- Nelson Ledges Road Course is a paved automobile and motorcycle racing circuit in Garrettsville, Ohio which first opened as a dirt track in 1958. In its current form, the track is 2 miles (3 km) long and consists of seven major turns. Nelson Ledges Road Course became a pioneering facility in amateur racing, starting programs that quickly became standard at racetracks around the country including tire barriers, a wide use of driver schools, member days, and showroom stock endurance racing. Much of this programming was spearheaded by General Overall Director John McGill, who took over management of the track that was considered "ghost-track status" by the end of the 1960s. In 1975, the Sports Car Club of America created the John McGill Award in honor of these contributions, an award that is still given annually to recognize significant contributions to its Club Racing Program. The track has seen major investments by its current owner, Brian Ross Jr., who purchased the track in 2015. In addition to races, the track also holds car control and safety clinics. (en)
