It is the only DE I do that my entire family comes to and we make a 5 day trip out of it.
Love the area as well as the track.
Still trying to find info on the NER/NNJR DE there that's usually over the July 4th holiday. Can't seen to find any confirmed registration info or dates.
Any help from anyone here would be appreciated. Thanks.

LCMT is an amazing track, and the area is 2nd to none when it comes to activities "outside" of the track.
It is the only DE I do that my entire family comes to and we make a 5 day trip out of it.
Love the area as well as the track.

we did the same a few years back
while I was at the track the wife and kids had plenty of hiking, biking, kayaking, gondola rides, birds of prey show etc...
lots of nice restaurants and bars in the pedestrian village and at the hotels there also

It's an awesome track with one big advantage over other tracks, great hotels, restaurants and nightlife less than a 5 minute drive away. If you bring family with you they will have tons to do while you're at the track.
HOWEVER, an unfortunate issue to be aware of is the VERY restrictive noise levels that are STRICTLY enforced as of last year. The sound limit is supposedly 92db (but due to the way sound is measured it could be lower) with many PDK Porsche cars (all GT cars) and even some 718's running stock exhaust are regularly black flagged for noise, Most people are tying off their side exhaust valves completely closed which seems to work. Muffled turndowns also help but if you have any aftermarket exhaust components and plan to shift a full rpm levels you will almost surely blow sound. Just want folks to be aware before making a long trip without ensuring they have taken care of their noise levels.

Yes, we had numerous cars last season getting black flagged for noise. These were pretty much ANY GT car as well as stock turbos and street cars that were unmodified. They were taking the readings under the tunnel before the left hander so the sound was amplified a lot and reverberating inside and under the bridge.
I’ve heard numerous reasons for this type of reading but most seemed to point at the town vs the track, or something of that nature.
We had more than a few cars at our event that were told they couldn’t run anymore which really sucked for those drivers. Long long way to go to get noise violated off the track. People were very upset. Made the most of the trip, but still sucked. I actually let a buddy of mine drive my car in Red and I drove in Black because he was noise violated out of the event. Buyer beware I suppose with the noise....
Edit: His car was a stock 2003 Turbo I believe.

For a newer GT car you have two choices: tie your side exhaust valves closed (a 5min procedure performed at the track by one of the two Porsche dealers offering support at the track) or leave PDK on normal setting and turn off the sport exhaust setting. Both have worked for me and I have never been black flagged for noise.
Hope my experience above help alleviate any concerns for folks coming from far away.
