5th Gen Track Day?

Its time we plan a track day in Jersey for the 5th gens. Either English Town, Island Dragway or ATCO.

We can all meet up for a test and tune on a Saturday or better yet rent out the track for a day and bring the families and bbq. If we have enough people its will probably be cheap to rent a track.

Per NHRA guidelines (which apply to all three tracks) any car running a 13.99 et or quicker the driver must wear a Snell 2000 or better approved helmet. I don't know if the tracks rent them so if you wanna drag buy a helmet. Hate to see you drive to jersey for nothing.

Anyone interested post a reply and we will see how many we can get. I'd love to do later this month.

I was just at Englishtown on Friday Night... They do rent helmets but not Snell 2000 rated or better so you need to bring your own or you can by them for $125.00 (Which is what I did) right at the track. A very nice helmet for the price...

It was my first time out so my best time was only a 13.9... and the was without the
Competition
Mode I forgot the car had....

I'm in!

Track rentals can expensive. e-town is $3000.00 for 1 lane up to 20 street muffled cars & $125.00 each for starter, computer operator, & time slip. Atco is 1 to 10 cars $2000 10to 15 cars $3000.00 plus the price to prep the track. If we did a track rental it would be better in the fall to hot in the summer.

e-town may able to accommodate a day at the races most likely on a saturday. where they would give us a staging lane and a certain amount of runs. contact Paul Bailey@ 732-446-7800 or e-mail etowntech@yahoo.com
might be difficult to contact e-town this week because of the Summer Nationals.

If you run an SS you need to buy a helmet.

Be careful at Island. I got the boot there in march for going 10.90's. They don't mess around.

I'd be down for a track rental. It's so much better than a t & t.

10:50 or better you need a 6 point roll bar, not a full cage. A full cage comes in below 9 or so but if you get a rental at any of those tracks I would be in. I was at Island and a guy with a corvette did sub 10"50's several times before they kicked him out, I guess it all depends.
