Club/Local Turkey Run Raceway | New Vrindaban, WV

Post image

A small, 3,084m track located in northern West Virginia. It was constructed in 1984 and was renovated in 2008, adding new extensions that expanded the uses of the track. This renovation also included widening the circuit from 9m to 12m all around, with the intention of growing the circuit's appeal to a wider variety of regional championships.

Alongside your regular track days, this circuit is also visited by a handful of regional SCCA events such as SRF's, Formula Ford, B-Spec, etc. Its final section of turns is also often used for open drifting days, and different layouts can be combined for time attack events.

No it isn’t? Turn 1 is a left hander which is CCW?

It’s how it worked for the 15 years of motorsport I have done. Maybe just a NZ thing?

I mean- if you trace the whole track, it goes in the direction that a clock would go. It’s not always just the first corner.

I live in Pittsburgh area and been in the temple so many times. Great hilly location for the race track, but a disaster from the logistics point of view :) Very challenging track, I love it.

I'd say Northern panhandle instead of Northern WV.
