Hey all, we went to the new Monticello track in NY on Mon and Tues. The track is awesome!! It is long with lots of very complex corners plus a long strait where the 7 saw 150+ That gets your attention. I would recommend this track to anyone in the area,it is on par with the Glen.
I ended up winning my class in the time trial with a time of 2.41 and change on Toyo RA1,s circa 2006 Who needs big sticky tires!!It was nice to see a bunch ofMazdaSpeed 3's on MonOur next event is at the end of the month at NHIS you can check the schedule at : comscc.org.
Get on this track if you canit is a blast.

Thanks,It is a track car,weighs about 2800 tire size is 245. They will be 285 Pirelli slicks for next event. All the usual mods for a track car with a big *** turbo I should have a rear wing for the next event to balance out the downforce.

Very nice!! that track is so much fun. There is so much speed to be found there. I never fully attacked the braking zone at the end of the two straights. I use a lot less brake now with a car with no abs but need to get it to threshold without an expensive lockup

I may have got you Did the group that you ran with have offical scoring? Mine was a 2:41.660. My Robic had you at around 2:42 from start/finish to before start finish where vid ended.Great lap. You sure are a lot less busy with a V8 than I am in the rotary!! My feet are dancin' around like Barry Sanders
