Funny!
I've been on that autocross track and recognize the guy from BeaveRun.
We like going out there to "almost Ohio".
Wampum reminds me of the South Jersey area I lived in as a kid. They "talk funny" sort of the same way.
And man, houses are really cheap out there. Decent ones for under $100K. In my area, that doesn't even pay for the garage.
Also, P'burgh is really a nice town these days.
I hope the track makes it......I think they have had more than their share of financial difficulties in the first few years.
I like the circuit, but not everybody does.
The first couple of minutes of ~this~ were taken at BeaveRun.

:lol:
Can't seem to find the vid now, durnit...
I grew up a few dozen yards west of there, "out in the country" then. "RD #2, Wampum" was the address. Mother was our Drill Instructor and we were specifically taught a flat mid-western English enunciation. If we drifted into "dees, dem an' doze" she would "fix" it. Swiftly.
She liken'd it to talkin' with a mouthful of, mmm, *stuff*. Profane language was discouraged but not nearly as much as was dropping consonants. :wink:
