Thunderbolt Raceway, Vineland, NJ

I was checking the California Superbike school website, and lo and behold, they have class sessions scheduled for August at Thunderbolt.
In New Jersey, no less.

is this a proper excuse for frame sliders, or what?

New Jersey? here? a track?
25 minutes from home?

One thing that worries me is that the track is not built yet? It's estimated to be completed June 2008:

One thing's for sure, these guys are not too forthcoming with information. When I called to ask some questions, they yelled at me over the phone to wait until the track is finished. They haven't answered either one of the two emails I sent either.

Typical NJ as$holes. I wonder if this track is be built by Mafia contracting like everything on McGuire AFB is?

Yeah, I wonder how many "problems" were solved under our new runway?

I don't know, I'd love to run on a track but on the flip side of that coin, I don't want to use my primary street bike as a race bike. The Hawk is a collectors item so I refuse to turn it into a race bike like most other Hawkers do.

What I need to do is buy a SV650S & turn it into a race bike. Now that the Mafia (I'm surprised it's not called Vito The Knife Raceway) is building a track close to my house, that makes that a more interesting proposition. Now I need to find a way to convince the Wife that such a thing is a necessity.
