    Hi, all.

    New guy here itching to get his Daytona 675 on a track for the first time.

    I'm toying with the idea of riding the Monticello South Course on May 30th.

    Is that too technical of a track for a first timer?

    BTW, I am already signed up for two days at Talladega GP in July (I have family that lives nearby).

    Thanks for the inputs.

    Brad

    Monticello south is a perfect track for a new rider. The track has perfect surface with lots of grip. Its technical in the sense that you are always doing something, turning , braking, moving on the bike. The front straight has a top speed of about 115-120 so speeds should not be intimidating but it does have a lot of mid speed corners 3rd gear. Nice elevation also.

    Its a great track for a new rider, Thats exactly why STT kept it on the schedule for 2010.

    Definitely go- it will be fun and the current forecast calls for a strong chance of BBQ.

    Scooter,
    I have not been there yet...I hear it's a lot of fun! I can't make April 26, have to go out of town that week. I was looking at the end of May dates and think I'll do the two days. Let me know if you're going and I'll keep an eye out for you...
