Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
Has anyone been on the hummer test track at Nemacolin yet? The dealership where I bought the H2 rents this out once a year for their customers to play. Was wondering what it was like down there.

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
It's a very cool concept. The resort is extremely expensive however. The trails are short and semi challenging for a moderate driver. Experienced drivers will find it fun once, then it gets old. Newbie drivers will absolutely love it.

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
They have a lot of kewl stuff there, I read about it and wanted to go early last year. They have paintball, golf, riflery, chocolate, culinary classes, a killer spa and the little hummer courses. If anyone plans on going lemme know please. I won't wheel but I will prolly take some massages after a paintball war.

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
I know I am going to take flak on this, but I am really not interested in getting my truck into a situation where I am going to damage/scratch the paint or bang it up...i know...what did I buy a hummer for....if i did participate in the Nemacolin thing, is it something that i run the risk of damage or is it fairly safe?

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
I worked there for a summer. There's about 14 miles of trails, and there's certain places that are more challenging than others. If you're looking for a challenge, you can get the H2 out on the "H1 - Only" parts (if they'll let you). And if you're in your own vehicle, they're more apt to letting you push the truck a little harder than their own.

You're pretty safe -- they're good about clearing the paths out so branches don't snag and scratch...

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
I just call it riflery. Anything to do with shooting for sport that doesn't include bloodshed. Leave me alone.
I said I prolly won't wheel because I am picturing waivers, rules and log obstacles. Kinda like a HH.

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
I think marksmanship is the word you seek, range time and target shooting also work. Sporting clays is a good one too.

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
Which dealer did you get your new Hummer from? Wright's or Cochran's? Maybe I'll catch you there for the next outing.
BTW The Shooting Academy is a sporting clays facility rivalling anything in the US. Joe Hardy knows how to spend $!

The GM at #1 Cochran is really nice...and you're right about Mr. Hardy -- anyone w/ enough money to buy a performance from Hillary Duff for his daughter's 8th birthday party, on top of the carnival rides, etc, must not have it too rough..

If we can get a group to go, we're in. It's been talked about in the past, but nothing has come to fruition.

Re: Nemacolin PA Hummer Test Track
Mikejr, I've bought all mine at Wright's. They deal a ton better than the other place in W PA. I've been to a couple of their outings but not too the Nemacolin one yet. They had it in Sept last year I think. I'm in DuBois (pronounced like Michael Jackson lives here!) I'll keep an eye out for you at the outings. Joe
