reorganizing," so I can keep the Raceway list accurate and current. Is the raceway still open for business?

Pretty sure that is one of mine. Look under the drivers panel, should be my name and a track number under there.

We also stamped "Made in Canada by Steve Ogilvie Custom Tracks" on every track section and leg on the track. US customs requirement, but on a lot of tracks the legs and track undersides got painted later and covered the stamps and sometimes my signature.

Cheater,

The shop is staying open. They still have the oval and the dragstrip. I'm not sure what else they are changing.

I'd appreciate being kept in the loop in terms of the changes to the raceway.

Sorry to hear about your partner passing. I was there for the Penn-Jersey race a bit over a year ago.

Greg, I will.

John, not involved in the shop other than being a customer and part-time competitor.

Just posting the track to help get the word out.

Hi guys,

Before I even think about it, is the track still for sale?

Thanks,

Guys,

This item was reposted here by someone who is not directly involved.

If you need to know if the track is still available, my suggestion is you call the seller, Norm, ID'd in the first post. He's the guy to ask IMO.

Hello Folks,

A quick update. I was at the shop this past Sunday and this track is still for sale. They just put in a brand new drag strip to go along with the oval, a Carrera track, an HO road course as well as an HO dragstrip. Just the Engleman is for sale. They seem to have some type of racing going on every day except Monday when they are closed.
