UMI Acquires Race Track for Product Testing & Events - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Many of you may have already of seen this, we had got some really good press exposure when we sent out the press release. We were on Summit Racing, Popular Hot Rod, Circle Track Magazine, Performance Racing, Lateral-G and a few local papers. So I apologize if you have already seen this.

But if you haven't heard the great news here it is: UMI has purchased a local 5/8 mile asphalt oval track that we are currently revitalizing and converting the facility for autocross and short course road course events. In order to accomplish this we are repairing the infield into a better flow as a 'roval'. The track pavement is in good shape and it's fast, it's the biggest short track in PA. The facility features grandstand seating, bathrooms, go kart track, pit buildings and will make a great facility for events. Paving should be starting spring of 2018.

Our goal at UMI was a test track, somewhere unrestricted that we could test product, cars and set ups at any given time. Also an area where it is possible to run the same exact track to see what improvements helped and what didn't. When looking at this facility we learned the fit was excellent and only being 20 miles from our current facility it was perfect. But we also realized this track would be more than just testing, it's an opportunity for events, track rentals, road course etc and that is what we plan do. For 2018 we already have the UMI Autocross Challenge scheduled and a Rusty Wallace Driving Experience.

If you would like to learn more I posted links below, please check them out. We are very excited about this (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
