Bodymotion is in Ocean NJ -- 2 hours

Powertech in Rockaway is further (2 hours -- I use them)

Precision Motorsports in Califon (2 hours)

There may be others but I don't know them
Good luck,

I use Precision Motorsports in Califon, but it is over two hours to NJMP. I would be happy to give you the owners contact info if you PM me.

There must be something near Cherry Hill, NJ, but I'm not familiar with them. Try contacting the tech or DE folks at Schattenbaum Region of PCA.

Dougherty Automotive in West Chester PA is only 1hour and 15 minutes from NJMP. Well known in Southern Jersey and Southeast Pa.

Thank you all for the recommandations guys.....

Bob, don't be surprised if I PM you at some point.......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, now....... Randy and Freddy and 930Rocket......

Since you asked...... I will keep it short

I am vacationing with the family at the beach in Avalon the last 2 weeks of August, doing the Kojote event at T-bolt 1 week prior to the CR at T-bolt......

I just want to be prepared with a reference for a shop in case I might need any help in the mechanical dept. before the race.

It would be cutting too much into my vacation to drive back and forth (NJ- CT) especially for any minor issues......

Kind of boring story, I know...... but there you have it.........

BTW, Freddy we now have the same exact suspension set up.....

I am hoping that helps my lap times........

Again...... thanks folks........

Paolo,

Your going to need to contract with a shop for race support. Dougherty offers support, but likes to be paid as a support team not an emergency IF provider. They also have CDOC at the track (Collin is Bill's Son).

Where in Avalon? We used to have a house at 60th & the beach. Great place.

Bob thanks for the input, but I was more thinking more in between events.......

Like if I needed anything after the Kojote event but before the actual race......

As far as track support, I usually have lots of friends willing to lend a hand.....
if it is more complicated than that, I sit it out and root for their races......

Dave, I don't have the exact address in front of me, but it is a home a block away from the ocean with plenty of room for the tow vehicle and trailer.....

I hear Avalon is a nice family place.....right?.....
