NJ BMW at NJMP with NASCAR K&N
Rennlisters,
I wanted to let you know that NJ BMW will be sharing NJMP Thunderbolt with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2 weeks on Sep. 16-17. This will be a highly unusual event in that we will have driver school cars, Club Racing and also K&N professional racing at the same event.
Complete descriptions are on all the event registration pages on Motorsportreg but let me summarize:
Driver School: Open to advanced solo drivers and instructors (will be verified). 3 hours of unstructured time Friday morning (9am - 12 noon) and then an additional hour Sat morning (9-10 am). Package includes a VIP spectator ticket (BBQ food and drink on Sat with special viewing area). Cost: $250; registration limited to 35 cars. Register here: http://msreg.com/NJTboltDS2016
Club Race: Total of 3 sprint races on Friday and Sat. Friday has practice, qualifying and race all in the afternoon (K&N intersperses practice time with us). Sat is morning practice, morning sprint race and then feature sprint race Sat afternoon immediately before the feature K&N race. PCA and NASA licensed racers may participate (providing your car and gear meet BMW CCA club racing requirements) but you need to contact BMW CCA Club Racing to get a license. Cost: $500, including 6 crew tickets and 2 paddock parking passes. Register here: http://msreg.com/NJTboltCR2016
Car Corral: If you are a BMW CCA member, we have a dedicated car corral and discounted VIP ticket pricing. Cost: $20, a $25 discount. Register here: http://msreg.com/TboltCorral2016
You must register in advance to participate (so we and NJMP have time to issue tickets/credentials). We know AER has a race that weekend and PCA and NASA have events the following weekend but this will be special event with club drivers sharing track time with a professional series at a spectator event. I hope some of you can make it.

The Spec Boxter guys have asked a few questions so let me copy here, what answers we gave them.
1. We will not require you to put on Club Racing sponsor stickers on your car just for a single event. It would be nice if you put a Tire Rack banner somewhere on your windshield but not required.
2. If you registered for the DE and now want to race, go cancel your DE registration and then use the race registration in the link in the first post. You won't be charged a cancellation fee for the DE because I haven't charged anyone's card yet.
3. When you register for the race, choose the Guest Racer radio button on the registration form. You non-BMW folks should just enter Other as your Class. Include vehicle # and transponder info if you can.
Just so there are no misunderstandings, the following requirements are also listed on the registration requirements:
If you are registering as a Guest Racer, we can give you a temporary, complimentary license for the weekend if the following conditions are met:
1. You must be a current member of the BMW Car Club of America (this is an IRS compliance matter). If you are not a member, you can join here: www.bmwcca.org. We will provide a $50 rebate to your registration fee once you send us confirmation of membership (no net cost to you).
2. You must possess and present a valid and current Competition license from another approved sanctioned racing organization, e.g. PCA, NASA, SCCA. (A license with LeMons or ChumpCar does not qualify!)You cannot be on probation or suspension nor have a Rookie or Provisional license elsewhere.
3. You must fill out the Onsite CR Race Application, the Confidential Driver Medical and the appropriate Tech forms. (We will have the forms or you can find them on the club racing website)
4. You must present a current logbook and a current annual inspection from your racing organization.
5. You must meet all BMW CCA Club Racing minimum standards for vehicle and personal safety.Please note that this includes, but is not limited to:
Harnesses and HANS tethers must have current dates
Window net must be current
Center net is required and must be current
6. You cannot be a former BMW CCA CR license holder.These racers must apply for a license renewal in advance of the race weekend.
7. The temporary complimentary license provision is good for one weekend only. If you want to race with BMW CCA CR in the future, you must apply for a license following the regular licensing procedures.
I hope you all can make it. This should be a ton of fun. Let me know if you have other questions or problems.
