Only an hour away from the Syracuse airport. Construction has already started and they are currently clearing the land. The complex will have: - 2 mile road course - 1/2 mile dirt oval - 200mph drag strip - Autocross and Skidpad area - Restaurant & All other VIP amenities ![http://centralnewyorkracewaypark.com/uploads/CNYRP_rev_11_11_839.png](http://centralnewyorkracewaypark.com/uploads/CNYRP_rev_11_11_839.png) ![http://www.ontariooval.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CNYRP-Restaurant-and-Grandstands-Final.jpg](http://www.ontariooval.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CNYRP-Restaurant-and-Grandstands-Final.jpg) ![http://www.ontariooval.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CNYRP-with-lettering.jpg](http://www.ontariooval.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CNYRP-with-lettering.jpg) This looks promising! There are pretty big names involved in the project. The road course section will also have elevation changes which is great, because it makes it a little more advanced track, and if the track map is anything to go by, that will be a pretty fast track! They are planning to have it open for Labor Day weekend 2012. :pimp More info can be found at:[http://centralnewyorkracewaypark.com/](http://centralnewyorkracewaypark.com/) Sorry If it’s in the wrong area ---

Looking at the layout, I guess now NY will have our own LRP…:rofl I believe LRP is still closer from where we are at. I doubt they run bikes there. ---

The CNYRP is about 2 hours and 30 away from us. > LRP Lime Rock Park? LRP is 80 miles from Albany. 2.5 hours is about the same distance to WGI from Albany, and don’t forget Monti. Don’t get me wrong, any new track is a good thing. The problem is they need to be booked to be sustainable. The good thing is smaller tracks like this may attract more club events at a lower cost from clubs running them, compare to popular tracks around the area. They should really add a dedicated Drift course instead of spending alll the money on a fancy grand stand. A dedicated dirft course will attract a lot more business and provide a venue for drift clubs to host competitions. If they can create a venue than can do it all, I am sure they will have no issue getting it booked almost all year round. I am moving the thread to Auto for more exposure. Thanks for the info! ---

Im surprised theyre actually able to make a new race track anywhere due to disturbing butterflies, hippies, trees, people that build houses right down the road from it, etc. ---

That front stretch with that corner after is going to be interesting I suppose. My car is just too slow to take advantage of a 1/4 mile long front stretch with that kind of speed carrying corner. ---

Well you can do NHMS is you plan to ride there, but still it is a 4+ hours ride (NJMP is 6+); it is doable, but I would not recommend riding back on the same day. Ask me how I know…:crackup Or hit up with someone and rent a party van or get yourself a trailer. P.S. Get some track gear if you don’t already have them and plan on doing trackdays. ---

Eh, looks pretty boring to me. Looks like 7 RH turns and 2 LH. That last long turn will eat tires pretty quick. Similar to NJMP Thunderbolt. And I hate that track.
