Excellent facility with friendly staff... well except for one gentleman. Personally though I think…read morethe fees are excessive. I realize these types of venues will set fees especially high to avoid memberships by the 'riff-raff', but even if fees were cut in half you wouldn't find the riff-raff knocking down the door.

Monticello Motor Club is a members only track club for people who like to race cars for fun. They…read morebought an old airport that had shut down and created a several mile long track with 20+ turns and lots of elevation changes. The track itself is only 3 years old, so the pavement quality is excellent, no cracks or anything. They have a brand new clubhouse that cost several million to build that has a cafe/bar, a members lounge, locker rooms, pro shop, and classrooms that the track racing pros use to teach members racing skills. This place is tucked away in the very quiet picturesque country town of Monticello, NY, in a gated facility. It is a great place to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon, in my opinion. Members can either bring their own cars or pay extra and use one of their cars. They have a fleet of Cadillac CTS-V cars as well as more exotic cars like the uber-rare Ford GT. The staff are very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and are as passionate about cars as the members. I had the pleasure of being driven around by the head racing professional in a CTS-V. HOLY CRAP. We were hitting 145 mph in the straights and powersliding through tight corners. It was awesome. I want to go back tomorrow!!

What a thrill. Just got home and have been bouncing off the walls (figuratively) since 3 PM, when I…read moredid my 8 laps at Pocono Raceway for Father's Day. What a ride! We arrived for the 1:30 session. You do a 30 minute classroom introduction, which teaches you about the track, the turns, the flagger's signals, the turn in points, and all necessary procedures. The instructor knew his stuff, answered questions well, was personable, yet made it clear that we were undertaking a potentially risky activity, and that we must know what we are doing. Next, we walked to the garages, where we looked at one of the cars and got a crash course on all the safety gear, the tach, entry/exit, and driving procedures. Off to the vans, where we were given a tour of the track once the previous session's cars were clear. Even at just 65 MPH, the track is certainly not smooth, yet we learned passing procedures (only if told to do so), entry points, exit points, apexes, and the three different turns. Once off the vans, we suited up, grabbed a helmet, and waited on pit road. Some chose to do the "ride along" first, to get a feel for the track,while most just waited their turn. Drivers were assigned cars based on their hight, as the seats are not adjustable...so when a car that fit you was available, it was your turn! Pictures in front of the car were taken, and then last minute instructions were given before you were strapped in and given permission to roll off. Directions were clear, simple, and necessary. Basically, one instructor drives the 'pace car", while two students follow...so you are in a group of three, playing "follow the leader". No passing, no side-by side action, no seeing who can out-brake the other. It's very simple. The instructor picks up the pace each lap, provided that drivers are hitting their marks and keeping pace with him. If the middle car is slower, the flagman will tell him to move over and let the third car past, so that he is not hindered...and if necessary, another instructor will come out to "pace" the slower car. So what's it like? Incredible. Viceral...had to be there! Unexplainable. The sound inside the car as you work through the 4 gears leaving pit lane is amazing, and once on the track, you just trust this crazy beast will go where you point it, because your logical brain tells you that the car won't handle that well...yet it does. Putting the hammer down on the 600 horses on the front straight and hearing the RPM's scream as you finally get off the gas into turn 1 is incredible. Again, viceral...the sounds, the rattles, the g-forces pulling you to the right...all of your senses on hyperdrive...it goes by too quickly. Once the 8 laps were over, we decelerated and coasted into pit lane, where the car was shut down, the tach checked to see the max RPM (which was 8,000 for me...translates to 160 MPH) and fire suits, etc returned. I can't express how cool this was, especially for someone who enjoys any motorsports, especially nascar. The only drawback is that being the third car in our group- which I was- puts you at the mercy of the second car...for if he doesn't petal fast enough, you may lose out on the opportunity to go faster overall. I was a bit impeeded, but I'm still happy to get to 160! You must be able to drive a standard/manual tranny, have a driver's liscense, and wear sneakers and gloves. Cost for the 8 lap/20 mile run was $499 Monday or Wednesday, or $559 weekend/holiday. Photos were one for $25, two for $50, or three for $55. Costly? Heck ya. Worth every cent? Today, yes. Be back? Definately, some day...at this price, it's worth it, but is definately cost-prohibitative. In all, an experience I will rave about for quite some time!

Horrible experience from start to finish. The entire event was completely rained out I wasn't able…read moreto enjoy anything I paid for. I understand weather is unpredictable, but what made this situation far worse was the appalling customer service I received when I reached out to discuss a refund or even a simple reschedule. I do not live in the area and was trying to be reasonable in asking for some type of accommodation since I wasn't able to experience what I paid for. Ian, however, treated me with the most disrespectful, rude, and dismissive attitude imaginable. From the second I brought up the issue, he acted as if I was inconveniencing him by even asking a question. He refused to work with me in any way. no understanding, no willingness to discuss options, nothing. His tone was completely unprofessional and frankly condescending. It was made very clear that getting a refund was "not going to happen," as he put it, with absolutely zero empathy or customer care. I've never been treated so poorly when simply trying to get a fair resolution. To take people's money for an event that was rained out and then treat them with such blatant disrespect when they seek help is completely unacceptable. I will absolutely never recommend this experience to anyone and would strongly advise others to avoid it. Customer service should never make a bad situation worse but Ian certainly did.

My old Tourette psychologist recommended I come to Limerock 5 years ago, to try and pick up men…read morehere. She always said or assumes that is pick up joint for couples to meet. As awkward, weird or interesting as her thoughts around this are, I would have liked to think there is more substance to that shallow remark she gave me in the office. For example, knowing I do enjoy the mountains, rural life and cars, those are other great reasons to suggest going to Limerock. Limerock has a FABULOUS track and with the Berkshire mountains overlooking the track, it's even more stunning. The races are all day events so you don't necessarily have to show up when doors open. You do need to bring your own chairs and there is food on the premise. Honestly, I packed my own picnic goodies and brought my own homemade lunch while i sat and watched the race. I was at the Memorial day and mid July races and even in May it can get really hot which became uncomfortable after a few hours. If you can't be in the heat due to fainting, dizziness, etc, be cautious if you decide to go to Limerock. I had to leave at around 2pm or so, because i wasn't able to sit outside for that long. Also bring a hat, specific garments to have for all kinds of weather. You can layer up or dress loosely depending on weather.
