Default Monticello in CT

Hi,

Are there any clubs that still do DEs or open track days there and allow street legal (or better said non-race prepped) cars to participate? SCDA used to have some days there but this season it looks like they got none.

i assumed they are CT as i knew it is down rt 87.
ok then, if they stopped renting out it is probably a dead cause.

According to their website, they no longer rent to car clubs:

87 is a north-south interstate in NY. Monticello is off of 17 (the "future I86", I believe...)

The Lime Rock Driver's Club is in CT - as are many PCA, SCDA, BMWCCA and other car club DEs at Lime Rock.

Looks like fun, however, with my 21.5 lbs/WHP ratio, I think I'd get trounced in the GT-3 class (8.74 lbs/WHP and higher).

Steve- are you a member? Even being a guest for a day cost $1000 that can be put towards your membership I believe. Still hoping for a test day there. I REALLY like the track.

We have a weekend event there. You have to sign up through NARRA no DE so no instructors only time trials and races

^^ Oh, I'm sure someone will invite you back, Bob. Of course, that's assuming you haven't used up all your guest days with Ari ...
