For those of you headed to the track from the south on I75 here is the route I take to the track, which I think is a easier and quicker route. You can take I280 to avoid a possible stopped train on Pemberville Rd. There is construction on I280, but I don't think it a big deal. This route will take you to the rear entrance of the "mall".
TO EVERYONE COMING, the main entrance to the "mall" is closed! You need to continue to Williston Rd. (SR 579), there is a stop light at the corner, then turn left. Take Williston for ~.25 miles and turn left onto E. Plaza Blvd. Take this until you see the back entrance on you left.

Some "construction" on I-75 from the South
For those of you headed to the track from the south on I75, GOOD LUCK! I will warn you now; there is some fun filled construction in Ohio... From Lima to Toledo they have started widening I75 to 6 lanes.
Here is what I do know:
Lima, Ohio starting ~122 mile marker you will get into construction that can get backed up a little. The last time I went through there the construction ended ~127 mile marker.
Findlay, Ohio starting ~158 mile marker you will get into construction until ~160 mile marker. It hardly ever gets backed up, but there has been some really cool wrecks (no one has been hurt).
And for the most fun filled construction.....
North Baltimore and north. Starting ~167 (I think) you will enter what can be very nasty construction. I have seen it completely clear where I set the cruse at ~60 to a 10 mile back-up. This lasts until somewhere ~187 mile marker.
Please don't let this change your mind on coming; once you get here you should have a very good time!

I will be attaching a highlighted map tomorrow. We will also be posting signs directing racers to the track.

GPS DIRECTIONS
Trying to figure out what address to plug into the GPS.
Is 3725 Williston Rd, Horthwood Ohio43619
The correct address to get to the track?

That is the correct address for the mall. I will be posting some directions shortly. Also we will be putting up signs that say GLC with an arrow on them to guide you in. They will be white signs about the size of garage sale signs.
