Earache Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I rode around it on Wednesday in the owner's Porsche Cayenne. Went there with a friend to help them decide where to put the gravel traps for bike racing.This place is going to be fantastic. A wide track with some decent elevation changes and quite a few blind crests that are gonna make yer bunghole pucker when you ride them for the first time.Took shitloads of pictures, but the owner doesn't want them posted to forums until the track is complete. I'll post them one day - or show them to you guys in person sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd the Sable treat ya?The Sable is on it's last legs with transmission problems. Whines like a little bitch everytime he gasses it. Definitely didn't like pulling my trailer (Rub had to deliver a bike to a guy there). Still had fun though. Place is going to be ultra-cool.

Moto-Brian Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 would it be possible for a normal person like me to tag along nest time you guys head down that way?It's possible, but I cannot speak for everyone. I will certainly be down there the next time as I just couldn't swing it this time around and know Reuben is a great source for that type of feedback... John is too, but more of a car guy than bike...Anyways, the next time it comes up, we'll see... I believe we'll be there again shortly to overview what safety measures he has taken...

Harb67 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is the first I've heard about this place. How far is it from the Columbus area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev1180 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 where is this track at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 After I realized that we're living in 2008 and have access to such technomagik such as Google Earth and whatnot, I deduced that this place is 158 mi – about 2 hours 41 mins from Columbus (OSU campus to be exact). Not terrible, but still no Mid-Ohio in terms of convenience. So, who wants to rent me a spot on their trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 the price will no doubt overcome the convenience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 the price will no doubt overcome the convenience...Do you mean that Bluegrass will be so cheap that it outweighs the convenience of Mid-Ohio? What type of prices are we talking here? I'd love to get a track day in this upcoming season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APCh8r Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I am sure it will be around the same prices as mid-ohio atleast. It will be worth the drive though. Consider yourself lucky that you have about 5 tracks withing decent driving distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 i heard from the rumor mill from he said she said that it was going to be much cheaper than mid ohio. definitely cheaper that much is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 i heard from the rumor mill from he said she said that it was going to be much cheaper than mid ohio. definitely cheaper that much is for sure.i dont know, the stt usually runs trackdays at the same price for just about everywhere. but who knows it would be super nice if it were cheaper though. it is about an hour closer drive for me as opposed to the drive to mid-ohio. that would make 3 tracks that are within 2 1/2 hours driving distance:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedogg624 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 straight from the horses mouth. STT GUY is Monte.any idea on pricing? or was that mentioned already and i just missed it...if the price isn't set in stone thats fine but for a ballpark more or less than mid oh?Less than Mid-Ohio for sure.

Moto-Brian Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 The cost will certainly be cheaper than Mid-Ohio. If you look, Mid-Ohio is more than any other venue. This is due to track rental. It is more expensive to rent than the others, but outside BlueGrass, there isn't any other track in remotely the same condition.Now, realize that other tracks like Barber are expensive as well, but are not within the regional area of us and Mid-Ohio so, I am not including that track in my comparison.BlueGrass can become more if it gets top shelf racing and such. Put it this way, STT is in early and locked dates. That helped a ton. Now, come this time next year and AMA, WERA, SCCA, etc start talking to him, rental may go up. Of course, Monte is so damn savvy a business man, he probably will have locked prices for a few years. He's too smart to get blind sided...Point is that the extra 1-1/2 hour drive and related fuel expenses will be offset with a cheaper entry fee. It all works out - two great tracks for the same money. It's a win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
