New Jersey Autocross - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

All Star · 07-09-2012, 06:16 AM

I've mentioned this in a few other topics, I want to get into the sport. I've never done it before, and there seems to be an event held almost every weekend somewhere in New Jersey. I'm wondering if we can get a nice group of Camaros out there to have some fun one day. Right now, I'm looking at July 28th at the Meadowlands, but that is subject to change depending on baseball for me, here is the schedule:

Any interest at all?

All Star · 07-19-2012, 03:25 PM

Well, by myself or not...I'm registered for the 28th at the Meadowlands. Now to find a helmet. I'm the only Camaro on the list so far.

A helmet, regular license, and $60 entrance fee (for non-members) is all you need. You are in better shape than I am if you have a helmet.

This is the event I am going to, just click on the box that says "Register.":

Here is some good material for noobs:

This is all new for me too, I'll probably finish dead last.

ok i'm definitely interested, i'd really like to go. are you going to the fest?
we should meet up. i'm going to check out those links thanks

All Star · 07-19-2012, 09:38 PM

Unless I can convince my parents I would be fine going by myself, it looks like I might have to pass on the fest. It can possibly change in two weeks though, it's not hard to find a hotel room.

As far as autocrossing goes, let me know...if I like it (why wouldn't I enjoy it?), I'll probably be hitting up a few events before the summer ends.

IDEALG · 07-20-2012, 06:59 AM

sounds good

All Star · 07-20-2012, 04:16 PM

Yup....I may end up going to the PCA one on Sunday instead (same time and place).

I ended up having off on Sunday, so I registered for both just in case I have a baseball game during the day Saturday (slim chance, but you never know...it's a game three, with a game time of TBD).

All Star · 07-24-2012, 07:09 PM

Well, I'm planning on going Sunday...I want to spend Saturday breaking out the clay bar for the first time this summer.

Anyone else interested? It's going to be lonely by myself.

This sounds like fun. I am interested in this after doing it with the SRT8 track day. Its a blast.

Do it! I signed up for another session on August 4th, in addition to July 29th. Both are at the Meadowlands.

There is supposed to be someone with another Camaro at the event on the 4th.

(Yes, this means I finally killed my idea of going to the fest.)

My parents really aren't thrilled with the idea, and I'm not sure I want to spend all the money to go by myself. I don't get paid vacation days at this point of my life either, so I would be paying for it twice too, unfortunately.
