Jamie, I've never been to the track at Cecil County.
I've been to Bud's Creek a couple times before and it is in the middle of nowhere, which is why I like it. The tech stuff there is the same as most places: Dead man's switch, helmet, leather jacket, boots, full leathers if you're faster than 10.00(I think).
Went for a ride with Lyle in Thurmont just this past Sunday. Either me or Lyle will e-mail you next time we go. Also planning to head to Ephrata, PA for the sportbike gathering on the first Sunday in September. I'd go this month but I'm heading to MIR instead. Again, we can meet up for a ride there if you want.
Rt. 15 is now my high speed testing area. There is a stretch after Gettysburg, I believe, that has a big hill in the median area with trees so that the other side of traffic can't be seen. It heads slightly down hill and is about 1 mile long. That's where I like to open her up. Watched the speedo zoom past 175 last time I was up that way.
