New track in upstate NY
NY Safety Track
About 2.5 hours from North Jersey, in Davenport NY. Opening May 2013 is what they say, TPM is supposedly going to be there, and apparently Billy and Glen were involved in the design of the track. http://nysafetytrack.com/track http://nysafetytrack.com/images/track_layout.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...68936431_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...44195460_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...09488760_n.jpg Front straight, a little under 1/2 mile it says http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...11716245_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...12547289_n.jpg |
TPM did mention it at the drivers meeting. Looks pretty good.
Track goes counter clockwise.. |
Mm hmm
Its meant to be a "training facility" hence the name, like NCBIKE. No racing in the short term, just track days and training I guess. But good enough for me to have a new track within reasonable distance. |

Right now, it looks like Pocono

Smooth!!!! Where did you get those pictures??! You payed it a visit?!:lol:

Left turn 1 nice. Not too many tracks we ride with a left turn 1. Beaver was the only one I can remember and Pocono.

Month and 1/2 from gravel on the ground to bikes on pavement.....not bad

Shouldn't they wait a little for the pavement to cure?

They talked about some new "special" polymers they were using for this tracks surface. Hopefully that means lots of grip :D
Anyway...... :D First onboard laps CW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TOSVBVqIfI CCW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC112wIHGZU |
I'm guessing it most likely means more long term durability.
Still good to see another track.:thumbup::thumbup: |
