Default Chin at NJMP Thunderbolt (May 5-6)

Just getting the word out that Chin will be at NJMP Thunderbolt in a few weeks, May 5-6. The event offers the usual Chin 3+ hours of seat time per day - about double what many other events provide, and much less waiting around in the paddock. I'm not affiliated with Chin (other than instructing with them), but I greatly enjoy their well-run events and recommend them highly. Registration is complementary for instructors, and only one student assigned.

Absolutely-- Chin runs a great event with tons of track time.

Passing in corners, except in the novice group - with point-by.

A great organization.

I am a Chin instructor but have no other affiliation with them

Been doing chin since last year as well as some PCA events. Great time. I'll be there as well.

No affiliation with Chin, other than three-time participant (with fourth next month at WGI), but I can't say enough good things about Chin events. They're well run, fun, great instructors, and plenty of good drivers. There's also more track time than many people utilize.

Enjoy!

Definitely. I don't bother feeling rushed because the track time isn't scarce. It's a good time.

Thanks to OP for posting this.. Just signed up to instruct..

There's going to be a food truck festival if that helps any other folks thinking about signing up.

The food trucks were there last year (right next to the paddock), and there was indeed some excellent food there!

Get your food early! It was a bit of a zoo last year due in part to the nice weather.

REALLY wish I could be there, would be my first time at NJMP. But other commitments call.

I did my first ever Chin event back in May 2015 at Road Atlanta at the urging of a friend.
Haven't looked back since and have driven at least 60 days with Chin over at least a half-dozen tracks. As a student I thought they were FABULOUS:
Best organizers, most respectful, and most track time of any event.
And their new classroom content is exceptional.

Best bang for the buck.

THEN I began instructing with them in 2017.
As an instructor, I'd say they are OUTSTANDING.
Respectful of instructors, courteous driving enforced on track, and a well structured format for giving students feedback after each session.
It's objective and allows the student to receive technical feedback.
Plus, they have cookies for instructors.

I've instructed/driven with about 7 different PCA regions, 3 private clubs, and 2 BMW regions.
CHIN is THE best group I've run with, hands down.

I will be elsewhere this time, but I can say the food trucks last year were great. By far the best I've ever been fed at a track!
