    Maybe located in MD as a mid-way point to draw PA/DE/MD/VA/DC enthusiasts?

    All it needs is a track. You can't sit in the garage ALL day. :)

    Spots available at Millville. Start at 60k and go up as high as your imagination. Plus you gain access to a swimming pool. One mile outdoor go Kart Track .Tennis courts. A club House. Two Tracks and opening this year. Field of dreams a Motorsports track for dirt bikes and ATVS.

    Would an indoor/outdoor go kart track suffice? Maybe a club lounge w/big screen for F1 viewing?

    BTW, I don't consider NJ to be in Mid-Atlantic region and it isn't particularly geographically desirable to the DC/VA (or MD crowd). I think something closer off the I-95 corridor in MD/VA area would be more appealing for this area. Or, perhaps something near Summit Point, WVA track?

    There can't be too many tracks for recreational (track day) use. :)

    Someone tried to establish a club track at the old Bainbridge Navy base above Port Deposit, MD, but the Navy had used it for a chemical dump and by the time they finished cleaning it up the track developer had given up. Other groups are using the site now.

    Thats a curious statement. Why do you say that? NJMP is 35 mins from the base of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Its maybe 1hr 20 mins from the Fort McHenry tunnel to NJMP. Virtually all highway until you cross the bridge into New Jersey.

    Actually, about 25% of New Jersey (including NJMP) lies below the Maryland/Pennsylvania border (if extended eastward into New Jersey).

    By most definitions, New Jersey is considered to be part of the Mid-Atlantic states.

    My mother was from Baton Rouge, LA. My uncles said I was a Yankey, well, damn Yankey. I said that Salem, NJ is South of the Mason-Dixon Line, but because it is also East of it they said it didn't count. :)
