MOTM - Jul '18, Nov '16, Aug '14, May '13
Another track coming in the Northeast

Could we be seeing some kind of Renaissance? First the NY Safety Track, now this. This one is convenient to NYC, Boston and Providence.

It's actually an old facility but they're renovating.

No word that I can find on motorcycle track days, but I'll bet they're in the works.

Now, if we can only get Skippy to open Lime Rock to bikes.....

Andrew, Tonys track day has already confirmed they should be holding days at thompson. You know where i live though, its 2.5 hours to NYST or 2 hours to there, so its not saving me much time either way! Next year im going to try and do both tracks if i can get the gear.

You're not riding fast enough.

I think someone on nesr has 5 sets of leathers for sale. I borrowed some for 2 years and got some this year. Lots of folks willing to help others with stuff here and there.
