Are you guys running with instructors for new drivers? I see Lighting mentioned so I assume its the smaller track you will be on. Not too many sections to remember for the 1st timer which is nice.

I haven't been able to locate the website with the event information. I have been doing HPDE events for nearly 11 years, so I don't know what the event organizers will require as far as a track resume or grouping for instruction. Drove the lightning course for a TT event with EMRA. It's an interesting layout. Not difficult as such, but there are one or two segments that requirea good bit of precision in terms of entry and exit placement and judicious throttle control. The one long straight is just a bit too long for my 4th gear and 3.42 rear ratio. I run out of revs too late to upshift, too early for the braking point. There's some decent in-car video of the track on YouTube.

I was curious if they were looking to recruit. I've instructed there once before with the NY Viper club; kinda small for big horse power as you mentioned but still a fun track. For that matter most any track experience is always fun!

I haven't searched around this forum much, but I'm glad to see it on NJFBOA. I raced with EMRA a few times and currently PCA and NASA. Spec and GT class depending on what car I had at the time. Took last year off and I'm itching to get back.

Know what you mean, I only got out for one event last season. Health issues had me down for much of the driving season and little time was left after getting the car prepped for the track (my car is still street legal and needs to be set-up for each event). Looking foward to cleaning off the cobwebs.

Not sure how the event organizers will handle the instructional situation, but I'd be somewhat surprised if they didn't have their instructor roster finalized well in advance of the event. However, I'm not familiar with the group so I am only going on what I've experienced elsewhere. Guess you could try to contact them and ask them about instructing.
Looking forward to seeing you at NJMP. My car is the Black '02 Z-28 pictured in my signature (no, but I wish the Trans -AM Camaro in the pic was my ride).

Non-issue. From 2 days ago.

We wish to emphasize that these changes will have no effect on 2011 scheduled events or other social events booked at NJMP. All current and future track rental deposits are secure and will be credited to your account. Payment for all scheduled track rentals is expected per your Facility Rental Agreements. We look forward to an exciting 2011 season and continuing our relationship with you.


So, if you hear rumors, don't worry, our date is set and is fine. Like alot of places, Chapter 11 is a reality these days, but it will not effect us. I just wanted to post this up so you know the truth from the horse's mouth, we are fine.

Ah ok. I won't be there Friday. Guess it's just me and Jensend.

Does anyone know if we are allowed to have passengers in the car while we lap the track? My buddy is coming to spectate, and I'd love to have him join for a few runs.

Not sure. Spectators are ok.

And remember your S rated 2000+ helmet.

Yeah, it seems NJ is outlawing M rated ones in auto racing. Or something like that
