Croc Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Well...it’s been a very good day here at NJMP. Started off cold. But as the day has gone on it has warmed up. Brilliant sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky. We all survived the day quite well. Only one injury - me - when I face planted push starting Jim. These are some photos I took with my iPhone. Paige (Vlad’s better half) took many photos with her digital SLR but we have to wait for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 So first session was interesting: - three spins - 6 cars came in under black flags - some counseling sessions in the pits. Our guilty ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Now of course Seb was caught cleaning his car after the first session This was an instant award of the polisher award His only concern was the choice of color. He wanted it red to match the car. By the way, that is a handbrake... Edited October 18, 2020 by Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmustang Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 When in a spin, two feet in, just saying :seeya: Great pictures, wish I was there. Keep the pictures coming. Bill S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Great evening over dinner and way too many drinks. We stayed outside for safety with Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 It’s cold here tonight. Down in the 30s. Paul (Wemtd) is camping. I did offer my garage! It’s heated. Tom C and Ottalie are in an RV outside my garage. But they seem to have heating. Brutal tonight I have just discovered it is frog mating season. Bit noisy here.

Croc Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Awards given out last night at dinner since most will be leaving after the day today BC and not staying for dinner. Mechanical Sympathy Award - Jim for having a failed starter precisely at the time of first session starting. The Golden Skidmarks award for biggest on track oops went to Tom C for two spins into lots of mud during the first session The Most Stylish Use of Hands in a Moving Vehicle was to Graham for his elegant point bys. No photo for some reason Steve was the the worthy winner of the Best Directions in a Moving Vehicle - an award for good clean lines on track. The last award was the Lipstick Award. Something about “lipstick” (i.e. painted nose bands on a seven) was won by Vlad. Some else will have to explain it. But he did get a stick of lipstick and had it applied during dinner.

mrmustang Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Make sure to warm up those tires this AM, two laps won't be enough.....Found that out the hard way at LRP many years ago in similar temps....Took the 1st apex at Big Bend, didn't make the 2nd and slid cleanly off the track to sink into the muddy grass...... Have a fantastic time this today and stay safe. Bill S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Oh come on Bill. That would be sensible. Two had offs and came in for a counseling session - Seb and Vlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bball7754 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Mike - if you’re taking these on-track pics, are you not driving in those sessions? Wish I was there. Plan to be back next year. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
