The Devil in the Dark - Round 2

The Jersey Racing Board (Northern New Jersey and South Jersey Regions) and New Jersey Motorsports Park announce the second running of The Devil in the Dark 12 Hour endurance race on NJMP's Thunderbolt Circuit. The 2011 edition will be held on Saturday, 30 April 2011 and will again run from noon to midnight. Plans are underway to hold a family friendly spectator event at the track during the race with live entertainment, food and beverages.

This race is a follow-up to the successful inaugural event run last June. The format and rules will be very similar to the first running with a few minor changes based on last year's experience. If you missed The Devil this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for next year.

The entry package will be posted on the DLB online registration system after the first of the year. Registration will open on 1 February 2011.

I know it's probably too late for this year, But it would be really cool if this was part of the PROIT series. Modeling the Rolex and ALMS Series. Co drivers to share the points for this event and then go on for the rest of the season and collect their own points. Just an idea to give the event a little more excitement and kick off the TEAMDI PROIT series In a big way that the new jersey region works so hard on!

I really want to go and its on my calendar, just not sure if I will have a car ready by then.

If anyone is looking for a seat in our enduro-spec Golf (3-hour tankage, anyone?) drop me a note. We'd love to get up there with Pablo.

It would be good if you could post the information about your Glow Boards on the event web site ( www.TheDevilintheDark.com ) to that all of our competitors can be aware of your product.

Let me know what tire sizes your using to give me a better idea of what to bring. Of course I'll have Miata tires with me but what other sizes are you running? I have Toyo, Hankook, and BFG and other brands available if I have advanced notice.

Any chance anyone is coming to NJMP from the Boston area? I need to transport some rally lights to a buyer there.

Good Luck to all those that are attending! A few questions for ya all...

Any live feeds on the internet this year?
Anyone know where to get te glow in the dark vinyl that you see at this event?

Thanks,

I'm glad everyone had a safe race this weekend.

One of the teams had 8 shaved tires mounted on Friday and were coming back for 4 rain tires. They didn't come back and settle their invoice. If you know who you are please call me as soon as possible with payment.
