Anyone on this board in the PA/NJ/NY area look into Alpine? Awesome concept of a "country club" built around a racetrack instead of a golf course.

I may check it out in the spring...

 

who's your pro whats the course record ??? great idea . it would be nice if you could have car storage as cc have club storage. when you arrive your clubs are out and clean waiting for you finish they clean em are store em for you... hard to let some else clean my car much less park it for me

 

Is this the place in NJ on an old airfield??? if so, i have heard a little about it...if not...link me

Something like this would be my dream someday (5-10 years) when most guys join the Country Club...ill join the racetrack.

 

They were once a sponsor of the forum when they first formed, I haven't heard much about it since but would be curious to hear anyone's experience

 

I think a few guys PM'd me about them starting this or something, havent heard much about it either though ?!

 

They were supposed to be building it by now........... was at the site it's in PA close to the NJ border on a nice piece of land but it seems they are not moving foward till they can get some funding.......... great concept, great local I just hope they can pull it off

 

Hey guys, lets try ot get some more info on this......i would LOVE to get involved in this place from the ground level aka founding father type of thing.

Imagine the VIP 6Speed room? Finger print access, leather couches, plasma's all around with SPEED on them

ahhhh i can see it now.....

 

 

I think that I saw info about this at The Radnor Hunt last year or the year before. I had an E55 at the time and wasn't really interested....now withthe TT, it would be great. I would love to get involved too!

i acutally looked into it very seriously...

As of now, NOTHING is built...but the track is layed out and they offer tours of the place. The course looks GREAT...but permits STILL need to be issued and I have no idea when the final production will be. The fees are like 5k for 8 uses a year...or 33k or so for unlimited use...but after 10 yrs, you get 20k back IIRC...

For those interested...look into the new track that is going to be in NJ near Milvill (sp) Airport...that will be built buy the guys who did VIR

 

I had a meeting with the President of Alpine about a month back. They have a greeting house built in which there is a big "model" of how the track is going to be layed out and what it will look like. We drove around the 360 acres in a lifted jeep and it seemed very nice. I have a ton of literature he gave me on how things are going to be. He said construction is going to begin in the Spring of 07, and will finish by fall of 08.

I did not sign up yet as I want to check with my members to see if they would be interested in driving our club cars on the track. Tracks are not for everyone.

Hopefully all goes well and it does open. If it does, you will see me up there!

P.S- This is my 1st post here! WooHoo!

 

Nothing like this is ever close to me!

 

I would def. like to hear more about this. Thanks!

 

Drew, the track by the Millville airport is a different place? That is the one i thought we were talking about - so there are TWO tracks planned for this area?!!! That is great news...

So where is the place on the PA/NJ boarder??? North Jers (NYC area) or down by Philly?

 

It is a little bit north of Lehigh Valley, in between Route 78 and Route 80. http://www.alpinesignature.com/

I haven't investigated the millville one but that is farther from me - better for the Philly crowd. http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/
