Running at Mid-Ohio

Come Run with us at Mid-Ohio!

Our final Drivers Education event of the season at Mid-Ohio held will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Sep 15 and 16. Sign up early, we’ve sold out this DE the last 5 years! We’re again limiting the number of students to 100. There will be a lapping day for experienced drivers on Friday, Sept 14th. We will be renting garages so you can hide from the elements – be it sun or rain!

The ARPCA is a very active group. In addition to the on-track activities we also have:

• Dinner on Saturday at Bucks. You will enjoy yourself being able to relax with both old and new friends!
• A “spouse auxiliary” that coordinates off-track activities to antique shops, flea markets and wineries.

Track Information

As you probably know, Mid-Ohio road course is one of the great auto racing facilities and is nestled in the rolling hills of Lexington, OH. The track opened as a 15-turn, 2.4 mile (3.86 km) road circuit run clockwise. The back portion of the track allows high speeds. A separate starting line is located on the backstretch to allow for safer rolling starts. The regular start/finish line is located on the pit straight. In 1990, the track underwent a refurbishment. A new retaining wall was built, the entire track was resurfaced, widened, and concrete was paved in the apexes of the turns to prevent asphalt deterioration. In addition, a straightaway was paved through the chicane, allowing for two different track layouts, the original 2.4-mile (3.9 km) circuit, and a new 13-turn, 2.258 mile (3.634 km) circuit. In 1990, the CART series began utilizing the 2.258-mile (3.634 km) layout. In 2006, a second major refurbishment saw several improvements. The entire circuit was repaved, and the concrete patches in the turn apexes were removed.
