Camden is south of Interstate 70 real close to Indiana. Don't remember what route it's on. The track is still in use today.

I was there in 70-71 with my Big J Lancer, hummmmm, actually when I was there it was just a IKF divisional(1970) and the next year was the nationals....,,,the track was just north (??)of Dayton just off I 75 & I 70 real close to the Indiana border........

There was Eaton Ohio also. It was in the fairgrounds. Walked it once after they stopped racing there. Could not see it from Rt 70 or 75

The first track that I had my initial karting experience was north of Westfield, N Y off of rt. 5 near Lake Erie. My friend and I saw Bobby Allen race there in 1961. The other one I remember was in East Concord, near Springville, N Y. Both tracks were smaller paved road courses. Sadly, they no longer exist.
