    Talking PA Racing?

    I have a 400EX and am thinking about starting to race it. I drag race with it already. Is there any good tracks in PA were a begginer could go to start out racing? Marineville isn't that far from me but is that a good place for someone to start out at? Also would it hurt to run a pretty much stock 400EX with some motor work? Thanks for any info.

    2. steel city in delmont pa (davey combs race track also mike jones)
