For years, Cumberland, MD was home to the National Road Autosport, hosting different motorsport events, including autocross.
2013 was the last year for autocross here, due to changes in rules and regulations at the airport they had been using for the site.
However, due to a numerous amount of petitions and lots of rallying, a decision was made to allow use of the location again, which means the motorsports are coming back to the area.
This is a huge deal for enthusiasts. It presents the return of a huge event, that brings spectators and participants from all around the area.
Normally, there are several annual motorsports events. This year began with the Polish Mountain Hill Climb on August 1st and 2nd.
Later this month, on the 22nd and 23rd, they'll be holding the Summer Sizzler autocross event. In September, on the 12th and 13th, they'll be holding the Harvest Moon event, and to close out the year, they'll be holding the Pumpkin Carve, on October 17th and 18th.
There are a ton of unique cars that you'll see there. Miatas, M3s, Corvettes, AMGs, Porsches, among many others.
The official website is located here. You can view information on past events, and register for upcoming events as well.
There are also a handful of videos on Youtube highlighting the events. Here's a couple different ones.
Definitely some awesome stuff. I'm unfortunately not equipped to participate, but I'm going to attend and try to get up close with staff and participants during the events. I'll also be taking videos of the different runs and putting them up on our Youtube page.
Be sure to check it out!
