I also heard it was postponed again but anyway I have gone to Maple Grove and Drove back roads up from there. whatever you do don’t do that!!!!!!
now I just go for 495 to 476 up and then over but man that one hill is pretty brutal 7 miles long or something like that

Rte 80 was the best if you can get there from where you are

Rt. 322 North to 11/15 North along the Susquehanna River. The road splits in Shamokin Dam, continue following 11 North to Rt. 42, and 42 South will take you right to the track. There's a pretty big hill right outside of Catawissa heading towards the track on 42, other than that, it's a pretty nice drive on mostly four lane highway.

Cal,
Really no way to get up there without hills, about the only thing is to Minimize the hills.

The way we take from (Southern New Jersey/ Philly Area):
476 up to the Pocono Exit and Route 80
Take 80 all the way to Buckhorn Exit and exit 232 (If you get on 80 you can take this way West or East)
Get off there and take route 42 (There is gas stations & a Wal-mart if you need to get fuel or shop)
42 becomes route 11 and you are on there for maybe 1/4 mile and then jump back onto 42.
You will take 42 into the little town of Catiwissa, there is a lot of stop lights in town so when you see the split (42 & 487) stay left and make sure your on the GAS as you will hit a good sized hill....not sure of the grade but, it's a winding hill and you need to make sure your going pretty fast. The Hill will split, bare left as the right side will take you to Knoebels. Going down is a pretty good steep down.
Once you get over the hill, the track will be on your left hand side about 2-3 miles down from the hill. There will be a Blue sign on your right that says Numidia Dragway, once you get through the cornfield, track is on your Left.
