As ****ed up as California is, New Jersey is worse!!!! Cops giving tickets at race tracks, can't pump your own fuel, and it can only be held in red jugs?!?!?!? What other laws does "Jersey have?
Fight the tickets and BOYCOTT the track until the cops are gone. Seriously, how do you guys put up with this? The track should be a sanctuary from this bull****....

well the red jug thing is pretty much standard law isn't it? i wouldn't want to see someone carrying around gallons of gasoline in a milk jug. like blue jugs for kerosene and yellow for diesel.
but yea ticketing cars that are on private race track and not on public highways is BS

Hey Eric,
Nice video! Looks like I was slowing you up a bit...Sorry! It was my first time racing at Thunder, and I still had a few corners to figure out. Nice clean racing with you and Martin, though. Wish I had windshield wipers!

That being said, the track must know that this isn't good for business. I'd have to think that a well-timed campaign contribution may go a long way.

The cop was WRONG about the code on the harnesses -- the two year requirement shows up under Oval Racing, drag racing, etc, but not under:
SUBCHAPTER 3. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR VEHICLES AND PERSONNEL: ROAD RACING AND HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING SCHOOLS
§ 13:62-3.7 Safety belts, shoulder harness and crotch belt
(c) All vehicles (except motorcycles) participating in
racing, racing event practice, qualifying or testing shall require
a minimum of a five-point safety belt for each occupant
meeting one of the following standards:
1. SFI 16.1 or SFI 16.5, incorporated herein by
reference and available at http://www. sfifoundation.com,
seat belts shall be valid until December 31st of the second
year after the date of manufacture punched or indicated on
the SFI tag. There shall be one original tag attached to one
of the two shoulder belts, one original tag attached to one
of the lap belts and a third original tag attached to the
crotch belt.
2. FIA 8853, incorporated herein by reference and
available at http://www.fia.com/ spor t /
Regulations/standregs.html, seat belts shall be valid for
five years from the year of manufacture. Belts are

Bull**** like this will not stand a court challenge. But the PRNJ strikes again! And you dingdongs want to re-elect Corzine, whose own wreck at 95 MPH, w/o seatbelts, in a State Trooper Suburban showed how some pigs are more equal than others in your laughhole of a state.

If you look at the header it mentioned DE along with racing. Worded such that DE seems to be included. The paddock speed of 5mph is going to be broken every minute of the day.
I could just see it on National TV at a Grand race with a DP car pulled over and JPM getting a ticket handed to him. " Drivers License please". Whaaaaaaa? I don't drive car, I race the car!!!!!!!!!!!"

BTW, this was all covered back when NJMP was first opening. At that time the major issue was the State's regulations around helmets.

The rest of the statute clearly lists when the law should be applied and it seems that a normal DE would be exempt. I wonder if an unregisteted car would even be allowed in a DE though.
