Why are these people building tracks anywhere NEAR residential areas. The NCM track has been open for <2 years and the neighbors are already trying to shut them down.
I have a feeling weāll all be driving flying cars before CNYRP has itās first racing event on a paved road course.
Hereās their official 2016 announcement.
Gets a little suspicious when he talks about how far ahead of schedule the are, then eludes to paved course motorcycle racing next year. I also love the, āweāre probably the only track in the country to offer dirt and paved racing at one facilityā statement. Are you or arenāt you? Seems like something you would have done your homework about before making the statement.
Frost out of the ground? FROST ?! WHAT FROST?! Racing this year? Seriously? I highly doubt it.
First time in the last 4.5 years of driving past this place that I can say they actually did something. Before it was, some brush cleared, some small mounds of tree stumps and dirt moved around.
Now it is large mounds of dirt moved. Looks like a big berm running along with 81 fence line.
Sounds promising. Weāll be driving past there in 2 weeks.
2 broken promises;
AMA race moved:

Super DIRT week moved:
Is this the same track @fairgentleman_Z ?
This is the old go kart track that CNY-SCCA uses, they use to do it āenduroā style and let you lap it 5 times for a timed run. LaFayette just got completely repaved.
Since the beginning of the thread:
- NY Safety Track built
- Pineview Run track built
- Nelson Ledges complete repave
I drove by CNYRP in Feburary and still nothing.
Going up north to visit relatives Friday so Iāll be driving past it on 81 so Iāll post an update soon. Iām going to go out on a limb and say they havenāt done shit though.
Ah gotcha. @king was showing me FB pics that this track posted of a freshly paved surface, nice concrete curbs, etc. Looks legit!
Iām going to recommend if you are going that area this weekend that you try to detour to Adirondack International Speedway and check out the Facebook group āGambler 500 New Yorkā. Think of it as 24 Hours of LeMons for seasonal roads.
As long as weāre bumping racetracks that will never get built threadsā¦
Central NY Raceway Park⦠the track in CNY off 81 by Bartell Rd. Every time I head up north to visit family I look over at the total lack of progress there.
I think this was the last update and it was 2019. The FB page hasnāt been updated since 2017:
R.I.P
Among the unsecured debts: A $1.2 million claim against Donnelly by the state Department of Environmental Conservation over violations of environmental law and the Clean Water Act, including a lack of erosion and sediment controls on the site and the discharge of sediments and pollutants into federal wetlands.
Donnelly agreed to correct the violations in a consent agreement with the DEC. The department said he broke the agreement by not fixing the violations.
Donnelly filed Chapter 11 three weeks after the DEC went to court to try to enforce its fines and penalties against him and his business, Central New York Raceway Park Inc.
14yrs of failureā¦
