starting track days

[moman]

Going to start hitting the track this year. Looks like closest one for me is Pocono as from what I've heard Monticello no longer does bike track days. Only group I could find that rides Pocono is Team Pro Motion. Anyone have any experience with them? They also do NJMP and Summit Point which I would like to ride sometime.

They are real nice guys and a lot of fun to ride with!
There is also NESBA but I would highly recommend TPM over NESBA!
Be Safe!

NESBA lists that they do Pocono but I see no dates for it in their schedule.

I can offer some input. I'm starting my second season of track days with Team Promotion. I'm 55 years old. They treat you great. Most of the people are very respectful of other riders. I primarily go to New Jersey since Team Promotion offers more dates at that location. Lots of guys from New York are usually there. After 35 years on cruisers, I wish I had converted to sport bikes 20 years ago. Go at your own pace and you will enjoy the experience. You'll be shocked how quickly you progress when you listen to the instructors. They really help.

I've ridden 3 track days with TPM and Glen & his crew are some good people. Take their new rider school...I can't remember what it is called but it helped me for my first track day. If you like track riding then try to take Keith Code's CA Superbike School...you will definitely improve your skills and confidence.

Thanks for the input guys, I've joined TPM. Going to try and make the first weekend at Pocono. If not will definitely be at NJMP 5/7. It's my understanding that a Snell helmet is required for NJMP, is that true? I plan on going to Keith's school, not sure if I'll be able to get there this year but it's on my bucket list.
