Thunder bolt Raceway..

[carl_g]

I drove by it 2 weeks ago. There is a lot going on there.. most of the drainage looked in place.

[GinoE]

excellent news!

truck is only 2yrs old & it's already got 50,000mi on her from vir, beaver, summit.
(maybe it was a good thing i didn't have the vacation time to ride calabogie)

Lets hope for a mild winter and they'll be able to get lots done for the spring.

I'm wondering if they will ever cater to an AMA national. 2.2 miles is a big enough track to have one I think.


and I always hope for a mild winter............usually starting around end of summer time.

It is pretty huge...and all fenced in. There were so many earth movers there and big equipment. Looks like they are busy and it is about 2 hours or so away from Northern Jersey. You take turnpike south to exit 3 then 295 south and you wind up on 55 south almost to the end.

They started pouring concrete last week...

How friggin cool are the Slide and Lean Bikes they've got!? I would love to thrash one of those around a bit. $2300 for two days is a bit steep... That's a whole season's worth of track time and then some.

pretty effen cool!

too bad i knew nothing about riding when i took the 1 & 2 classes at vir n.

i'm considering laguna seca dates (ride the corkscrew!)

[IrocRob]

New photos are available on the website http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/


Walls are starting to go up, and it
looks like they will be paving the north course SOON!

BTW - They will be hosting an ARCA/REMAX series race next year.

[Kennedy]

Looks great but which course would we be riding.....right hand side sweeping course? Looks fast and not technical....

[IrocRob]

That's the "Lightning" course that we see at the moment.

We will be on the "Thunderbolt" course which they are working on.

EDIT - I'd still go there just for the Lightning course if TPM runs it...

[Mike295]

from what i heard the lighting course is more for cars and the thunderbolt track is where bikes will be.

[tommymac]

either way it will be better than pocono.
