ANNOUNCING – A New Track Date on JULY 3rd at Monticello Motorclub!


This event is not to be missed as we debut this state of the art facility to motorcyclists for the 1st Time.

Monticello Motorclub is a private, members only facility that is NOT open to the public and usually has some of the most exotic cars around doing the laps.

Come on and check this track out which has impeccable pavement, great flowing corners, elevation changes and a fantastic facility.

We have worked with the track and have added some additional protection to make it “motorcycle friendly”.

We are offering a Limited Number of riders to come so track density will not be an issue.

Since the event date is so close we are offering you to come and preview the South Course Track for ONLY $125

NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED

What protection was added to make it safer for motorcyclists?

The track has worked really hard to install tire blocks and other soft barriers, as well as positioning them in zones appropriate for motorcycles.

To quote Monte
"A small portion (armco) was moved and they installed tire barriers in a several area. IMO, the armco does not pose any greater risk than it does at most tracks and less than a couple that are used by major orgs. We will keep working with Monticello to make more changes."



Since this is the New England Board I will compare Monticello South to Loudon, the speeds are similar but with more runoff actually. I say please come by and see for yourself.

I beg to differ... or I would have rented it.

Seriously, I am glad the track has changed their "take it or leave it" attitude.

I hope you guys can run a safe event and the track continues to make improvements so that we can add another venue in the NorthEast area.

At 50 grand for 48 years, I will need to go back in time to shake a buncha years off my body! Yikes

I signed up, for $125 if its not safe, I won't run it. Its only fours hours away, would be so nice if it did pan out..... TOFTT

I agree that this is a great move... having a cheap, "test" day.

It's precisely what we asked the track to allow us to do, but it was during their "take it or leave it" phase... which has now thankfully passed.

Also, we too felt that we could make the place fairly safe for 60 bikes.

Unfortunately, at the track's normal price... that number of riders wasn't economically feasible.

Again... this is a great thing. The track has obviously come around and an actual "test" is being run. If everyone behaves, it will go smoothly.

Yeah, $125 for a test run sounds good to me as this is only about an hour and a half away. At the very least, if it doesn't seem that safe I'll still run it...just step it down a few notches.

This is not being run by any of our usual players... we're just "guests"
