Staying out in NJ for two months during the summer, what to do?

Hey guys I'm going to be living out in Atlantic City from June to August during the summer for an internship. I'll be coming all the way from Northern California! And I'm bringing the FC too!! So, what is their to do, where to go, and any drift/road racing events I can get into? I have some family in both D.C and N.Y. but its my first time in N.J. So, I'll need some help out there. I'm going out there in a month! Take it easy guys and here's some photos for joy

we have e-town events
basically parking lot events

besides that, auto-x events.
we dont have any road courses.

anything more you have to go out of state.

I jus found out the place isn't as free as I expected. They'll take a small portion out of my pay for the rent, but eh who cares. I'll still have money

depending on what kind of music you like, you can check out House of Blues, occasionally some decent concerts there, also Borgata might have some decent concerts over the summer. Tool is going to be in AC on June 9 but the show is sold out
