Holiday Inn Express is good, near all the chain food shops, 10 min. from center of Millville, less than 20 from the track. Even cheaper is where I stay now, Ramada in Vineland.. and a full, served breakfast comes with it!

Have you checked the VIP suites at NJMP?

The windgate in Vineland is always good and reasonable and has a bennigans in the parking lot!

Just spoke to a friend who asked me who was handling my pit support. Told him none was needed so I think you may be correct.

My bet is that they'll combine the enduro groups if the entry is thin. I think PCA needs to revise the enduro policy. I don't like to sign up ahead of time, like I did at WGI, only to find my car isn't fit to run it after so much racing all weekend. No refund. If we're allowed late sign up, like at the event, or offered a refund, you'd see the entry increase.

I bet they will be happy to take your money at the event should you want to run the enduro, but I could be wrong!

Ramada has a Dakota Steakhouse and bar downstairs... neither of which I would say are 5 Star...

I assume both points races are Sunday ? I wonder if PCA is looking at changing this next year.

I think all races should be points races. I'm basically thinking about not running on Saturday as I don't know if it is worth the risk.....If I get in an incident on Saturday then I can't compete on Sunday. Seems I'm more concerned with getting friggin' points than racing, an internal conundrum with which I am not comfortable.
