We’ve clocked the trip from NYC to the location in about 2.5 hours from NYC, making it the closest track to the city and very easy to find. The environment is absolutely stunning, peaceful and inspired by nature, with trees and grass surrounding the course. The place is a true rider’s paradise having all the features of a top notch European racetrack combined with calm NY upstate twisting back-roads” said Mr. Bill Sink, Team Pro-Motion’s Site Operations Manager. “The most important thing we focus on is safety. Team Pro-Motion provides a phenomenal learning and riding experience for those looking to hone their skills on the track and riding on the road.” said Greg Lubinitsky, NYST Track Manager, and a long-standing member of TPM. Learning and developing skills stemming from years of riding, racing and schooling lap after lap, Glen Goldman, president of Team Pro-Motion Track Riding Club, has been extremely instrumental in the design and layout process to create a track from a rider’s view. “This track will be different in its level of challenge along with holding to strict safety standards that riders deserve. As with any high-performance track, the balance between speed, safety and challenge is key to keeping interest high and for rider development.” Goldman explained. “Team Pro-Motion will not only utilize the New York Safety Track for track events, but through the ART school program, we will bring new riders into the sport with proper training and guidance to establish an advanced skill set when riding on the street. Simultaneously, we have worked and continue to work very closely with training military personnel, and have been awarded the Army Sportbike Safety School certification. Exclusive courses and training sessions will be offered on designated days at NYST”, Goldman concluded. “This track will be the ultimate destination for people in the Northeast and across the US,” said Greg Lubinitsky. “You won’t find a 2.1-mile, 18-turn, 40-foot-wide straight, amenity-filled environment anywhere else in the world. We’ve made it to be the best and we will make sure anyone who attends a day with us will never want to leave.” Challenging the designers may be as much, if not more, as challenging the participants. New York Safety Track will open in May 2013 with TPM being the Official Track Partner offering a very attractive schedule of events. New York Safety Track is the number one supporter and promoter of safe riding, driving and overall control on the road. Team Pro-Motion’s programs have established them to provide that experience to riders and drivers.

We'll see how it goes. I've seen too many stories like this, and the track just goes nowhere... runs out of funding, runs into political opposition, etc. etc. etc. Would be nice to have a good track closer than NJMP though. | ||

Yea I heard on another board it is facing opposition from the locals, despite being in the middle of nowhere. |
