Heading to Monticello to check it out! Who's coming with?

[noxin]

People are asking if they can come just to check it out, at this rate there will be more spectators then riders.... the details are being worked out now but it looks like if you are not signed up for this event you will be turned away at the gate.

The main issue is the size of the paddock and having limeted numbers of places to park.

I was just included on an email when someone else asked David about doing the same.

Here was the response-

"This is a Member Only facility, the paddock is small and this is our first event there.

This is not a spectator event with a paid gate fee for spectators like at other Public Race Track Faclties you may be used to.

If you want come see a track days please choose an event off our calendar that is at a open to the public race track.

We'd love to have you come, but this is not the ideal venue.

David-STT"

I think there will be more info on the STT website soon.

Thanks for the response.

I'm relatively new at track riding and think it'd be better for a spot I would use to go to someone that could give better feedback about the track.

I hope everyone that goes has a great time and hopefully, there will be another chance for me to ride up there!

This event is going to be a small event that will cater to riders of all levels. If you are a new rider then that's just ok as our novice group has a very controlled environment, lots of class room and follow the leader drills.

The issue with spectators is just a matter of logistics, the place just does not have the room, realize this place was built as a private club not as a race track that could hold national level racing.

we know how many people can fit on track just dont know how many fit in the pits without causing a disturbance.

other info you should know is there are no Garages at all and electricity will be very limited.

There is a amazing club house for the riders school and some areas with tables and chairs for siting and watching the turn onto the front strait but seating is limited.

after the first event there will be better understanding of what is capable.

so where is everyone staying? camping at track?
If I get in, I'll have room for a bike, rider, gear coming out of Sterling MA

[akira700]

Kinda sucks about guests though. I wanted my dad to be able to come watch.
He lives right near there.

Terry and Jim,

I have a trailer with capacity for two bikes (mine plus one). Plenty of room in the SUV for gear. Let me know if one of you guys are interested. Joel

From the STT Site, a quick scan of the forum doesn't show any changes for monticello:

Bike Preparation
1) All bikes MUST pass technical inspection prior to admittance to the track. If your bike DOES NOT pass tech inspection, you will NOT receive a refund.
2) Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least 75% of new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will be disallowed. Slicks are allowed in 85% plus condition. We will have on site tire service at each track day, so if your tires don't pass, you will have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech.
3) All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped over or removed. Side mirrors must be removed for the advanced group and at least taped over for all other groups.
4) We recommend, but do not require removal of center stands. No bikes with center stands will be allowed in the Advanced/Racer Group due to the ground clearance issue.
5) All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill switch/button and self-closing throttle in good working condition.
6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. NO AUTOMOTIVE ETHYL GLYCOL BASED COOLANTS ARE ALLOWED.
7) All valve stems must have caps.
8) Wheel balance weights must be well-secured.
9) License plates must have bolts taped or be removed.
10) Added for 2009 season: Advanced riders are required to safety wire drain plugs and oil fil caps if possible. Minimum requirement is RTV silicone on both. We highly suggest securing the oil filter as well. NOTE: If you spill oil on the track your day is over.

back to top

Rider Gear Requirements (No, shorts and flip flops won't cut it....)
1) Damage free BSI, DOT or SNELL full-face helmet with face shield.
2) Riding boots that fully cover the ankle.
3) Gauntlet style gloves with full wrist coverage.
4) One or two piece leathers. Two piece leather suits must zip together for Novice, Intermediate or Advanced groups. Ballistic nylon suits such as Joe Rocket, AeroStitch etc. are acceptable in the Novice and Intermediate Group only provided they are either one piece or two piece that zip together with 50% zipper contact, reinforced and padded shoulders, elbows, hips, and knee areas. No chaps.

Advanced and Intermediate group riders ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR A BACK PROTECTOR. Soft back pads sewn into suits are not enough. We sell Bohn back protectors at special STT member discounts. We can arrange to deliver your new back protector to you the day of your event or ship it to you home. We will have a limited number (6-10 per event) of back protectors for rent. No back protector = no track time!!!

2009 Season: STT recommonds the use of chest protectors.

[madkaw]

Thanks for posting. Now at least I know that I have to change my old slicks for new ones. Also, gunna flush my coolant and refill w/water.

BTW, could you guys add me to your list (although I'm not from the MA area?) It would help me feel the love

[noxin]

do it yourself

[The Crashing Tomato]

Sorry duder, too slow... looks like I be givin Noxin a ride...

ur gonna let noxin ride the 800ss

I have transport to and from

[noxin]

Wait, what?!

Sweeeeet!

Ahhm, I think he's talking about me bogarting a spot on the trailer.

[noxin]

Some one will have to confirm this, but my mad map skills says this is the location of the actual track.

Google!

Does anyone have hotel information yet?

[scottieducati]

LOL, no with giving Noxin a ride, I won't have room on the trailer to bring the 800SS (provided of course that my 848 will be back.. if not then I'll be riding the 800...)

Thought ya'll might enjoy this.
