Go to www.hoppsswitchback.com for harescramble races. Some are non AMA sanctioned which means you don't have to join AMA to race. Great place for a racer to learn the ropes.
Also, the are two GNCC races held in Pa that I know of.

I race at switchback all the time. Its about a 3-4 mile loop. Its ROUGH. Nothing real chalenging on the track, just pretty well beat up track. If u like XC and MX at the same time, u would enjoy Switchback. Its not a bad track. And plus he pasy back pretty good:D

Is that the reason almost all XC riders there run 23"Fronts and 22"rears? :eek:

I think you do, but check with them. I always have one so it was never a question. The harescrambles are alot of fun. Just treat them as a trail ride and you'll love it. Be safe and have fun. Let me know how it goes.:)
