    Wanted to say thanks to all the STT staff for a great weekend. Perfect weather helped but everything from a little splash of gas, some help with suspension, great food, friendly people, even a camp fire with marshmallos, and watching the USGP after 2 days of riding just made it a very fun time. Did I mention the food? Lance's BBQ was outstanding!!

    For anyone that didn't make it this time I would recomend coming next time. I liked the track better than Pococno East by far. Even though it's short it has elevation change, off camber corners, decreasing radious, double apex, S's. Especially if you are Novice or Intermediate you should try it. It's a good place to learn alot in a short time. Running it the opposite way on the 2nd day was great too. And for the price, how can you go wrong?? Anyway it was nice for us to have small groups but hopfully more people will come next time so they keep the date. I'm 5+ hrs away but I'll be going back for sure.

    Guys, I just want to say thanks for everything. Great track day, great weather, good friends and good food. I had a lot of fun at that 'little' track. i think i had more fun than I typically do at Pocono East. See you in a month at FUSA??

    running the opposite direction was even more fun than the normal clockwise route. it adds another high speed area, but youre leaned over!!

    good BBQ, good people, great track. what more can you ask for?

    Hey everyone, Sunday was my first experience with STT and I had a blast. Couldn't have asked for better weather! I was on the silver 636 in Intermediate with the red/silver leathers. I was a little nervous going into it after reading we would be running Jefferson the opposite direction (I think I've run it clockwise about 5 times now) but wow, I like it even more counter-clockwise! I also liked the pacing of the groups and even though I was in Intermediate, it was really nice to see how you guys structure the Novice class, it will get my recommendation to a few friends that want to get their feet wet on track.

    I didn't catch his name, and I should have, but the CR on the maroon/black 06+ 750 was quite helpful. We were pitted across from each other and he took the time to walk over a few times and give me feedback on how I was doing and gave me some great words of encouragement.

    I hope to do some more track days with you guys, come down to Summit more often!! :D

    Yeah it was me (Frank). Thanks for the mention but I was just doing my job. Hope you are able to do more track days with us and I know you will be in the Advanced group in no time. Stay smooth.

    No one there taking pictures. The guy from Race Day Photo decided there was not enough people there to stick around. He was scheduled to be there Sat. and Sun..

    STT, you guys are awesome! This is my first time doing track with you guys and by far the best. Specially for beginners like my self. I've done JC 3X with Nesba and I learned so much from your ORG within that one day.

    Going counter-clockwise on JC is definitely better that clockwise. I wish there's more schedule in Summit!

    Great weekend, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who was able to convince me saturday night wasn't the night to do work.

    Track walk was awsome and actually helped out.

    Special thanks to Mike and Betsy for helping me get home ;)

    I'm in Bowie also, we gotta hookup. I was on the Blue R6 #500

    Back to topic:
    I had a great day going counter-clockwise on Jefferson Sunday. STT definitely puts on a great day; the instruction in the Beginner class was definitely very helpful. Way more instruction than with other organization's track days.

    Hopefully next year they'll come to Summit more often.
