anybody know this place?

 I think it's time for me to wring out a throttle on a closed track before getting too old to do it. Has anyone done this? this is the first time I've heard of this track, haven't a clue where it might be without looking it up, has anyone done this track?
I think it might be weird/dangerous to try to run hard on a strange bike.What do you guys think?
A few Honda 500's, a few Honda 550's, a few Honda 650's, '72 cb 450, a couple 500/550/650 hybrids, and 2001 750.

Just looked up it's location. Holy crap it's 20 miles from my house! And I've never heard of it! How the hell could something like this have escaped me? I'm going to be planning a visit .

Field trip rb!    The course looks like it would be a blast and $399 is not bad for a track day.

My kid pays around $180 for a track day however he has to come with his own bike and complete riding gear, his body armored jacket, pants and boots cost him close to $1k so with that said that $399 doesn't sound bad at all being they supply the bike, fuel and suit. Being you would be a novice don't be surprised if the first few sessions on the track are at a slow pace so that you can get to know the course a bit and know the proper lines to take through the corners. Safety is #1 priority so they won't be letting you cut loose from the get go.
