Can anyone give me directions from the Mass Pike? I am coming from Boston, Ma. I also heard Walden is racing this weekend? What is really going on??? I would like to race both tracks this weekend if possible? Gary Lussier # 37 Expert

Okay, Diamondback is racing SUNDAY. From the Mass Pike take 84 all the way right onto the NY Thruway, watch for signs that say Newburg. Get off on exit 7N, turn right to 300 North, to Rte 32, track is 10 miles up on the left. There's all kinds of major hotels at 7N & NY Thru Way. Super 8, Marriot, Days Inn. Walden is holding an open practice on MONDAY. From Diamondback it's only like 10 miles. Come out of Diamondback, turn right, at Sunoco Station turn Right, go approx. 5 miles to telecommunication tower, road forks onto Orchard drive, go right onto Orchard Drive, track is on the left. Hartford is kinda a pain on the way home, I think it's 661 that avoids it, check a map and you'll get home 15 mins. faster. Have fun. Carlo Cohen runs Diamondback (www.motocrossone.com 914-565-0379, coensmx1@aol.com) and waldenmx.com has a great web page.

My husband says my directions aren't the best! Here, I'll let him type them in. Take the Mass pike to 84 west, through Hartford etc and cross the Hudson River into NY on 84. Take exit 7N onto rte 300 north. About five miles up it will meet 32 going north. Stay on 32 for about 10 miles into Plattekill and watch for the ACE/Diamondback sign on the left side of the road, very low (only about 4 foot high). If you zip by, just go down a little ways and turn around in the gas station on the right.

Yep...much better, and if you do want to avoid hartford or are coming from further east take 91 south to 691 (thats the one peg :) which will bring you to 84 EAST!
