Are there plans to add any NYST days? I live on Syracuse and was pumped that there was finally a close track. Didn't get to make it out last year because of weather and work... did I miss something?
I'd still take that at face value. There are two possible outcomes here: NYST is going to run, or it isn't going to run. Either way, they are going to say that everything is fine. Otherwise, if everything does turn out fine, but they told everyone that things aren't looking good, they won't have anyone attending anyways.leeeroyjenkins;303945 wrote: I just got off the phone with NYST and they told me that they will definitely be running. However not with NESBA. Personally, I don't have an issue with just getting the membership. They actually just told me if you had a existing track day with NESBA at NYST that they will give you a basic membership for free which is definitely pretty sweet.
This is on their facebook homepage, Is this what you are talking about?leeeroyjenkins;303945 wrote: I just got off the phone with NYST and they told me that they will definitely be running.

I don't know that you're way off base, but this is certainly a reasonable conclusion to draw. NYST definitely was cannibalizing the track day orgs with their "member day" pricing, and what they were charging to rent the track was obscene, considering it was essentially an unfinished product. What it did to the ultimate fate of NESBA I would hesitate to speculate on. I'm sure it didn't help, but I can't imagine it was the end-all, be-all.Trackdaynewb;303978 wrote: Their whole business model relied on getting track day orgs to book days at a high rate, lock them in, and then hold them to that rate while they offered their own club days super cheap to the members of these orgs while they were at the track.
That's why no orgs are there any more.
My friend, don't limit yourself to just one track. Average drive time for people is 5+ hours one way when going to the track. And besides, the more tracks you ride the faster/better rider you will become - I promise!Gundamzeppelin;304005 wrote: What can you do.... Would be a shame though I've put a lot of work into my bike for this year.
+1 to what the Pope of Syracuse said! Variety is the spice of life, this is especially true for tracks.Poper;304007 wrote: My friend, don't limit yourself to just one track.

If you want to ride, find a way to RIDE!
