bball7754 Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 That’s the weekend before the VSCDA race weekend at Road America. May not be an issue if the Mallock is not running by then….which unfortunately there is a high probability of based on it’s history. Or, I may do both. I’m a definite maybe. Steve
yellowss7 Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Shaping up to be another fun event. Hopefully we will see a few of the recent VA owners make the trip up. It is really a fun event with lots of sevens on track together and the dinners are just as fun. And hopefully we will get to see the ultimate Caterham make its debut appearance. CATKONG!!! 2
Vovchandr Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 Is there something else going on that day or am I late to the party? Everything seems booked. VIP and villas... One is available as full villa rental at 650 a night but I can't swing that...

I'd really prefer to lodge on site due to family needs and if I can't stay on site, then the trip might not be in the cards this year. For anybody who doesn't have accommodations, reach out and once I have two people interested we can book and secure it. First come first serve. $650 a night split 3 ways for 2 nights = $433 total + tax. It's 1 bedroom in upper villa, 2 in the lower. Seems to be the only option left to lodge on premises.

Yes the Thunderbolt Circuit is hosting FuelFest FuelFest - NEW JERSEY You would not want to stay over there anyway even if it was available as it will be a madhouse. There is something else booked on the Sunday. Offsite will be the sensible option.

With the family in tow my options are either stay on track or not go at all as Millville is too far away to make it useful as point of operations for when little one has needs. When you say madhouse... What should be expected? The pits will be crazy or Villas will somehow be affected too?

You will have access controls on the bridge leading to the paddock. Do you just want to get accommodation offsite in Millville or Vineland and borrow my garage loft for the day? I will be over at the Lightning circuit. Air con will be on. TV and wifi will be working. There is a bathroom. Only catch is the stairs but no worse than the villas.

If I can't find a 3rd within a week or so I'll start to secure alternate plans through Millville or similar.
yellowss7 Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 We are now just 8 weeks away from our Sevens Gathering at NJMP. Hopefully everyone has made lodging reservations. And have the parts necessary to get their cars ready. I know one of our members needs a new Caterham six speed if anyone has a spare one lying around. This is a great opportunity to get your Seven on track with just Sevens, so no dodging 3300 pound vettes and porkers. It’s also a good opportunity if you are thinking about a Seven, to try on one or two to see how you fit. The social hours in the paddock and by the pool are fun too. So get your cars ready. See you soon. Tom
FE07 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Hate to miss this year but coming back from Ireland/Scotland on 9/10. So..... guess I'll see everybody next year. Going to try to get to the the Jim Clark museum while in Scotland! Enjoy and keep em all on the black stuff. Jim
wemtd Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Tom What are this year’s track/tech quirks? Harness in date & arm restraints of course. Should we look out for Brake pad measurements? Tire dates? Hans?
yellowss7 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Paul, tires should be less than 7 years old, obviously brake pads should be in good Nick , they do look but I don’t remember anyone pulling out a set of calipers to measure them. Helmets 2015 or newer. Hans dates are not checked as far as I know. They do check the dates on the harnesses so they must be current. They look for leaks, they look tires over and do have a check list that they follow and they will check that your brake lights work. Nothing that you shouldn’t have checked yourselves before going out on track.
yellowss7 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Jim we will miss you. Enjoy your trip. Hopefully you will have lots of free time with your retirement. Tom
wemtd Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Are they requiring Hans? For slow drivers like me? I recall last year conflicting tech forms indicating Hans was required or recommended/optional.
yellowss7 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 I don’t recall Hans devices being required but watch this video and decide if it’s a good investment.
Vovchandr Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Villa 201 secured Now time to see if my car is functional...

I may bring a tent and earplugs and sleep in the tow rig. I'll probably bring a stove and some food in a cooler and do a small breakfast for myself. NJMP is a great track and very curious to see how a 7 handles it. I just have to replace my A arm once I pick the car up from having the head work done, so should be on track.
Croc Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 Update 7/30/2023 It looks like NJMP has changed the dates to Sunday September 10 and Monday September 11 to avoid the conflict with FuelFest on the Saturday. We have had no official confirmation of this other than via Motorsportreg.com dashboard. We will find out from NJMP what is going on and update you accordingly.
