Well, some of the Suspects are gonna be  doing the Indy trip. Not sure of the exact dates but it's something like Sept 11-17.

In addition to those dates, I might be doing a solo road trip at the end of Sept for a week or so, so Sept would be out for me.

Regardless, you folks do you, don't wait on me.

I'd be up for it depending on how much it costs & how much money I have left over after the Indy trip.

Sept is out for me, going to Indy and trackday at Putnam Park the following monday, for a Ducati only day after MotoGP.

If anyone's interested I have 2 trackdays possibly for sale for Sat, Oct 11 Sportbike Tracktime at NJMP- Lightning

Silly me thought that I could get a saturday off in October..... NOT!

I'm still signed up for the Buell demo day Oct 12, also held by STT at Lightning, and going to sign up for Tony's on THunderbolt on monday, Oct 13.

I've only done one track day and it was Tony's in NH.  Why are they soooo much more expensive?
Don't get me wrong..  it was amazing and I would def do it again.

Pete...  I would be down for Thunderbolt mid Sept and Tony's in Oct. 

Better start saving   ;)

How much is the average track day?


Title: Re: Lets take it to the track... September
Post by: patricks2r on June 20, 2008, 07:40:57 AM
A bunch were around $165/day.
Tony's is $280/day or $250 if you book early.
-but they do have classes/instructors/and have food/beverage all day.
I probably just answered my own question.

its really not much considering you get the time of your life in a safe controlled friendly environment with professionals there to help you out, plus food and drink all day.

it depends on the track

NJMP seems to run on the more expensive side, plus Tony's doesn't do food for this track, as the track has a restaurant.  It's a bit steep since there's no food included as in the NH days he does.

it also depends on how many riders they put onto the track at any given time and how many groups are run.
