TrackDaze @ NJMP 6/30-7/1

[oneday]

I just did my first event with TrackDaze.com down at Summit Shenandoah last weekend and was impressed with how relaxed and well run the event was. They offer students a lot of seat time and a lot of classroom time--more than any other HPDE I've been to. All the participants were very cool.

alwaysinboost and I will be instructing with them when they are at Thunderbolt on June 30 & July 1. $380 for two days or $235 for one day. Each day gets you four 30 minute track sessions. I'm sure there will be a few other TST members getting schooled. This would be a great way to get some experience on track before heading to Pocono in July!

Over the last few years I've heard many positive reports about the quality of TrackDaze track days. June 30 is too far off so I'm not sure I can make it...but I'll be on Thunderbolt this Tuesday and I was there on April 15 so I'm getting to know and love this track.

I'm going to try to make it to this event. Thunderbolt looks like a fun track.

[McVicker]

The track is definitely fun. me and Jhnrx7 will probably be attending this event.

the trackdaze group is really good. I was at shenandoah with them, f'ing blast.

[neo277]

Just registered for Friday the 1st. my 1st hpde event. then pocono in July : )

Cant wait.

Awesome. See you there...I can only do Friday now but am looking forward to it--haven't been on Thunderbolt since last spring!

Might not be any db limit at all...I don't see anything on the event details about it. If you can drive your car on the street you will be fine.

thanks, its street driven but i have an external wastegate with dumptube. i should be ok.

are you instructing?

also i was thinking of bringing along 5-10gal of extra petrol, do they have an issue with filling up your own fuel at the track?

i wish i could do both days but i wanted to do the Pocono hpde so im saving up for that.

[Nick 95 6sp]

Other than the "danger" of carrying fuel in your car, there's no problem. I've done it in the past. But they do have pumps at the track, both unleaded and 110 oct leaded racegas.

As far as open wg dump, based on some loud cars I've heard there you can't possibly have a noise issue.

You can bring your own fuel as long as it is stored in a proper fuel safe container. You can fill your car from personal containers with no issues, but if you want them to fill the containers from the pumps at the track then the jugs MUST be red and labeled as "For Gas Only" (or something to that affect). You can also have them pump gas for you into your car. NJMP has Sunoco 93, 100 and 110 on pumps...the 93 is $4.2X a gallon (I think...I put $35 in Saturday and it was more than 8 gallons).

[neo277]

@ oneday. Thanks for the info. I have proper fuel storage tanks, Ill save some cash by bringing some shell 93 near me.

@ Nick 95 6sp. Thanks, are you gonna be running your supra?

Nick, I think I met you at that fabspeed track day at NJMP earlier this year.


Both Jhnrx7 and myself signed up for this event +2 Rx-7s

Last time I was at the track it was $4.99 a gallon for 93.

[Nick 95 6sp]

Hi Dan...sure, I remember you and Jhnrx7 ...both very nice FD's! Are you guys registering for advanced group? That's what I have in mind.

I'm hoping and optimistic I'll be ready to register for this very soon. I have the day available but I need to take care of a small coolant leak on my front turbo. If it's as simple as it seems that should be a quick fix and I'll be good to go. But I hate to pay and register and then find out it's something more involved and I miss the day I paid for.

[Nick 95 6sp]

Well be their early. Have to Leave pa by 4am.

Do you drive your car to the track or trailer it?

[McVicker]

Nick....I signed up for intermediate solo I believe. You met my other friend Rich, Jhnrx7 is another Rx-7 friend of mine haha. Hopefully they'll let me move up to advanced if needed. See ya there!

-Dan

[Nick 95 6sp]

sorry, Dan...I'm pretty bad with names until they sink into my thick head...but looking forward to seeing you there, Bob j/k bud...I figure the advanced group might be a better chance of being a more open track and I've been on this track a few times and know it decently well, and if any of the really fast guys come up on me I know how to stay out of their way.

z, yes I drive it to the track, always have for the last 10 years...it's a street car. From my house just west of City Line Ave to the track is one hour ....so I usually leave home about 6am. For you from Lehigh Valley is quite a bit longer trek. Good luck and hope to see you there.
