Cool GET YO TRAK ON!?! NJMP upcoming track days..... Lightning/Thunderbolt

Courtesy of www.MotorsportReg.com, a kickass site

Who can make it to what? I'm hoping to catch one event in April after DGRR, one in May and one in June.

Scrubs, Rennapoo, Ambrosius, Tiggy, BP12A, Theorie, MLDoom, Rick, Collin, Amp, Dennis, Poopernaut, anyone ?

Here's what's out there:

•April 30/May 1 (mon/tues)---PCA of N. NJ-----L&T, Advanced drivers only

•May 21 (mon)-----------------BMW CCA NY-----Lightning

•June 4/5 (mon/tues)---------BMW CCA NJ-------Thunderbolt

•June 9/10 (sat/sun)---------PCA RTR------ Lightning

•June 15/16 (fri/sat)---------PCA N. NJ------Thunderbolt

•June 18/19 (mon/tues)------Audi NE chapter------ L&T


Yes Please!

I'm aiming for september 10/11. I hope I can have my FC ready by then. It's going to take a lot of work (aka money). In the meantime in june i'm going for the gusto: skip barber racing school up at limerock or 3 days (june 11-13). Then June 14th one more day at limerock with SCDA1.com in my trusty honda. Hey, when in Rome...

AHHH! I'm going to be limerocked-out (and broke)

June 15 & 16... TEMPTING. I loved thunderbolt and it's a saturday...

My first event will be at NHMS with COMSCC in May (Memorial Day and the following Tuesday). You should head up North for a couple of days.

Count me in for a couple days in June!

The only problem is... New Jersey. 4.5 hours of traffic and 4354538 tolls to get get there

Subscribing. Can't make it in May/June but if there are any fall events people plan on attending I may be able to make one.

Curious... what does everyone do about insurance? It is my understanding now that insurance companies no longer cover any type of event. They say specifically there is no coverage if you are off road on any type of roadway designed for high speed driving. Some specifically call out auto cross and HPDE. I've also read that if you call some companies and ASK, they drop you!

Of course the best policy is "don't crash" but you never know...

I don't think there is enough evidence that companies will "drop you" because you inquired. Driver's are allowed to shop around for quotes without disclosing too much information about yourself and still can inquire about HPDE driving events.

My understanding is that you should remove/cover all license plates before entering the track. Then, in the event should you crash, you should find some way to tow the vehicle elsewhere (meaning anywhere but the track). Then take it up with your insurance company.

Or better yet (to play it safe, sound and legal) you can purchase this - http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c.../hpdeinsurance

Hope this is helpful and see you on the track soon.

I have only read of some horror stories of people getting dropped because they simply asked. Obviously you can call them and pretend you don't already have insurance with them and are just "trying to find out".

I already do the whole taping of the plates thing. I remember a while back reading about Mitsubishi cancelling warranties on EVO's because they would catch people at the track via the plate number.

Thanks

I'm headed out to the event tomorrow bright n early from Casa De Scrubbeh..... assuming I'm the only rotary sucker going.

Btw guys, if you plan to go to NJMP this year as a spectator or racer, go ahead and sign up here now as it's a requirement:
