East Coast Sevens NJMP event Info Request

[yellowss7]

We are now 90 days out from the 4th Annual East Coast Sevens Event at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Hopefully, you have cleared your schedules to attend July 3rd to july 6th, 2014, Mike and I are very much looking forward to seeing you all.

Online registration is expected to open in mid-May. To get a head start on the process we need your assistance. So we can send you an online registration hyperlink we need you to send an email to sevensarefun@gmail.com with the following information:

1) Your name and anticipated family/guest numbers attending.

2) Contact phone number

3) A driving resume for those planning to HPDE their seven – one or two days

As you will be participating in an NJMP-sanctioned event, they require a driving resume/history to make sure that you are eligible for participating in a passing run group. The summary should contain:

· Your name

· Track experience (HPDE, racing, time trials, hill climbs, etc.)

· Number of events participated over time

· Tracks you have run at

· Copies of racing licenses or past racing experience, if applicable.

This is not intended to be a multi-page life history but a short history to show that you have driven on track before and are qualified to be in a passing group. Once you have emailed them to sevensarefun@gmail.com, Tom and I will submit the resumes to NJMP in advance for review.

Please be sure to send your email to sevensarefun@gmail.com otherwise we will not be able to send you the appropriate online registration link and you will not be registered to participate.

Those of you with limited or no prior track day experience may be placed in the non-passing, GREEN run group which is a great way to ease into an on track experience. This group runs behind the pace car and allows you to learn the track and the speed is progressively increased throughout the day. Best bit is that you still get to join in all the social fun in the pits between driving sessions.

Given the proximity of Millville to the Jersey Shore and that we are having this event on a holiday weekend, you would be well advised to starting planning lodging accommodations. Below is a list of popular options:

· Trackside Suites at NJMP/NJMP Villas

We now have 12 drivers that have submitted their info, and we received 2 more responses from potential attendees who are not driving but possibly attending.

 

Still looking for the other 11 drivers to submit their info and 4 other non driving spectators to just confirm they are coming. Tom:party:

I now see the instructions with the request for pre registration info going to sevensarefun. I''m planning to attend and I will hand that one shortly.

 

Where can I find details on the exact dates, daily schedule, run groups, sanctioning organization, cost, etc.?

 

My interest is in running with the experienced group with little or no passing restriction(s). Are race tires permitted in one or more of the groups?

 

Thx

Mario, most people will arrive late afternoon on Thursday July 3rd, we will have a BBQ dinner that evening. Friday, July4th, Breakfast starts at 7am with Tech opening then as well. Drivers meeting begins at 8am. Track goes hot at 9am. I don't have details on our run group timing at this time. Lunch is usually scheduled around noon, and is included in the fee. Saturday July 5th's schedule will duplicate Friday's. Sunday July 6th we will host a Karting event in the morning for those that wish to participate. So depending on your schedule availability, those are your options. Cost of the track days has not been released as of yet by the track but Last year's guest fees were $195 per day for drivers and $25 a day for non driving guests, both include a buffet breakfast and lunch and liquid refreshments during the day.

 

NJMP Drivers club is the event organizer. They have granted us our own Run Group for 7's only. Race tires permitted for Caterhams only. :smilielol5: You stalker boys can either run with 4 plug wires disconnected or run on 6 inch wide bias belted tires your choice. :smilielol5::jester:

Passing is on the straights only with a mandatory point by. This is NOT a race. Tom

Hey, Tom,

 

 

Fixed that for ya'. :smilielol5: . . . . . Sorry, just couldn't resist. I think hanging out with you guys for a few days is gonna be a real hoot. :cheers:

Just sent a PM to Mario adding to what Tom sent above.

Very good. Between emails, texts and talking with him this morning, he should be in the loop. :cheers:

[Kitcat]

xcarguy: Remember there are more Caterhams than Stalkers at this. So once we Caterham guys decide who of us will be in charge of blocking the Stalkers at any given time (on a rotating basis of course), I think you will find we are very competitive:).

Oh, I know. I'm severely out gunned and out manned. On top of that, I'm the 'dog' under the underdog and will be operating mission-critical in a foreign land. That's why I've got to be sure and get in all the sneaky, underhanded, redneck, cheap, southern sarcasm that I can before I get my a$$ handed to me in July. :smilielol5::smilielol5: . . . . . :cheers:

[yellowss7]

Shane, you best watch out for Kitcat and don't let him get behind you. His nickname from our first outing was the "Blue Enema" :driving: He'll run right up your rear. :smilielol5:
