The Nelson Ledges Road Course in Warren, Ohio is set to change ownership, and the new owners plan major revisions to the existing seven-turn, 2.0 mile road course and the facilities on site. Scott Lane, President and General Manager of the facility, said in a telephone interview with Roadracing World today that the sale is in its final stages. “There’s a 99 percent chance that it will be sold, pending some final environmental reviews and some last details,” Lane said. “We expect that the sale will be finalized within a month.” Lane declined to identify the buyer at this time, but when asked what changes the new owners intended for the track, Lane said simply that the changes would be: “Major. Major. Everything will be new. New track, new surface, new buildings, new facilities, everything. It will be part country club, part race course.” Nelson Ledges has been a regular stop for WERA National and Regional races, as well as for the Fasttrax local motorcycle road racing organization. However, its bumpy surface, high-speed layout and lack of run-off room at some of its more daunting corners have been the source of controversy, and in rainy conditions, some riders have refused to race, citing safety concerns.
