private race/country club opening soon!!
 

Monticello Motor Club (http://www.monticellomotorclub.com) is opening in Monticello, NY, this summer with a 22-turn road course, country club, spa, club-owned exotic cars, private helipad, etc., etc.

It only costs $125,000 to join, plus $9,500 a year, so I'm sure I'll see most of you guys there.

Seriously, check out the Web site to see how the other 0.01% lives.

Unfortunately, unlike some other country club tracks (VIR, NJMP, etc.) it looks like Monticello won't be open for events held by outside organizations like TZ, NASA, SCCA, or other racing clubs. So unless you're a millionaire already, your best chance to drive it will be to suck up to a member and hope for one of the six non-member driving passes he's allowed. (Even then, you'll only be allowed there twice a year at most.)

Must be nice to be rich, huh?

That looks like it's going to be a real nice facility, though as you say it's most likely out of reach for many of us.

Let's all petition our illustrious member here, 2MCHPWR, since he now works at Monticello Motor Club. Maybe he can get us a discount on a "TST Track Day" at Monticello. I think he's top dog on all telecommunications/I.T. systems and data, including track telemetry, widescreen TV feeds, basically all electronic data.

2mchpwr works there... lucky fella

Very cool, we are very lucky right now, with alot of new tracks opening up.
