yellowss7 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I hate to say it, but I think Vlad jinxed us by finally fixing his car. 😜 We will try to get next year’s date out as early as we can, once we get next year’s schedule, so you can all try to block it on your calendars. So those of you with mechanical issues or new builds or cars on order will have no excuse. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBuff Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Sunday looks salvageable. But since I am in a tin top I will stay quiet. Finger crossed it can still come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Lodging policy is that it's final within a week of the event unless they can rebook it. Does the track cancellation overrule that or are we on the hook for lodging? Edit: Still hoping this whole thing happens but double checking worst case scenario plans.

FE07 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I’ve been waiting to register and keeping an eye on the weather like everyone else. Given I need to rent a truck to bring up my trailer and need to cancel that as well as a reservation I made at Fairfield inn, I’m afraid I’m going to cancel. I was happy when it got rescheduled since we were out of town when it was originally scheduled. Oh well. Hope to see everyone next year! Added some pics of the Jim Clark Museum I went to while in Scotland. Small but worth the trip. About an hour southeast of Edinburgh. Gotta go if your a Lotus fan.

You would need to ring and explain. It might hinge on whether you registered for the event or not on motorsportreg.com? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have time to register before they cancel it if that would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross fingers for the weather for y’all this weekend. Looks like somebody was jumping on the seat at some point. For a mostly hidden repair, I'd drill a hole on each end an inch past the visible ends of the crack, then tig from drilled hole to drilled hole. If it cracks again, consider adding another layer/doubler of .050" on the inside, bottom leg one inch wide and the upper two inches, perforated with holes (floor not drilled, just the doubler), then plug weld the holes.

yellowss7 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Ok CROC just heard from NJMP. They are going to do the Sunday track day. So Saturday is no but Sunday is a go for those that want to do it. Croc and I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemtd Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I’ve already taken the weekend off work. So why not, I’m still in & need my yearly dose of Lightning. 🏎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Sorry I was on the road. Croc is heading home fro his SPA trip. Looks like Sunday is a go. Arrival on Saturday for those who want to come in. Drop trailers at Lightning paddock and head over to Croc’s garage to hang out for a bit. We hopefully can have dinner at the clubhouse if it’s open or if not head into Millville. Usual format. Breakfast at 7 am Sunday in the Clubhouse. Tech from 7:30 to 8:30 in the paddock. Drivers meeting at 8:30am track live at 9am for those coming please post here just to give us a rough count. too bad it wasn’t yesterday and today. Weather is perfect.

yellowss7 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Guys, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but NJMP just informed Croc that they are officially cancelling BOTH Saturday AND Sunday now. So officially the event is off. Croc just landed and besides being jet lagged, he’s very disappointed as am I. We will look to see if there are any possible other dates this year, but as the weather will be cooling off more and more, it’s most likely we will be looking at next year to try again.

CBuff Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Just got the email from joe Good afternoon, Drivers Club Members! Unfortunately, the Drivers Club Member Day Track Events scheduled for this Saturday, October 14th and Sunday, October 15th on Lightning have been CANCELLED due to insufficient registrations, likely the result of the inclement weather forecast. Registrations for October 14th and October 15th will be cancelled and refunded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Most unfortunate. Any chance we can have spring and fall event next year if the numbers support it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Bummer. I was looking forward to getting at least a few laps in on Sunday. Time for a spirited local drive in this beautiful 72 degree weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very disappointed but understand the tracks position. I was really looking forward to coming. I want to Thank Croc and Yellowss7 for all the effort to make this one and all the previous ones happen.
