Detailed guide
Pittsburgh International Race Complex, affectionately known as Pitt Race (and formerly BeaveRun), was one of the premier motorsport facilities in the Northeast. Located in Wampum, PA, the 400+ acre complex featured a world-class 0.82-mile karting track (The Wilson Circuit) that hosted major national series like USPKS and WKA. It was renowned for its dramatic elevation changes and the challenging "blind" uphill corners that defined the circuit.
Status: Permanently Closed
- Closure: The facility officially closed its gates following the conclusion of the 2025 season. The final public events were held in November 2025.
- The Reason: In October 2025, owners Jim and Kathy Stout announced they were "stepping away" after 23 years. The property was sold to a developer, with widespread reports confirming the site is being converted into a Data Center.
- The Site Today: As of 2026, the tracks (North, South, and Karting) are no longer operational for racing.
