I love racing.  I used to do it on the amateur level and had a blast!  My older brother, Bill, also raced.  He raced off-road cars and when I was young, he won both the Baja 1,000 and the Off Road National Championship in his class (at one point he also held a world speed record, which he set in a specially prepared Lotus).  I still follow motor vehicle racing very closely. Two National Championship motocross events are held near Scranton every year.  One at Broome-tioga, near Binghamton, and the other at Unadilla, which is northeast of Binghamton.  Both places are about a 90 minute drive from Scranton.  I started to once again attend these events a few years back and couldn't believe how much fun I had.  Locally, we have an amateur racetrack at Clifford, which is about 20 minutes from downtown Scranton.  Even the amateurs are a heck of  a lot of fun to watch.
