Tracks in Northern New York or Southern Canada

davef · 07-01-2006, 10:18 AM

I'll be traveling to the Plattsburgh New York area for a family gathering and I like to make a trackday out of it if there's one near. Any suggestions? It's near Montreal.

Thanks
D

There's a track in Mont Tremblant I think.

Well, the trip will be around the first week of August, the third or fourth day of the month and we'll be there for several days. As soon as I find some tracks in the area I'll be able to be more specific.

I'm ready to try out those new slicks I got from Abtech!

IF you find it hard to get a date at MTB you might be able to find some time at Shannonville, or Mosport

I can find all the track day available in the area but I needed dates for that. I'll look it up and get back to you. If you can pull Mont-Tremblant I'll be there with you

That one looks to be the closest one but their website sucks. I'm having trouble finding a schedule of their track days.

Only 3 track days this summer there.... the next one is August 25

an they are 275$, well worth it though.... What a track!

There is on track day in Shannonville Motorsports Park August 5, that's about it in the area for the first week of August.... Maybe NHIS?

Edit: St-Eustache might be an option.... not that nice of a track but real close to Montreal. I'll look it up. Still unpacking, I'll get back to you later.

davef · 07-02-2006, 1:44 PM

Yeah, St-Eustache looks very convenient but their website seems to be all French. I'm afraid I'll need your help on that...

Let me know what you find out, I really want to get to another track day while I'm in your neck of the woods.

Thanks,
Dave

Does not look good

Mont-Tremblant has nothing before the 25, Mosport and Shanonville in Ontario don't have nothing either beginning of August..... St-Eustache web site is not showing any track day, I'll have to make some calls and make sure.

NHIS has one track day on August 9

Yeah St-Eustache's website was all Greek to me.

It's extremely close to Montreal and that makes it ideal for me. If you can find a trackday there via phone I'd be all over it.

What is NHIS? I'm off to run a search!

So I found NHIS and it seems that the 9th is a Penguin track day and the 10th is something called Open Test Session for motorcycles only.

The penguin day is $220 and I don't know the price or anything elso about the Open Test Session on the 10th yet. I'll make some calls!

If there is no track day, will you bring the bike anyway for some street riding?

davef · 07-04-2006, 12:17 AM

Dunno, my van gets about 8 mpg when towing the bike so it gets pretty expensive. I'll think on it.

jetbdude · 07-07-2006, 7:34 PM

Dave, just found out that there will be a track day at St-Eustache on August 6. They cost 100$ but you need the 40$ membership card, so 140$ total.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it the 6 but I'll keep you updated.

Here's the link to the track day responsible. Acueil Home

jetbdude · 07-07-2006, 7:38 PM

Ho, forgot, don't expect too much of St-Eustache.... small bumpy track, quite some squids the day I was there but some good riders too. It's still fun to ride... I'm sure you can find some vid on google, Canadian superbike is racing there once a year.

jetbdude · 07-27-2006, 1:40 PM

So, Dave are you in the area already?

davef · 07-27-2006, 7:39 PM

Not yet, I won't be there until Wednesday night. We have to stop on the way in Pennsylvania. I am doing a track day at VIR on Monday though! That will have to do it for now, I just can't justify towing the bike all that way for a crappy track. My van gets dismal mpg when towing, well all the time really
