    Coming out of the "Light Bulb" (??) on to the main straight, there seems to be a kink in the track where the natural line takes you back across the track, like Lime Rock's back straight. I see potential problems with a faster car trying to stick their nose in trying to make the pass to the inside and having the slower car not see it coming.

    Were there any problems with this at any of the other events?

    There is no good time. Beach and getaway traffic on Friday is godawful. It actually starts on Thursday in the summer(this coming from a person who commutes daily from LI to central NJ). Probably a better bet to get up at o'dark thirty on Saturday morning and head on down. Sunday night coming home will be no better - the Turnpuke will be bad up to exit 6 (the Pennsy 'Pike) and spectacularly bad beyond there.

    Hint: grab a map and look for Route 130, which parallels the NJ Turnpuke for most of the length of the trip from Route 52 up to around exit 8A. Although it is a local road with lights and whathaveyou, it does tend to work better than the turnpike on a Sunday night.

    Hey, Rob, sinc eI'm coming from CT I'm going to be using I-287. Is there a better route from there than 287 all the way to the Pike? Maybe I should grab 130 from 287 and try that...

    GA, leaving in 3-ish hours with a 28' foot trailer, and dreading the rest of my day...
