Hot Lap
This afternoon I did ¾ of a lap on the Southern Road Circuit at New Jersey Motorsports Park, Thunderbolt Raceway. This course
will feature over 2.25 miles of asphalt, 14 challenging turns, a one half mile straightway and approximately 40 acres of full service paddock space.

Just wondering if a new track this small will the the attention of the pros
On the Grand-Am schedule only Daytona, VIR and Miller are longer than 3 miles. The others are between 2 and 2.7 miles (7 tracks including the shorter Glen course) and 2 shorter than 2 miles LRP and Iowa.
If they have the accommodations they will come.

James,
When an earth mover gets stuck, 2 are hooked together in tandem using one as a pusher and the other as a puller.
I took a wide sweeping 180 degree turn with 15 degrees of banking. This track is awsome! As is, it's perfect for a RUF Porsche Twin Turbo CTR C4 with a lift kit!

Yes, Jamie. It's me. 
I moved to OC in 2004 and never knew that there were any PCA members here.
I was President of Riesentoter PCA in the late 90's and didn't transfer into Schattenbaum when I moved. I instruct every RTR event.
I'll be at Pocono Monday instructing for the DelVal Miata Club then on vacation for a week, then heading to the Glen for a 3 day RTR event starting 8/3.
Let's get together sometime. We can tour the new track with Doug and Glen.
Regards,
Nick

Hey, how about some of us Central NJ types?
How about posting a thread about a track walk and setting up a GTG? Some of us from Ocean and Monmouth county might like a little drive down there.
