Has anyone ever gone to the TT race in Ashtabula?

[redroost85]

I think I am going to take a few days off this summer and see the big dogs race this year. Can anyone tell me about this race or their experiences there? I have heard it is worth going to. I have never been to a TT race so I am pretty stoked. What is the schedule Saturday and Sunday. I need to know when to show up for all the action. Also is there a place I can get some info sent to me? Thanks for all your help guys!:D

Yes,

I go every year to watch some of my friends race there. It is a very cool TT track and really nice place all around. There is a big pond there for swimming and people bring Jet Skies. You can watch from outside of the pits or pay$30 bucks to get a weekend pit pass. Th only bad thing is if you only come for the Sunday races they still nail you $30 bucks for a pit pass. Check Baldwinmotorsports.com for further info.

I have never been to a actual Race, but have been there 3 times riding with the Northeast Trail Riders club and that place is amazing. There is one heck of a Cross Country track in the back, with a MX track, and trails all over. Very nice place...

[mxdave28]

Well usually there anywheres from 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile on the norm.....i think every TT event with the exception of Ashta takes place on a Race car track using most of the oval and then using the insides....unless of course its a flat track race or "short track" race as they now have 3 events if i remember correctly. of course Orrville is actually called Wayne Co. Speedway, and the track down in Tn. is I-81 Speedway.... thats it pretty much in a nut shell

I have some Ashtabula TT pictures from last year on my site @ http://www.ohioquadracing.com/photos.php The track is awsome and always nice to go up to a sunny day. For the racers they even have a swimming area at the pond. One year Creech drove a jet ski around it. Its a cool place check it out if you geta chance.
