Nazareth Raceway may be gone, but there are still some great roads there!!
Jordan White, one of our new Club members, has created a new drive for us that ends in Nazareth!
Nazareth Lives
When - Saturday, October 24 10:00 a.m.
Drivers' Meeting: 10:20 a.m.
Depart: 10:30 a.m.
Where - Wawa 3820 Nazareth Rd, (Easton Nazareth Road) Easton (New Starting Point!!)
This is the intersection of 248 and 33
Event Leader- Walter
Length- 3+ hours (98 miles)
The route takes us under a covered bridge which is part of the LHV covered bridge tour. Super nice. There are many very twisty windy roads that are so much fun, and here and there small portions where it’s windy in parts and with straightaways.
As for the comfort break, we would pass Slopeside Pub @ Blue Mountain approx 2 hours into the drive. They have a public restroom and there’s a perfect area overlooking the valley to take photos, maybe even some great group photos.
The planned route has us returning back there where we could finish with a stop at Red Robin, which is only minutes away, for whoever wants some food & drink at the end, or anyone who wishes to end it there is of course free to do so. I will inform RR about our group.
This event will follow the current Pennsylvania rules for COVID-19 safety. We will require that all participants maintain six-foot social distancing, and we will require masks to be worn when not in our cars. To avoid common handling of materials, we will email the directions to participants, for home printing, and we will eliminate the usual paper sign-in sheet. Since the sign-in confirms your agreement with LVMOC’s standard Waiver and Release, we will now consider your post to this event thread, indicating that you intend to participate, to be your “electronic” signature, indicating your agreement with said Waiver and Release (copy available on request).
This drive will be limited to 15 cars, including the leader, with priority given to paid LVMOC members. If the 15 car limit is not met, we will open the drive to non-members.
We will use FRS radios for communications. Be sure to arrive at the departure point with a full gas tank and an empty bladder .
Attending: ALSO- if you would like to stay and eat with the Club afterwards, let us know when you sign up. We will eat at at Red Robin.

What a great drive yesterday. Thank you Jordan for putting it together for us. Sorry to hear you need to quarantine. I hope you do not get COVID.
I’m all good. They think it was a mild flu or something. Out of precaution I did stay in the house for about 9 days, and I feel fine actually a little better than usual. I love this time of year (November is my favorite month - just not the rain).
Looking at upgrading my NDs exhaust and getting a rear strut brace. The car continues to amaze me with how balanced it is as a sports car and it’s fantastic fuel efficiency. Having 181 horsepower and pulling a low 14 in the 1/4 mile, it gets as good or better gas mileage than the Honda Fit 5 speed I had years ago, which had 106 horsepower and handled like a boat. Lol. The MPG and the telescopic steering, which is the first Miata to ever have that (starting in 2019) is wonderful. Only issue is the paint is easily susceptible to chips, and I’ve read about Mazda repainting ND2s under warranty bc some are really bad.
Glad to hear you guys liked the Nazareth drive!! I’ll be signing up for another one soon. I’ll have to check the schedule.
