90% chance they are repaving the old road course @ Thompson Speedway to be ready for spring 2013. How awesome that would be.

I've heard rumors that construction has started. I plan to take a ride after work this week and see, it's a bit over a half hour from my house.

It's 15 minutes from my place just over the line from mass in ct.I think csmutty lives right near there. they have an oval course and a cart course. Here's an overhead shot.If they go through with it it would be nice...https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-...ed=0CH4Q_BIwAA

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I didn't see any mention of motorcycles being able to use it. They've been building a track in Palmer, Ma but won't allow bikes. Just saying...before everyone starts buying there condos there and all.![]()

If this becomes reality for trackdays/racing I have two free bedrooms. My house is 30-36 minutes for there.
This would be great If they have racing there, that would cut costs down so I can consider trying racing.

Last year they were using the road course for SOLO II autocross, and I was going to try it this year, but Thompson didn't show up on the schedule. Maybe this is why?
And Thompson Speedway was a total joke for the 100ft holeshot drags, which got canceled there anyway. I hope they do something with the bikes, like a supermoto day.
My father is close friends with the owner of the track. I'll ask him to find out more info. Or maybe I will give him a call and put the track day bug in his ear....

I would think it would be in ANY track owners best interest to have a track that is open to any motorsport group that can bring $$ as in pay to play..... Now is not the time to turn down $$.. that said I am guessing the road course will only be used for cars...

They did run supermoto there until a rider got killed there.

I've been to the facility to give them feedback regarding motorcycle safety. The tricky part for these guys is going to be getting in and out of the oval, but they seem to be committed to making it work for motorcycles. In talking with them, I got the same sense of what was printed here (that it was 90% that they were going to do it). My gut is that it will take a little longer than originally projected (hard to believe - that never happens)....but that they will likely go forward. Hopefully when they get it all done it will be fun, safe and affordable....all three of which are required for success from my vantage point.

the access road to the pits crosses the track at Firebird East in Phoenix. people have to wait for the race to be over to get into the infield.
