Are the younger drivers welcome to come as well? I am 90% sure I can participate.


I want to get another event started in May that is in Central Jersey. Being in Flemington, most of the events are an hour+ drive for me to just get to the beginning . Lots of good areas to drive in.

I've got a run put together that I think everyone will enjoy!!!

Bring your radios and cameras.

... and if anyone else wants as big of a dork as I am, I put this in the MINI-link for your smart phone.

Hey guys, take a look at this 2 mile bit of road. a small elevation change, and the best 6 curves in a row in the area.

headed east/north, you drop into the series with left the smooth right then left. then still dropping elevation, a nice right sweeper. in to a bit of a straight. then a very sharp left, the just as sharp right (a bit of a bump on to bridge to mess with your weight and traction transitions) then a fast left and right. the slow down for straight into res and school area.

going back the other way, the left as you come off bridge is wonderful- throttle steer to keep traction as you come out. then the left right left up the hill can be quite quick with plenty of traction.

Anyone have a good suggestion for the radio? I have an old one that needs updating.


Edit: Scratch that...I spent the last hour or so reading up on ones, I think I found a decent one.

I'm sure some of us have an extra one or you can pick up a decent pair of Motorolla on Amazon for like $30
