New rules for Maple Grove Raceway competitors

[Chris1529]

"The local police advised us they would be ticketing any unlicensed vehicle riding on or crossing over the public road adjacent to the track. We don’t want our customers to receive citations, hence the rule."

Wouldn't it be easier to ask the police to look away for the weekend? I mean how much trouble does it really cause a handful of weekends per year? I haven't been to Maple Grove for a while, but I hardly believe it is a hazard for unlicensed vehicles to cross a two lane highway. I could see if they were trying to cross the PA turnpike, but not one of the country roads near Maple Grove.

What if I had an amish horse and buggy and wanted to cross that road? There is no license on them.


Where I come from, riding four wheelers, UTV's, etc. on and across public roads is the norm, not the exception.

If track owners and operators truly want to grow the sport, dreaming up these rules certainly won't help that out one bit. I think they are listening to the ambulance chasers too much and forgetting who their customers are.
