    stopped by Thompson to see the progress today

    had the day off work and im very close so i stopped by to see what its looking like. got to walk the entire track and im in love. great track. afew big sweepers and one with a double apex. front straight is nice though it does kink at one end. they are putting up the garages right now and have pit in and out pretty much done. they are building the bridge right now as well. all and all very very excited to be here next year. cant wait.

    I heard that neighbors are putting up a big stink over that new track. I guess they're claiming it doesn't fit the criteria to be grandfathered in. Last week I saw an article posted on the WINY radio station Facebook page about it. Hopefully it works out.

    The NY people put up a stink too.

    Fact is that the roadcourse use will be much quieter than the oval... certainly when bikes are on course, at least.

    I grew up 10-15 mins from this track in Thompson. even before i knew that there had once been a road course there i thought it seemed like a great place to put one. the neighbors are complaining about noise?! lol there arent enough neighbors close enough to really make a difference! this is gonna be great cant wait!!

    How soon before racing is allowed at this track? LRRS or AMA?

    Re: stopped by Thompson to see the progress today

    I live about 30 minutes from here. I am DEFINITELY getting into racing when this track opens (both motorcycles and cars). I currently have a Saturn Sky Redline to race. I will probably have to buy a track bike, as the Z1000 would be a little tough to start with.
    I would have gotten into racing earlier, but New Hampshire is so far!

    Your current bike is fine for trackdays, which is what you have available in 2014
