TRMN8TR Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Found this Groupon on another forum. Great deal for anyone considering making the trip to New York Safety Track in 2014. If some of you other guys would commit, I'd buy the 2 day package and go with... In short: $149 for a 1 year membership (reg $99) plus 1 trackday. Membership gives you access to "members only" days. $229 for a 1 year membership plus 2 trackdays. If you aren't a member, their trackdays normally run $220 a day. http://www.groupon.com/deals/new-york-safety-track-1-boston?utm_source=rvs&utm_medium=afl&utm_campaign=3515526 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 YES! What exactly is a "one all-day track rental for a motorcycle"? I'd imagine it doesn't apply to a STT trackday or anything. I'd be down for a two day deal. How long do these stay active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Fuck it, bought the two day deal. Who wants to go to NYST?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Was a big write up on this place on Wera, sounded cool, but not ultimately safe, then again we raced at Nelson so what can you say lol. I believe this is run similar to how Putnam was, basically private track days, no real organizations rent it or coach, but just their own crew. Not like a MotoSeries or STT. That wqas at least my take on it. Always wanted to ride it, but definitely wanted to see it first as some of the peoples write ups on Wera were a bit concerning(from me that takes a lot to concern about safety).

Jester_ Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 If the groupon isnt available when I can buy it then il just pay full price when others decide to go. No biggie, to much stuff to buy for the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you have a link to the write up? I've done a few searches and haven't hit on anything really relevant. I remember one organization on the NYST schedule last year. Maybe NESBA, not sure tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 It's buried in a "New Track" or something thread, basically just said there isn't enough run off that Wera would ever consider racing there or anything currently. They said there is room for it, but not done yet. There wasn't too many people that had run it then though since it's new, so they might take some of that info and make some changes. I watched some vids and read some and it sounds legit though, just that trees and stuff are too close right now to be considered "safe". Wera does have a little tighter tolerence on that, but even I was thinking some of the trees were a tad close for comfort. I can say if I had my bike or a bike still, I would be in on this like the smell on my shit, cuz it's a killer deal, minus that it's forever away and a more boring drive than Jennings is lol. But I have family I could stop and see over there so it wouldn't be a total waste, otherwise, it's about as fun as driving west on 70 to Colorado(not that far though). But like I said, I'd be in like flynn on this deal, if..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Cool, I knew about the run off from watching the videos....thought maybe there was something else. Lots of trees, a gully or two and a couple places that look like you could run off the track onto another section heading the opposite direction. About 7 hours from Cleveland....from what I read; members don't have to pay camping or gate fees either....this is a hell of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Kind of ironic that they call it NY "Safety" Track and there's concerns of runoff/safety? I'm probably gonna snag the groupon and give it a shot. My goal for 2014 was to try more tracks, so might as well get a head start on it.

Meant the groupon deal; never purchased one before and didn't know how long it stays available to purchase. Thanks for posting this by the way; can't wait to hit some new tracks.

RonStopable Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I could be potentially starting a new job in February (which will reek havok on my track day schedule) Since I live outside the core area where everyone seems to be going to or coming from it makes it difficult to share rides to tracks such as putnam & gratten. Where I have the upper hand is Summit and Thunderbolt ya gotta drive past me to get there. Maybe during the first event this season we can review the track schedules together, formulate a transportation plan and book right then. I have spoke to numerous CR's for NESBA and they loved the track, very technical in the turns basically you never get of third gear until the straight. The asphalt seems good. Wanted to go last year to check it out but scheduling conflicts between Motoseries and NESBA mad it difficult. I'm not sure how they will do it this year but NESBA pulled alot of Beaver Event to run NYST (I'm sure they will do the same this year). I'm into running other tracks as long as I can find guys to share traveling costs with. Edited January 2, 2014 by RonStopable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ron, anytime you want to go to Grattan just let me know. I'm pretty much on route and would be more than happy to split the travel costs with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 My schedule and limited funds might get me to a couple of days at Grattan and Mid Ohio this year...Things could be worse I guess. I need more time on the street anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iguy Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Does anyone know if the Groupon is transferable? If I buy it, and then for some reason can't make it, can someone else use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
