Any updates from todays race we left this morning due to a blown tranny on the first lap:mad:. The only good thing about it was I had the best seat in the house with the corner workers.

my son found a watch at the event. pm me with the manufacture, model and address and i will send it.
the pro it was a great event. hard racing 40 minutes long and a blast. we fought tooth and nail through the entire races. it was a pleasure runniNg with the b boys.
the only scarry parts were when you would encounter a dust cloud and you had no idea if there was somebody there! PLEASE FIX IF POSSIBLE. i would ask the faster cars, if possible, try to pass us slower cars in a straight line or exiting a corner, not out braking us into a corner. i actually think you would loose less time giving up a little on entry but gain more on exit.
thanks for all that put the pro it on. it was a blast.

one double yellow for debri?
the late flag on the start was a mess and the surprise green after the yellow was also a mess. i guess i have to pay better attention.

Who the EFF drives across the GW Bridge from southern Jersey to NH??? I-287 to I-87 to I-84 to I-90, dude...

[RSTPerformance]

You have to love the IPhone... It wont give you alternate directions but The Pro IT - ITB Champ was craving Pizza Hut so I plugged it into google maps and was able to call ahead and order pizza to go!!! Now if we could just teach the dogs how to pee in a cup.... Yeah I am bored!!!!

Hi everyone, Steve from TeamDI here.

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed the event, we're working hard to give the best racing possible, the best race for the buck, and the best cash and prizes available!

Sorry to hear about the traffic, thats the one major downside about NJMP...it's in NJ, HA!

Thanks again for the compliments, and get ready for 2009...it's going to be even better! More sponsors, more prizes, more exposure, and hopefully we can start generating some fans to come watch too!

I'm going to get the new website populated with content from this weekend, and try to have it live by next weekend, so stay tuned, you're going to love it!

That was a fun weekend. 5 races for $300 + $290. I'll work up the event checks and year end checks. Get me your W9s if you have not already.

As for NJMP, that is the Pine Barrens, the soil is sand and dirt, mostly sand. It is like a powder. I agree on the dust clouds, the track management is aware of that and it just takes time to grow grass. We will also suggest extending the curbs and possibly paving more runoff areas.

As far as the route home - I live in northern Morris County in northern New Jersey. From the track to get home I do the following to miss the Parkway and Turnpike.

55N to 42 then onto to 295N (that mess by Camden). Take 295 north. Go past Trenton and 295N turns into 95 South, I take exit 4 for Rt 31 north (Pennington). This is the only 2 lane part of the route, a few lights but traffic moves well. From 31 north I get on 202 north at Flemington. Take that to Somerville to 287 north. 287 north will take you to the NYS thruway. From there you can take the Tappan Zee (87) or up to Newburgh/Beacon (84). No tolls in NJ and there are plenty of resturants and gas.

Thanks again to Bob Z. for getting behind this Pro-IT idea we borrowed from Atlanta. We knew this was a great way to get more track time and exciting racing.

2009 will be even better. As always what can we do better, this is our club, we can make it what ever we want!

Thanks,

OK - here's some random paddock video and the in-car video from Saturday's race. Camera ran out of space halfway through but this gives a good view of the action.

Thanks those sponsors and crew:

I'll take it for a $5K car. The fun factor is off the charts.
