seems safe to have a low side in one turn, and have your bike slide right into the straight

i was thinking the same thing....

[Jim]

and where is pit it and pit out
it cant be that small paved turn on the straight

I think this actually looks more like a Kart track than a full scale road course track.

At first thought I was like, wow, that looks kind of lame. After looking at it for a minute it might be fun for my motard especially, without knowing the proportions. But yah, seems a little unsafe with a couple of those turns.

There is no way in or out of the infield, no paddock, no pit in and out, no elevations..looks like a car/kart track to me

Did you read the rest of the thread? It's a car club / test track. Not for bikes and not for racing.

only 2 road course i know are in progress.

One in Spencer (about 30 min north of me) which has been in a holding pattern for like 4 years now.

One in Concord (about 5 min from my house) is rumoured that Bruton Smith (owner of Speedway Motorsports Inc) is going to buy the Phillip Morris property and build a purpose built road course

Wasn't Monticello supposed to be originally just for cars as well?

Just sayin'...
