Re: [ST] TSRA 2003 Eastern Rallye?

["Rod Brown" <rodneybrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I live in State College and agree that a game weekend is a total zoo.  Lots
of good roads, but they aren't up to WV level.  Now if you want some great
places: Athens, Lancaster, or Marietta, Ohio.   Went to school in Athens and
there are great roads all around it.  Marietta and Lancaster are good
jumping off points into the same area.   WV has Elkins, Fairmont, Bluefield,
Clarksburg, and super 3D roads.  You won't go wrong picking any of them.  If
it comes to Central PA,  there are a lot of other towns around State College
that could be an option.
