New Jersey Motorsports Park

[thebigjimsho]

Just got a preliminary schedule from PDA for 2008. I'd love to get to the new New Jersey track slated to be operational by June. Anyone from the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states interested in running there next year?

P.S. I also hear that Palmer Motorsports Park has got the go ahead from the local planning board and just has to get final approval from the Mass EPA. The 2.14 facility should be a go for 2010.

See you there. http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/htm...ct_status.html

I've been looking forward to that place opening for a while, and of course, now that it is the Navy is moving me out of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic. Damnit!!

I saw that was on the Chin lineup for next year.

I got the OK for 4 events next year (not including the one summit in may). I need to figure out when & where.

Jim do you have a rough idea when you are looking to go?

I want to do at LEAST 2 events @ VIR.

BTW, Chin was awesome. More track time than you can shake a stick at. Also in Blue group they have basically passing anywhere with a point by. While 85% of the passing was done at the normal straights, it was nice to have the option of giving that 911 turbo the point by just before oak tree, or after Nascar before turn 4.

I would be interested as long it doesn't conflict with my 08 race schedule.

I'm looking at next fall.

But if I see an event that uses both courses(I believe) like VIR, I may drop everything...

Heh, well... Chin is gonna use both, but not like you want:

"2 tracks in 1 event! Monday:"Lightning", Tuesday:"Thunderbolt" "

I'm thinking the Nov Chin date for VIR. While the weather was PHENOMINAL there this past weeken (65 both days), I caught flack from my wife doing a DE a few weeks before X-Mas.

That looks very doable. The great thing about NJ or Pocono or Watkins Glen is that I can drive home the night of the track day and not miss work the next day. Actually, Summit is about 6 hours from me as well.

I have to say that while I was born and raised here and love Boston, I wish I had the plethora of tracks in close proximity to you...
