I would bring one up. I don't know if storage is an issue for you or not but we do have some fun places to go within a few hours drive. There is Nelson Ledges which is a road race course or Norwalk Raceway park for drag racing. Also we are not that far from Columbus and National Trail Raceway. I don't know what you like to do with your cars, but I am sure you could find something fun to do. Hot Rod Power Tour is supposedly coming somewhere near New Philadelphia on its way to Norwalk from what people have been saying.

I know there is a pretty decent car scene in canton. You won't be too far from there. Quaker raceway in salem won't be too bad of a drive if you're looking to hit the drag strip. If you're into road racing, mid ohio isn't too far from you either.

The Ames Performance Pontiac Nationals is the first weekend in August in Norwalk. They have a huge car show and drag racing event just for Pontiacs. Normally about 1000 cars show up for both events. I love it.

yeah dover is kind of a weird spot but you can find some things to get into around the akron/canton area. There is usually a cleveland vs columbus thing at some point during the year so you could pick a side there. We get a decent amount of people who travel up to cleveland from akron for some late night shenanigans.

Dover is a booming town! Well not really... but it does have it's own Dyno shop. Like Ricky said, there is some things to do such as Nelson Ledges road course and some drag strips. I highly recommend the road course, it is a blast and a fast track.
Plus, the hot rod power tour is coming near by in June, which Ricky and I will both be driving on.
