I was there today but won't be tomorrow or Sunday. First time at NJMP. The track surface is very nice. My only complaint is the pit-out is built terribly (very wavy/bumpy asphalt) and there is no extended blend line, making pit-out between turns 1 and 2 kinda sketchy. It's fun to watch different people go all over the place in the "octopus." Overall, the event seemed like it was very well-run and I'm disappointed that I only got one day out of it.

All I got to say is......

NNJR put on a great event, all went well and I believe there was no carnage!
Thanks!

The Ruf 996 was stunning! That CMB Cayman had a very nice paint scheme, as well.

Had so much fun, was great meeting tons of new faces, and seeing the old ones hah.. Pete gorgeous pic's man, would love more pic's of my GT2, too bad we didn't get to chat man, it was hectic :/ Let's meet up soon!

As for the track? God was it fun!!!

See a bunch of you soon at some upcoming events! I'll try and get my video footage up soon..

I also need some help with my camera mount, as in the video you'll see, the vibration is TERRIBLE, I tried everything to try and cushion the camera to the mount and nothing worked!

Great event by NNJR. I only got to stay for 2 days but had a blast.

New "Pass Anywhere" with a signal rule rolled out by Pete for the Red run group. This was the first time it was allowed at this track with NNJR and it worked real well.

The CMG Caymen was not painted, that was a full wrap. Amazing work....

Had a great time and it was nice to meet everyone.

Martin, that GT2 is sick. I have never had a car pull so hard from me on a straight before.

I finally got the octopus down just when it was time to leave. Maybe next time. Paolo & Sean Nice to meet you and Gary always a pleasure since the car you sold me is a ton of fun. Cindy is doing really well and I might be needing a second track car soon since she seems to be taking this one over.

Sorry i didn't have chance to talk more and hope you guys figured out the track for the upcoming race. The three of you get my vote for the loudest out there and it was fun listening to you as you went around the entire track.

I think I spoke to everyone else at on point, couldn't ask for nicer conditions.

BTW the RUF cars were amazing.

Didn't have time to stop and chat, but we breezed through the paddock and got to admire some of the pretty cars... I was over at the Lightning circuit around the corner, running with EMRA - 944Cup car in the 3-hr enduro... fun track, great facility, gonna have to get back there again one of these days!

There appeared to be a number of Porsche's there. Was wondering what event that was.

the graphics on the CMB car were done by Matt who was in the garage doing graphics the entire event. He did most of the ALMS cars and equipment last year but since the series is somewhat dried up he was slow. Does amazing work. there are layers of film on that car and took a tremendous amount of time. I have his contact info if needed.

I was black flagged the first session Friday for loosing my magnetic numbers even with track tape. He was kind enough to replace them with decals for free.


Garry,

How did the 24 hours of lemons go?

Yeah, lotsa room on track!

Cool, yeah, I was co-driving the Go Army 944 (enduro only) and our team car, go figure, was the Fly Navy Spec E30 in with you guys...
