Due to scheduling conflicts I can't make any PCA DE's this summer till late august.

Any recommendations for other orginizations to track with in the North east area.

I am a beginner so good instruction is important to me.

thanks

 

where are you based out of?

 

go to MotorsportReg.com they have track days for the entire country

 

sorry, New Jersey

 

yes...thanks...

i was hoping for some recommendations for these schools....

 

You have Metro and NNJR PCA.

I've also done events with RTR PCA and they are also good.

Trackdaze you mentioned, they are great, going to NJMP for the 20th and 21st with them.

Chin Motorsports is another great organization.

You can also check out pdadrivingschool.com, its a bit more expensive, a bit more of a mix in terms of crowd, age, cars, experience, etc.

Then there's trackmasters if you do Watkins Glen. Thats the only track they do, and they are good as well.

MazdaSpeed also seems decent but I havent done enough with them to really say for sure.

My favorite are: track daze & chin, and the PCAs because it's usually quite cheap by comparison and no surprises even if they are a bit more by the book than any other organization.

 

thanks for the detailed response....all the PCA DE's you mention are just not possible on my schedule to the last week in august....I'm going to do Jersey Shore and maybe a day or two of schattenbaum.

I think I will be able to make PDA in NJMP on jun 20...(jun 21 is NG)..

thanks ago

Myself and a few others are doing Pocono FUSA (Or Pocono Long Double Infield as some call it) with HOD in two weeks (June 19th).

It's a pretty fun course. Big and FAST. Not very technical, but alot of fun if you like to go fast.

 

Try Audi Club. Northeast Quattro Chapter -http://www.neqclub.org

They have two Watkins Events, one end July one end August. I'm doing both. Great people, super instructors and you can take whatever car you like (doesn't have to be an Audi).

 

Have to disagree a bit here - Pocono is moderately fun if there are no other choices but is total crap compared to Watkins Glen. The second "infield" section of the double infield is like an access road they turned into part of the track. The "bowl" sections have some novelty factor but that wears thin. As you mention, it isn't very technical so from the perspective of working on a line and getting faster it isn't very satisfying. Just my opinion.

 

That's why I didn't classify it as 'Greatest Track on the East Coast' - I only said it's a 'pretty fun' course if you like to go fast. Which means it blows by comparison to just about every track in the USA; but for Pocono, and it's proximity to the Tri-State area, it's not bad.

On top of that, the FUSA (double infield) is the only course worth going to there. North blows, South sucks, and East is for bikes.

Agree that Watkins is a great track, it has something for everyone. Watkins, VIR Full, Calabogie and Lime Rock are at the top of my list.

 

We're on the same page. Calabogie is fun but, oof, what a hike from NYC. VIR is superb and LRP is a great little track. Pocono worth doing given the relative closeness. Montecello is very nice and about the same distance....Connecticut Valley Region PCA is doing full course for 2 days in mid-August.
