We should!!! I'll have to get a little better first though so I'm not totally embarrassed lol.

Next year We should have a day at lime rock/ the glen /NJMSP and get as many folks together as possible.

What a great day out on the track!!! Rain in the morning and a bit of sun coming through in the afternoon. The first of four sessions was in the rain and the wet line was very humbling!!. Second session was on a drying track and the third and fourth were dry and very fast. Traffic was a bit of a problem in the intermediate 1 run group but all in all it was a phenomenal day. I ran around 10 laps in the 1:07 range most a which were 1:07.4-1:07.7 my best was a 1:07.1 (Videos up soon on my Youtube page) Next step is to get rid of the stock tire sizes (225F 255R) and get a set of track wheels and tires and hopefully a square setup. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

hmmmmmm Very interested... Although that's a 250+ mile drive for me to get there and it requires me to take a day off of work. Cost looks awesome though. This is a track I haven't been to so it definitely interests me.

yea, VIR was an 8+ hr drive for me but well worth it. and fwiw, the hotels nearby are really affordable too. fairfield inn (#1 on tripadvisor for that area) has a special rate going on for nj cca "members". just call them and say you're a member and they'll honor $79/nt. and when you're done, drive 45 mins and hit up the casinos at AC =)
