> I don’t know much about open tracking, but I thought Monticello looked pretty nice? Just curious why do you think it sucks (say vs Watkins Glen)? The actual track or the people who run it? I know that was one of the places I was looking to take my bike if I ever find the time/money to get out there.

To me, the track lacked a good flow. There were a couple technical sections, but they just didn’t have the flow like some other tracks. The people who run the place are absolute d-bags, as Jeff has stated already in this thread. Also, I would never run a motorcycle there due to how unsafe it is. NJMP is A LOT more motorcycle friendly, and although farther away it’s a bit better of a track (both Lightning and Thunderbolt). I didn’t know they allowed bikes to run there honestly. LRP and WGI doesn’t allow bikes either AFAIK.
