MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS REVVING UP FOR MOTORSPORTS COUNTRY CLUB IN TAMWORTH, NH

Interest Exceeding Expectations – More Than Fifty Days Reserved by Motorcycle Organizations



DERRY, NH – Club Motorsports, Inc. (CMI), developers of New England’s first motorsports country club (www.clubmotorsports.com), announced today that interest from motorcycle enthusiasts in their recently named Valley Motorsports Park has far exceeded expectations. According to Mike Botan, President of Corse Moto, an affiliate of CMI, motorcycle organizations have already reserved more than fifty “track days” at Valley Motorsports Park’s 3.3-mile European style road course, which is currently under development in Tamworth, New Hampshire.

“Initial response from the motorcycling community has been phenomenal,” said Botan. “It’s clear that motorcycle enthusiasts have been thirsting for this type of facility in the Northeast – a challenging yet safe road course engineered by a world-renowned designer like Alan Wilson. Valley Motorsports Park will allow riders to experience the performance and excitement of their machines in a controlled environment, free from the problems associated with street riding.”

Through Corse Moto (www.corse-moto.com ), motorcycle organizations such as Northeast Sport Bike Association and Sportbike Track Time have reserved more than fifty “track days” at Valley Motorsports Park over the next three years, according to Botan.

Botan said, “These organizations and individuals are very excited by the prospect of having a purpose built motorsports course that will have over three hundred feet of elevation change and four different circuit configurations. Valley Motorsports Park’s country club atmosphere and world class facilities will provide motorcycle enthusiasts with the amenities not normally seen at other race oriented facilities.”

In addition, Corse Moto has reached an agreement with one of the world’s largest and most successful motorcycle road racing schools to offer its course at Valley Motorsports Park. Keith Codes’ California Superbike School, which has trained thousands of motorcyclists in the art of cornering, will be coming to Valley Motorsports Park in August, 2004. The Superbike school trains motorcyclists throughout the United States, Europe and Australia.

A first-of-its-kind concept for New England, the Valley Motorsports Park development is located in wooded land off Route 25 in Tamworth, approximately two miles west of the intersection of Routes 25 and 16. Described as a “ribbon through the woods,” the road course would be available for use by its members, much like a golf course country club.

There would be no stands or stadium seating, as the road course is not designed to be a spectator facility. The $14 million Valley Motorsports Park development includes a 3.3-mile, 21-turn, European-style road course for drivers of cars and motorcycles to develop and practice their driving skills and attend performance and safety driving schools. In addition, Valley Motorsports Park will feature a vehicle dynamics area for driver development, short and long-term garage buildings, locker room and shower facilities, vehicle maintenance facilities, and a professional driving school. The Clubhouse will feature spectacular views of the White Mountains, function rooms, a pool, tennis courts, an automobile museum, additional locker rooms, a closed circuit media center, short-term lodging, and an elegant restaurant on its top floor.
