EvilRome0 (Roman) in his quick WCM Ultralight. For his first time on track, Roman impressed the heck out of all of us as he very quickly got up to speed. (after 5 to 8 spins that is) :willy_nilly:

Sebastien's brand spanking new, beautiful R400. He and It were very quick. And his Lovely wife Kelli did a great job supporting him as his pit crew.

Another shot of Croc's stable ponies, His CSR with the new 13 inch BBS wheels, and in the background, his 65 Racing Mustang GT. The Swing set on the orange S1 belongs to S1Steve. He is a tall, But not THAT tall. Must be the :conehead:. :rofl:

And something I posted on the other thread and copied over so that it is all in one wrap up thread:

 

I just made it home and are pretty exhausted. An indication of how busy things were to organize I took no video or photos during the event. So I am relying on everyone else.

 

Despite the damp start on Friday it cleared up and by the early afternoon I was trying out the new swimming pool at turn 7 in the maroon Caterham. The really funny element of that (only) sideways excursion was that I had the NJMP track photographer out with me as a passenger. Finally there are compromising photos of the track photographer while out on track!

 

For Saturday I ran both the maroon SV and the CSR and was using some other instructors to try and give non-drivers passenger rides to experience a seven on track. I did not run the CSR in the rain - no point as I would have had no traction. However, I did try out its new 13 inch light wheel conversion (from heavy Caterham 15 inch wheels) and a new cold air intake on Saturday and it made the car a LOT quicker to accelerate. Rolling diameter is only 2% smaller than the original stock wheel/tires so the old add lighter unsprung weight continues to hold true. I had Jack (JvBtte) out with me as a passenger and he said the same thing. I also took out the second track photographer in the CSR and I guess it scared him as we did have to pry his hands off the side of the car and the chassis rail on the transmission tunnel.

 

The event went off really well. The evenings were very social and all had a good time. A highlight was the outside BBQ at the track founder's home on the Maurice River. Just a gorgeous evening, wonderful setting, amazing food and lots of great company and conversation.

 

The NJMP track management loved having us and it created a lot of interest by the Drivers Club members to check out our cars. They want us back in 2015 and have agreed we need to work out the calendar in Nov/Dec to make sure we run both tracks at NJMP. The HPDE sessions ran exceptionally smoothly - no one was slow. The track never felt crowded - there were cars I never saw on track in the 2 days yet they were out there. There were no trains and no one was really held up by slower traffic. The concept of having a sevens only session for a track day really does work well. We had 17 cars on Friday and 21 cars on Saturday.

 

I really want to thank everyone for coming along. It was great to meet you all in person and enjoy the experience together.
