Unfortunately, there is a local water supply lake over the hill behind the trees in the first turn. Been there since long before my dad opened the track in 1983. The EPA has been concerned about erosion into the lake from the track and for years we have been trying to do all of the things they require. It's gotten to the point where it's impossible to keep the gates open and keep up with all of the work that needs done, especially since we are involved in so many other things now.
Fortunately, there are still a lot of good tracks in the area, but I'm sorry to say that Steel City has probably run it's last race.

Your right! But this is PA. Even places we practice at on private ground are being shut down. I live in central PA. I have only one place to ride, and it's on a farmers piece of ground. Tough to set up a place on your own property today. And you dare not let anyone know about it.That's bullshit. How many power plants in cleveland dump into Lake Erie.
was at Big Game Mx about 6 weeks ago and Mile Jones was there. I asked him what was going on with Steel City MX. He told me it was done. He told me it is EPA government stuffSure it does not have something to do with the fracking in the area. That is far more lucrative than running an mx track. It was a rumor we heard several months ago.
That's so true we need dang liberals out of the damn office!Its the Liberal government SLOWLY getting little things in place, that one day people will wake up and say "remember when we were allowed to race dirt bikes in the United States". People need to wake up. VOTE and know who your voting for. It is not republicans pushing for these stupid ass EPA regulations, it is the liberal democrats. Wake up people.
What we need is moderates or Independents. There has to be neutral ground. Right wing is TOO fanatic and Left wing is TOO fanatic. Granted we have to protect our water, our land. As it is much of our water is still being polluted. Look what happened just recently. Did you know that drinking water is at such a high that even China tries to sneak water out of our country. Their water is polluted because they did not take care of it. It would be wonderful if without regulations BIG companies would not cut corners and POLLUTE!!That's so true we need dang liberals out of the damn office!
