Information
Give yourself a taste of what road racing is all about through our track tour program, Thunder Road Tours. What is a lap around New York's Thunder Road really like? How about this:
Follow the pace car down the FrontStretch into the Ninety, twist, climb and claw your way up through the Esses and onto the BackStretch, braking as you hit the Inner Loop and navigate the Carousel turn, then drop off the face of the earth into the depths of the turn-heavy Boot, climb your way out into Turn Ten, regain your senses and make a run for the finish line!
