yeah my roommate mentioned MIR and i stumbled across capitols website. have you been to either one of them? and yeah, Whitehall is next to Allentown. Ive heard people talk about maple grove but was never really sure where exactly it was. and as for Cecil, Ive never even heard of that one.
There is also Numidia Raceway and Beaver Springs Raceway. Welcome to the site.
