    I am new to using this bike and still getting used everything my husky has to offer. I am real curious of trying it on a track. Ive never ridden in any kind of race or been on a track before.

    Im looking for a track to try close/around hudson valley area of New York. I love riding my bike on the backroads and taking corners low as I can, for my level. Im not the best rider because Ive only been riding bikes for 4 years now. I am just real interesting and checking things out.

    Anyone got ideas for me on where to begin and how?

    Thanks,

    B

    Talk to the guys over at supermoto junkie. There are a few guys racing amateur sumo over there. Also, I know there is a club called New York Sportbike. Theyre pretty chill and cool guys. I believe they still do track days at Pocono. If they have a "Pocono East" course track day, that would be more technical and less straight stretches, plus it runs counter clockwise which makes it a little more fun on the back brake.
    Another track to look into would be PIRC which used to be called Beaverun. Its a bit of a drive-Pittsburg area, but they have a kart track which they use for supermoto. Youtube it.

    There used to be a track day club called redduc. It was cheaper than the rest and they had smaller groups. You could always ask what track may be best. You can also check out East Coast Supermoto and do a day with them, if nothing else meet up at a kart track and have someone to ride with
