    There is more than one location for the offer. At the time of this post, the Boston groupon page shows it still available. However, who the heck knows what the real availability will be at this point.

    Re: NYST groupon

    I went through basically the exact same thing on April 1st and Ill tell you exactly how I feel about it. This organization is a fucking joke and doesn't know shit about how to run a business. I got my 2 days booked and that's it, I wont deal with them ever again beyond that.


    As for if any groupon are left. Who cares? Why waste your time and money on this nonsense at this point.

    1. Called the track early March to get info on how it worked, i.e. redemption, registration, etc.
    2. I was told I could get the deal over the phone directly with them. I would then email or call for dates. After paying with cc over phone, my account reflected 2 track date credits + prem membership.
    3. When I first emailed about dates, victoria wrote that the bookings would open April 1 (which I thought was true for everyone at the time). On April 1 I eagerly emailed about requesting the 2nd weekend in May... to my surprise I was told the first 2 weeks were already booked. When I asked how that could be, it was then explained that the regular members had earlier registration rights. None of that was ever explained when I initially signed up.
    4. So the first date available was May 17th which I took via email confirmation. After previously registering on their website early on, this info didn't show up there...only confirmation being via email. Shortly thereafter I inquired about the alternate date of May 16th instead but was told that was booked too.
    5. Then the news hit this past week about losing the stay verdict in Albany Appellate court & how they were going to run this year i.e. 8 bikes per seesion. I emailed immediately to verify my spot for May 17, she emailed back saying I was still confirmed. I then inquired about booking my 2nd credit in June...I was then told first 2 weeks in June already booked too (my guess due to fewer bike structure?). Waiting now on reply to my request for late June date.

    I will try not to express my opnion on all this, just reporting what transpired...everyone can make their own judgements. Bottom line, I think this year will be a challenge for everyone involved & some time will be needed while this all gets straightened out. Considering the significant savings from the groupon deal ($229 for 2 track days), I would only advise it to someone, at this point in time, if your looking to book dates further out...July-Oct. I would also wait to order it until after seeing what happens the first to weeks in May w/ their member days running under the new restrictions. Some questions still unanswered...250cc bike limits, aftermarket exhausts, etc.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: NYST groupon

    I've been confirmed for August 2nd since April.. I spoke with Vicki too and asked if the court Shit would affect this and she said no. Then I emailed again on July 1st to confirm again and she said I was all set for August 2nd. In all the emails that have gone back and forth, nothing was ever mentioned about cc limitations

    Take off the fairings and intake tubes then roll it in. Flip the faring around and slip over back of bike. Doesn't even need to be strapped down.

    I might have been bumped from the tournament. Anyone coming for Northshore Ma weekend of the 2nd ? I have a trailer that can fit two bikes if someone wants to tag along. Probably camp Fri/Sat (given that there is still room)

    Re: NYST groupon

    I had my two days two weeks ago. Tons of people from Team Pro Motion on the same days and we were forced to run 4 groups at 15 minute intervals and that sucked hard. If you were unlucky in the pits and one of the last groups let onto the track you lost a couple minutes to that. A lap to warm up the tires, you could barely get started and you get flagged to come in. If someone went down, forget it, that session had no chance of getting back out. I will never do another "member" day again. I'd consider going back with Tony's or Fishtail, but I didn't love how those guys handled the member day.

    Going there this weekend - does NYST have a compressor for filling tires?

    No. Bring a foot pump or electric pump. I have a ryobi battery powered compressor that I find is compact and useful for NY. Most likely someone will have a pump if you are desperate and don't have one.

    Actually, there is a tire guy there every day as far as I know... he has air.
