Hello everyone - I wanted to take this time to give everyone a much
needed update on the status of the road course and some new happenings on
the off-road side of Rausch Creek.  
 
First the road course, things have definitely not been going as
planned, but we are still 100% committed to completing the road course.  
Currently our engineers are resubmitting the drainage plan to the state.  
All the concerns of the Department of Environmental Protection have been
met in the resubmit and we are now awaiting their inspection to allow
our construction to proceed.  This should be happening in the next few
weeks.  The original plan was turned down and the DEP mandated we stop
track construction and will only allow work to amend the drainage plan
until approved.  In the down time from construction of the road course,
we have solicited and gained support from local and state government
for the project.  Also the AMA has offered to support us in any way
possible with future governmental issues we might incur. Thank you to
everyone who has offered to support Rausch Creek.
 
Other happenings at Rausch Creek on the off-road side are proceeding
very successfully.  The MX and ATV park has continued to grow in yearly
members and attendance and the Tower City Trail Riders are expanding
their camping area and have signed an new multi year contract to continue
the lease on our property.  I want to thank Larry Missimer and John
Grodensky for all the hard work in growing these much needed motorcycle
and ATV facilities.  Also Rausch Creek is pursuing a off-road truck and
buggy park.  We have been invited to attend a Championship Off Road
Racing (C.O.R.R.) event in the hopes of building an off-road track and
bringing the C.O.R.R. series to PA.  The C.O.R.R. web site can be found at

Thank you,

I will believe it when I actually see bikes racing on a road course there. (I have a T-shirt from the Mid Atlantic Race Complex. You know what or where that was?)
