Awesome schedule! Glad to see Mont Tremblant, Monticello and the Glen.

BOD, thanks for the awesome schedule. I'm really looking forward to Monticello and will do my best to make it. Watkins Glen should be great in the fall and Tremblant is always fantastic in the summer.

Please note that we may actually *add* another event at an "away" track.

I like the sound of that as well!

Monticello Raceway is home to the New York Sire Stakes - the track's premiere racing event - held each summer, with close to $1 million in purses.

Harness racing! I hope you guys were very clear about what kind of racing we do!

kind of gives "chomping at the bit" a whole new ( err, old ) meaning...

Then there's the "Monticello Speedway is a 1/4 mile dirt oval located near Monticello, AR"

Ok, now I am really psyched for this event!

This seems more like it:

Looks like a curious mix of a high speed straight and some pretty slow corners. The straight is to let the fast cars scare their drivers and the slower corners to keep their country club clientele from getting hurt.

Wonder what i'll need for gears, I haven't changed my gears for 20 years now... Maybe a lower 1st and a taller 4th, sort of a painful combination on 106 20 year old HP.

I wonder if they give out those disposable white linen gloves, for working on your car, that I used to see the stock brokers using at Bridgehampton.

WOO-HOO!!!! Is it spring yet???

Did Monticello with SCDA this fall, takes a while to learn all these long slow compromise corners - here is a turn by turn discussion & video:

Looks like an "interesting" pit out coming through turn one.. and that better not be an eternal spring there either...
The corkscrew "esses" at the end of the back straight seems a bit odd as well. I guess you have to be there... I'm ready!

[Kai Noeske]

I dropped 4 wheels into the dirt in the esses after the straight - tried to carry too much speed and went into autoX turning rythm... it's at the end of part 3 of my Monticello videos.

It looks like I'm good for the away events listed, but I have schedule conflicts with NHMS 2, 3 and 4... Grrrrrrr....

Priorities,Troy,priorities!

Troy,

Trade your 3-Jul event with the 26-Jun SCMC date and the 9-Oct event with the BSCC 2-Oct date and we don't have to make priority decisions.

any word on the cost of the Monticello event? It doesn't seem to be listed on the registration site. Thanks!

[DanDarcy]

Prices have not been set yet plus we are still trying to add another event either at the end of March or the begining of Nov. at a track South of New England.

[Kai Noeske]

Yes Yes Yes pleeaaase!!!

As early as possible in the year would be awesome - I already have really bad track withdrawal!!!
