The Longest Year

For the past fifteen years, whenever anybody asked me what my "home track" was, I always replied with "Nelson Ledges Road Course." True, Mid-Ohio is closer to my house --- but Ledges was where I spent dozens of evenings and weekends learning to drive, shaking down race cars, and performing the occasional Camry e-brake turn.

There's been no end to the speculation surrounding Ledges since the facility closed last year, but the new owners have a Facebook page up and have shared the above video. "2016 will be a rebuilding year," they say. Let's all hope the rebuilding happens on schedule. Ledges is most famous for "The Longest Day", an SCCA enduro that's been held there for the past fifty years or longer. I'm sure it will return, right after this longest year.
