New Missouri Track

I was watching them build it on Facebook earlier this year. Definitely looked like it was going to be a good time.

I feel like I haven’t seen an update on it in a long time… but FB is good about never showing you posts from the things you actually care about.

I’m not a fan of how close the barriers are to the track, though. Maybe I’m just spoiled with MSR Cresson having tons of runoff though.

How long is the track – 3+ miles?

For a club track, the Armco and barriers should serve to temper driver craziness a good bit. That pit entry barrier though! I hope those tires were stacked there just for the teaser lap and not the permanent setup. If they don’t replace them with a proper crash attenuator structure, people will die there.

Ozarks International Raceway, a new multi-use racing complex featuring a 3.87-mile road course, dirt tri-oval, off-road and rally courses, is currently under construction at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, with a planned opening in the late summer of 2021.

Located at the junction of Highway 135 and State Road J, just outside of Gravois Mills, Mo., the new facility is being developed by PF Racing in association with Multimatic Motorsports, In addition to the race circuits, it will feature a 58-bay car garage made from renovated turkey barns that were previously on the property, which will serve as a fully functioning maintenance center for race cars.

Initial plans for the circuit include track rentals and test days, although the owners are also looking to host pro racing events. Visit the track’s Facebook page for more information and track diagrams.

3.87 miles with a ton of configurations. It’s awesome!

The Pesek’s (PF Racing in IMSA) are somewhat local and have dumped a fortune into it.

It looks a LOT like general layout of Thunderhill in Willows CA.

Someone with cut-paste-posting skills could show a comparo?

Kinda, I guess.

Said to open later this year, looks amazing. So many elevation changes, wide track, fresh asphalt. It’ll be a good time!
