There are two tracks in the proposal / ground breaking stage around here, we'll see how/if they turn out; one is in NH, one is in western MA.

Limerock in CT , pretty close, but doesn't allow bikes.

Watkins glen in NY is 5 hours and has bike TD's once in a while... I'd REALLY like to ride there.... would be scary/fun as hell. You come down the main straight were a 600SS can easily get up to 150-160, and dive into turn one.... you're on the brakes hard downhill, turn one is a roughly 60mph hairpin (on-camber thankfully) that exits up hill WOT.... aka recipe for a highside. That's a 100mph speed drop on a downhill while tipping into the turn. I really want to ride there.

The NJMP will be around 4-5 hours, so that will be another nice option.

There are a couple in canada... one is near montreal, one is much further (by toronto) but is supposedly awesome. I don't know if either does bikes or not.

I am busier than you. You learn to make time for what's important. Pull that little white string hanging out of your vajayjay and come to the track.
Thing is I can't just say "hey army i gotta take 2 days off in the middle of the week to go ride my bike on a track" let alone just skip classes at the end of a semester for it. So don't tell me your busier than me. I have Army crap every weekend until the begining of May, on top of school and army stuff every day.

I'm just hoping you will fold to peer pressure, so we could ride at the track

You got your bike out of hibernation yet? We gotta ride.
