ASCC
Akron Sports Car Club is an independent club that runs most of their events at the newly constructed Dragway 42 site about 40 minutes west of Akron. Their events are a bit unique, as the courses feature higher speeds than a typical AutoX course while being laid out on a series of service roads. It's somewhat of a mix between TrackX and AutoX. Usually 5 runs or more. Passengers are allowed, but usually for a $5-$10 fee.
Karting
Three Rivers Karting
Opened in November 2018 and located at the Leetsdale Industrial Park off 65 just outside of Sewickley, Three Rivers Karting also provides year round seat time in electric karts. These are the fastest electric karts in the area. They also have a few different course configurations to keep it fresh depending on the season and/or day of the week. All necessary equipment is provided as part of the rental, and pricing is typically $12.50-$20.00 per race.
Pitt Race Kart Rentals
Pitt Race also offers kart rentals on its world famous .82 mile Wilson Circuit. While these are gas powered karts instead of electric karts, these aren't your typical "Fun Fore All" style karts, as these reach speeds up to 45 MPH. Be sure to check the hours on their website, as the track is frequently rented out for private events/practice and is used for national karting events. All necessary equipment is provided as part of the rental, and pricing is typically $20.25-$22.50 per race.
