Egad! How I HATE flash web sites!!!!

I was hoping to get there this year for a track day but... I'm going to have to settle for a drive up and take a picture outside the track

At least I have the address now Last time I drove up to Monticello I just drove around the area and thought maybe I would get lucky and see a sign like "Racetrack 2 miles" like when you drive anywhere around Loudon, NH or WG

I wish I had the 125K for their membership.

Nice track for sure. I hope they start renting it out to schools.

^ NICE!! Its probably 2 hours from Albany, so you and I may not need a motel. If Doug were instructing he could camp with either you or me.

I've already promised Doug my couch anytime he wants it Just be prepared for the cats to walk on you At least you are used to that.

One of these days I am going to cruise back up and scout out the track; now that I know where it actually is The part of Monticello I drove thru was a bit of a dive

I'm going to Moticello at the end of May for the full track. Last year we did a short course, but got to 'parade' the full course. We were the last car in the group and took the start REALLY slow. So after a few turns, we basically had open track! Only problem was, we were flying blind having never driven it and the sun was low (you can see from the video)

It's a great track! Only be smart and learn from us - don't drive it at speed when you don't know the track! There are a LOT of blind turns there. But the video should be able to give you a lay of the track.

Now I just have to get the car together!!!!

Do you have any idea what the track address is? The one listed on their web site is a downtown location... I'd like to at least cruise up and see the place since I am SO close by...

Let me know when you are going to be there. If I have any time free I will drive up and at least watch, if your group allows spectators.
