Im just getting back into quads, been away racing shifter karts, and formula cars. I have never raced quads and always been interested in TT or Flat track racing.
Where are some tracks i can check out in the NY area?
Any websites that show different classes and rules? Maybe I'm not googling well!
I have a Stock 87 250r

Here you go, check out
New East Extreme Dirt Track Series, they are out of NY. That series was North East EDT, but changed the name last year.
Wife & me operate the East Coast EDT here in North Carolina & some of the tracks we run on, the New east are scheduled to run on them as well. Both of these series have a site on FB.

Thats great thanks man, i busted turned 27 so we are close in age. i really would like to do TT bc its more like road racing as opposed to running on a oval.but regardless both seem fun

I can tell you this, when you run on some good Red Clay down here in the south, OHHH you are gona be so messed up. Aint no other dirt better you can race flat track or TT on than red clay. Theres some close to the feel, but thats just it, close.
I've had, I guess you would say, the misfortune of growing up on real tacky red clay tracks, so I'm messed up every where else I go if its not red.
I can leave my house & go in any direction, any road & be at some type of race track in less than 25~50 miles.
Oh, did you check out the New East site, they are going to have a great season this year.

Yea i check out the websites and looks very interesting…. I just don't understand the classes, i have a pretty much bone stock 250r and I'm a novice, what class would i be put into.
I have a fairly large SCCA race schedule this year for my cars but i would love to make it out to one of these races to really see what its about.

Now, I'm not 100% sure on the classes with the New East series, I think they are same as the east coast, but in our East Coast series, we pretty much follow the layout of the classes for the AMA/ATVA EDT.
AMA wise, any class you see that has "production" in the listing of the class, that means only a quad produced & sold today can be used in that class.
For the most part, we have changed the classes in the AMA series & only class that is production is the top Pro class, so that leaves open a bunch of classes.
East Coast EDT, I'll need to go back & be sure, but you could run any age restricted class, providing your over that age & probably an A, B or C class. Now if your R was a big bore, you could run it in an Open class & probably still could even being stock if you wanted to, but thats up to you.
I'll say this much, if you was to be able to be at our East Coast event, I'll make sure your in a class or at least 3 classes if you want run that many. You'll not be turned away thats for sure, not with me there. Those days are over at any races I have anything to do with, 2 strokes been kicked to the side way to long & thats over.
Maybe I should re-state that, that is until they turn my toes up & throw dirt on me, until then I'll be 2 stroke all the way.
