Ok so part of the things I'm going to have to consider before moving home is...the availability of track days. I know you have a cut off season compared to us but where besides Loudon do you guys go in a season?
Down here I have access to....Jennings+, Homestead, PBIR+Rd Atlanta, Carolina MSP+, NOLA+(although at 10 hr drive I won't make this one a habit!!), Barber(doing this end of july), Lil Tally+....
Also within a days drive(8-9 hrs) are Calabogie(unbelievable track) and Summit Point.
Yeah, Loudon is pretty much the only game in town if you're only up for a day trip (about 1.5-2hrs from Boston).
NJMP is the next closest. Thunderbolt is a phenominal track (beats VIR North, IMO.) but it's a bit more of a hike at 6-7hrs from Boston.

Oreo,
I tend not to care about the drive...if i can help it im there for the weekend so its worth it to me. I hate single track days...you're just hitting your stride and its over....
I just drove 15 hours to go to NOLA in New Orleans and the end of this month I'm driving 9 hours by myself to ride Barber with Track Tactics....so at that point if anyone wants to share a ride im all for it
crap I wouldn't be opposed to a yearly trip to Jennings around thanksgiving or Christmas![]()
Agreed. 2 days minimum for the win.
A few weeks ago was killer... Spent Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, Weds all at the track. Heaven.

I take it you are in Florida? Florida has the opposite of Tail of the Dragon: 11 turns is 318 miles.
Up here we have miles of winding, tree-lined roads with elevation changes and changing scenery. In the winter we engage in traditional New England pastimes: drinking and fucking.
ha. I know the suckiness of Fl roads trust me. The one thing I'll say is the further north and central you go there are a few better roads, thru the forest etc...but generally yea.
the track is the best place to get some lean in.
As for the dragon...i'm a "local" lol. Atl is the other option for moving....which puts me 3.5 hours from Deals Gap, etc. I was there last year but when we separated I had to move. Atl is awesome but I don't have family or close friends there.
Travel to the track is the biggest killer for us "up North". I moved from FL to ME and it's a 4-5hr hike for me to get to NHMS, and roughly 11-12 hrs to get to NJMP......worth it though. I'm lucky in that I head south a couple times during the winter so I'm thinking of packing the bike with me from now on and hitting up Barber, JGP, and Carolina when I go. I'm planning a Barber trip with a few other forum guys for early next year, so maybe we could all get out there and rip it up!
let me know when....If I can make it i'll meet ya. I'd love to do Road Atlanta....
i have friends from MD and once a year they make a trek down in a big group during the winter when there's nothing goin on up there.
When I start my KTM in the morning, rules are broken. Its inevitable...
