Take your car on track at NJMP

[yellowss7]

Guys, I just got this email from NJMP offering a number of different option to get out on the track. Looks like it could be a good opportunity for some to get a feel for the tracks.

 

 

 

 



The #1 question we get at NJMP from motorsports enthusiasts is how to drive their street cars, race cars, street bikes and just about anything with wheels on one of our two world-class road courses: our signature Thunderbolt Raceway featuring 2.25-miles of asphalt, 14 challenging turns and a one half mile straightway or Lightning Raceway, 1.9-mile with 10 corner circuit which is fast, challenging and features some of the most interesting and dramatic corners and elevation changes in the Park.

We totally understand your desire to get on track and want to help! From car club and driving organizations to racing schools and series - and even the exclusive and private NJMP Drivers Club - you have choices in how to drive, lap or race at New Jersey Motorsports Park!

So... how fast DO you want to go!

 

Fast as a turtle? Quick as a snail?

After seeing huge success at motorsports parks throughout the country, New Jersey Motorsports Park is excited to now offer Motor(less) laps. For two days each month, NJMP will open the track at 6:30 p.m. for two hours to bicyclists, skateboarders, rollerblading, runners and parents with strollers to challenge themselves on one of our world-class road courses. 2012 Dates:
