Pitt Race to close

A message from Jim and Kathy Stout -



When the checkered flag is thrown, the green flag is waved for the next race. Pitt Race has been our passion. We strived to make Pitt Race a premier motorsports destination. With much thought, Jim and I decided to step away from ownership of the facility. We thank our loyal customers, our dedicated vendors and sponsors, the unwavering supporters, and mostly our dedicated and passionate employees. It's been a fun journey and ride.


Very sad to see a world class facility fold like this, especially considering it's only a 1/2 hr. from my house and for almost twenty years it's been our playground.

I'm sure it will be missed by anyone who has raced there.

 

Sad I never made it out there

 

Very sad. It is unclear what the developer that bought it plans to do with the land. That is not the greatest area. Not close enough to Pittsburgh to attract commuters. Nothing around it to support a large housing development.

 

The prevailing rumor is that it's going to be a data center.

 

Wow, thanks for sharing. That's interesting and makes even less sense. I grew up about 20 minutes from there. The closest power plant has shut down. There is nothing around that area to interest the type of people needed to run a giant data center.

 

Except, of course, money.

Pay folks enough, they'll make it to work anywhere.

30 minutes to downtown Pittsburgh?

30 ish minutes to Youngstown, Ohio?

Not a killer commute.
