- INFO: is an auto racing road course located in Wampum, Pennsylvania. Pitt Race hosts amateur and professional automobile, motorcycle, and karting events. The track originally opened in 2002 as BeaveRun Motorsports Park but was renamed after it was purchased in 2011 by Jim and Kathy Stout, who also now own Virginia International Raceway.
Since then, a course extension which had been planned since the track’s inception was completed, creating three track configurations, two of which can be run simultaneously. Pitt Race hosts many different sports car series such as SCCA and NASA, as well as holding track days and open tests for both cars and motorcycles.

- HISTORY (by racingcircuits.info)
Plans for a road racing course near in Beaver County, north of Pittsburgh, began in 1998 when local attorneys Tom Wettach and Tim Silbaugh met for the first time and discovered they had a shared passion for motorsport.
he scenic rolling hills of Wampum, around 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh in Big Beaver Borough, seemed to provide the answer. Alongside its comic name potential, the area had a 384 acre plot near to a former strip mine that could be reclaimed for a different use. Featuring rolling terrain, it seemed to provide the perfect canvas for a circuit and the partnership soon purchased the plot and began planning for the new facility in earnest.
Alan Wilson penned a 2.780 mile road course, which would be built in two phases, with the northern portion coming first, and the adjoining southern loop being added as finances later allowed and the facility matured. From the outset, the plan was to make best use of the topography and create a course which would feature swooping elevation changes but provide a safe environment for amateur racers on two and four wheels.
It officially opened on July 1, 2002 as BeaveRun Motorsports Complex.
Into to its first year of operation, the new course proved popular, with track days, general testing and club events packing the calendar and leaving few dates without action taking place. In 2004, plans were announced for the project to complete the full facility through the addition of the south course.
In 2011 the track was bought by Jim and Kathy Stout, and re-branded as "Pittsburgh International Race Complex.
In 2015, the south course became a reality, some 12 years after it was first planned. The additional 1.2 mile course can be run simultaneously and independent of the longer original course, though the pair are frequently combined to provide the longer 2.780 miles full course. Additional upgrade included a 12,000 square-foot event centre, while in 2017 a new timing and scoring building was added. Both tracks were also repaved at this time, removing many of the bumps that had been apparent from the original construction .
