Have any of you driven at Monticello? If not, have some second-hand information about how interesting/enjoyable driving there is?
Thanks.
Larry

I wish that were in time to help me make a decision, but it's not -- although I would like to hear your impressions after you've been there.
I was invited by a friend to join him and the club he's with driving at Monticello August 20-21 - which is unfortunately when I'm already signed up for Summit with RTR, so I'd have to cancel and get a partial refund from RTR.

Larry, I will be running the full course, while there are several configurations. I have spoken to several people that have been there and they said that the track and facilities are only surpassed by European tracks. Flows well and it is silky smooth with nice elevation changes.
Check this video of my friend and Metro NY PCA racer, Demitri Mirisis.

Hope that this helps answer some of your questions.
Oh!..... and it takes about 3+ hours to get there........ Google it!

Thanks! Sure is a long track.
Just wondering, after watching the video: what is Demitri driving?

I have driven there during a Caddy CTS launch event where they used three track configurations. Track layout and flow were very well done.

He's driving a 914-6 (2.8L) with the windshield removed, hoosier bias slicks and a very well prepared racing car.
