    I thought I'd share this track event here for anyone in the area.

    This was a blast last summer at NYST in Harpersfield NY. About an hour west of Albany on the crest of a hill with private aircraft runway access.
    The track is 2 miles, 18 turns, 450ft elevation change. Not a lot of runoff area. Probably a lot like Palmer, MA. It was an informal, fun day of track driving against the clock, with a timed session.
    Here's a link to a "teaser" video of the track: https://youtu.be/fl8kYMOhwrY

    NECC Motorsports hosts two track days Saturday June 25th and August 27th, 2016.
    Link to the club and signup information for anyone wanting to attend: NECC Motorsports!

    I have no affiliation to the club or track, I just attend their two NYST track days and wanted to share the fun.
    Cheers,

    Glad you are interested.

    Definitely fun, sorry you missed the last 2016 date in September. Ithaca is just over 2 hours away. I have a friend comes here from Syracuse, most NECC members are from downstate and MA.

    Keep an eye on the NECC website in my original post for 2017 dates. There will be 2 days at NYST, and one at Pocono, then they have a couple days in NJ. There is talk of a day at the Glen too.

    Here is a short clip from my first day there in 2015. Best time 2:08.76 - https://youtu.be/X-Q6PYQJMkk
    Here is a more in-depth review of the track from 2016. Best time 2:01.55 - https://youtu.be/7l21Hbab1J0

    What a beautiful track! I didn't see any fee information on the website though. Do you know what they charge for track days?

    Any information on what the 2016 fees were so we can have an idea of what an event might cost?
