Online registration is now open at on the DLB site - Select South Jersey Region as the Club to see the event calender.
Thank you to the South Jersey region for putting on a great event! I did not quite get to enjoy all of it, as the race was a real introduction for me to the "prod car" life. Everyone was very nice and very helpful when my wife had her accident and gashed her knee open. My only wish is that the track was nearer a hospital other than the South Jersey one. I was paddocked with the other MARRS prod racers, and everyone was helpful in getting the car apart and together again, and helping me source parts to get the car back and running, At many points I was ready to pack up and go home, but they provided encouragement and I am glad they did. A car that actually handles and sticks is like crack made of steel.
ps. If you are ever at NJMP in a LBC and break something that can be replaced with a stock item, British Racing Green is about an hour and half away, not counting traffic, in Newark, DE. They are open until noon on Saturday. The guy was very helpful, even though I called him just as the shop was closing.
