I could be wrong but I don't think the one in Drums is still open for racing. I was just looking at their thread on here and it seems like nobody can get a definite answer yes or no if theyre still open.

There is also LCRC... Not really all THAT close to Schuylkill county but still worth the drive. I don't know what classes you plan on racing but there is also Bumps and Jumps indoor 1/10 scare track below harrisburg that runs short course and 1/10 scale buggies.

I have a small track in my backyard here by the Lancaster-Lebanon-Berks County border. Other than that, there isn't really any race tracks that I know of except Trains and Lanes in Easton

Feel free to stop by my place to bash some on-road with us on the 25th of August. Free to race, I supply the cars... doesn't get much simpler than that.

We run Kyosho Mini-Zs, Racer and F1, been around for years now.

PM me if interested.

As far as Schuyllkill County... I haven't seen anything as far as tracks go. Trains and Lanes is prolly your closest off-road. Shame they moved the Hobbytown from Rt. 61, that was a cool offroad track.

I heard that the Hobbytown in the Reading Metro(Wyomissing) is actually building a Dirt track..I do hope this is the case.

There is Grindlab in Camp Hill, Pa that runs on Saturday's, and Pit Stop Hobbies in Mt. Joy, Pa that runs on Friday nights. They are not too far from schuylkill county

Ehh, That;s still a bit of a haul.. I'm in the Process of making a track myself for anyone in my area that wants to mess around.

I race at Trains and Lanes often as that is the closest outdoor off road track near me. The Drums track closed a long time ago. There is also Barnstormers in Chester, NY. They have both outdoor and indoor off road. But their indoor track is 1/10 scale only. There is a new indoor off road carpet track in Old Forge called Dunn Raceway Park. I havent gone there yet as I am waiting for the outdoor season to end. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions.
