| Re: LOOKY WHAT'S BEING BUILT IN NH! Nice....for cars. The 21 off-camber turns certainly don't sound bike friendly.  |

| Re: LOOKY WHAT'S BEING BUILT IN NH! yes, that was on RRW & M/T a few days ago. I wouldn't dare post it for fear of being flamed. Nice track like that and they will probably never host a race. Sad, but cool at the same time. |

In a positive camber corner, I feel like I am cheating!  |

Sad, but cool at the same time. | The site state that it's not going to host any races and is not going to be set up for spectators. Personally, I think that's pretty cool. |

| Re: LOOKY WHAT'S BEING BUILT IN NH! Off camber corners are good for bodywork makers...I prefer positive camber myself, feel the G's baby! BTW, CC, I think high speed cambered or no cambered turns are the ones that separate the men from the boys, most fast track day guys are near the pros in slow corners, but not in the fast ones. Nothing like flicking it in at 120MPH and feeling the slider melt.

Their prices aren't that bad compared to NHIS as far as renting it out for a daily event. Actually, they're a little cheaper on Tuesdays-Thursdays and slightly higher on their "peak" days. NHIS doesn't do a road course for cars. These guys will. Motorcycles.....It HAS to be better than NHIS for track days. Racing? We only had one week of interesting racing up here anyway before it was cancelled...no big loss.  |

| Re: LOOKY WHAT'S BEING BUILT IN NH! Oh sure.......get the cool chit after I move to AZ...wtf. I'm sure it will be a bit safer then NHIS, since that was one of the main reasons it no longer exsists on the AMA schedule. I remember talking to Miguel Duhamel and The GoShow about how unsafe the track was for the fast guys. It'll be nice to see a new attraction in NH that may bring more safe riding condidtions to the Granite State, just too bad they didn't think about that three years ago before I moved. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

| Re: LOOKY WHAT'S BEING BUILT IN NH! So anywho...I have been talking about a group ride...and then I called this guy to talk about a track day here. I guess they are talking about 7K for a weekday. If we could get like 20-30 people that would not be too bad! would there even be an interest in this?
