Directions to Rocky Ridge Speedway, South Barre, VT.
From points south, Mass, Conn.
Take I93 or I91 north to I89 North. Get off at Exit 6 (South Barre) in Vermont, this is about 45 minutes north of the Junction of I91 and I89 (White River Jct, VT). Bear right off ramp onto Rt 63, follow 63 down the hill to intersection with Rt 14, about 3 miles. Go Straight thru intersection onto Middle Rd. Follow this for a few miles, it turns into Granitville Rd. You will see Rock of Ages Granite Co on left, shortly before the main rd turns sharp left, you want to stay straight onto Baptist St, keeping the small playground on your left. If you come to the Graniteville General Store, turn around you are just past Baptist St. Once on Baptist Look for a dirt pull off on left (large pile of granite in trees just behind this), the green gates (no sign) to the track are on right immediatly across from this pull off. Continue up long drive, stay left at top, until you see the track and a friendly pit gate attendant.
It's not as far in the back country as it sounds, about 5-6 miles from the highway and you pretty much just stay straight.

well guys, forget that 11 am thing. I had an unexpected family issue to deal with at the last minute which put me at rocky ridge around 2:30 pm I got there just in time to see one white van with a red bike in the back. I did not see anyone standing around the van so after about 30 minutes of watching my old sport, the shifters ..I decided to head back to b-town. Bummer....I really wanted to talk to someone about this and see how I should be getting started with a new bike etc. anyway, my fault. Ill be here digging for as much info as possible for next season. FYI- looking to buy a bike, so anyone selling an old bike and getting new for next season, let me know....
what you only so one bike ,that's weird ,they call me from my job so i had to fill for somebody else (yea it suck) hopefuly one of the guys will lets us know what happen,i hope it didt happen to you the same thing it happen to me, i went to the wrong track.
There were 9 of us there racing. Most were behind the hill in the back of the pit.They pushed up the pocketbike race schedule due to the snow that was on the way.
I was definately at the right track. Only saw a white van (dodge?) with a trailer (wooden) with a red PB in the back. I was wayyyyyyy late. anyway, I might have my bike problem solved now just trying to figure out what the best way to go is to start. Yes, I have a kart for sale. no motor, but chassis, pipes, gears, seats, etc. chassis is ready for the motor (can go yamaha KT100 -super fast) or shifter.
