DO I NEED TRACK EXPERIENCE?
Absolutely not. Many of our members have never been on a race track prior to joining Monticello Motor Club. Our team of professional instructors will work with you one-on-one to help you progress at your pace and build confidence on the track. You’ll be driving solo in no time!
DO I NEED A DEDICATED TRACK CAR?
No at all. While quite a few of our members have dedicated cars for the track, many will drive up for the day in their street cars. They’ll check the tires pressures, don their helmets and off they go. As long as your car can pass a safety tech inspection, practically any car can be driven on the track. There are some limitations with convertibles, so please check with our staff to get more detailed info.
HOW MANY DAYS A YEAR IS THE TRACK OPEN?
Our 2011 season runs from mid-April until mid-November or until the snow falls. The majority of the days at MMC are reserved for members – unlike most tracks with member or driving clubs – so you can drive when you want to, on your schedule! In 2010 MMC was open more than 220 days!
WILL I FIT IN?
Our members come from diverse backgrounds, experience, and financial means. Some have multi-bay garages full of Ferraris, while others thoroughly enjoy throwing a Miata into a turn. Some want to learn to drive their new exotic at speed, while others strive to shave a tenth off their personal best lap time. We even have a number of professional racecar drivers who are members including Jeff Gordon, Chris Dyson, Emil Assentato, Nick Longhi, and Eric Lux. The one thing they all have in common? A shared passion for automobiles and driving.
WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY?
Monticello Motor Club management and members like to share their auto passion with family members. That’s why immediate family members are always welcome to join you at the track. We even have go-kart rentals for the younger drivers in the family. Have an immediate family member who wants to join so they can enjoy driving benefits, too? MMC offers a 50% discount in both initiation fees and annual dues to additional family members at the Gold or Silver levels!
