    For those of you who don't know about Monticello Motor Club, it is worth a visit for anyone who has the means to join a car-centric country club. I went with a bunch of friends for a fun ride up yesterday and had a visit. It was way beyond my expectations, and the track is fantastic! Thanks to Bill, Jason, Tony, Andrea, Coleen, and _____ for a wonderful reception and tour of the facilities!

    They are planning 5+ miles of track that can be arranged and/or broken up in a number of ways, and it looks like they've paid a lot of attention to detail with respect to track surface, elevation changes and some great fun and challenging turns.

    OK, enough with what sounds like an advertisement for the place - I wanted to thank a bunch of the NYTS Fchat members who came with us, and I wanted to post a couple pictures for the rest of you, because it seems that the NYTS section is getting boring with fewer and fewer runs and get-togethers worth writing about.

    The drive up was a few hours as we took the "scenic route". It's approximately 95 miles from the Westchester/Ct border (Rye Brook) and took me about 1 hour 20 minutes. You've got to be very careful on route 17, it's heavily patrolled! Eventually they plan on opening up the "heliport" and having service from the surrounding area.

    Great pics. Glad to see that it's paved. I visited the facility around Thanksgiving time and it looked impressive then. I grew up only about three miles from the site.

    Ha ha... Yup. I love that you just knew it was Shivam!

    Nice pics Dave. Looks like it was a fun day.

    And +1 on the decline of NYTS... But that's a whole other topic, and I do NOT want to hijack this thread with that...
