Default Tracks in the North East....

I have checked out SCDA and PDA's schedule and was wondering if any of you guys know of any other groups that will be running at the following tracks..

Limerock
Pocono
Watkins Glen
Thunderbolt/lightining
What's the deal with the road course at Englishtown?

Thanks.

Hi Bill,

TrackMasters run at WGI. They are a bunch of good and fast guys; but run mostly in the middle of the week. I think you would like them.

You can see all events scheduled for Thunderbolt/Lightning at www.njmotorsportspark.com. There are several HPDEs scheduled.

COM Sports Car Club (www.comscc.org) runs one event @ WGI. They also run here @ NHIS (3 events). Come on up and visit us here in NH! The July & Oct events should be great. The White Mountains are 1 hour N and some great beaches are 1 hour East.

That's Phoenix CMR ... run in June and Aug.
Here's a Trackpedia link ... can drill down to track and get a list of event promoters:

Two others that I know of -

1) Hooked on Driving - They have been primarily on the West Coast, but running a full schedule of events in the NE this year. I just signed up for June 19th Pocono Long Course with them (http://www.hookedondriving.com/morei...Product_ID=184). PM me if you want to register with them, we will both get $40 off if you sign up as a referral from me.

2) New York Motor Club - A great group of guys out of Harrison that do street runs/cruises, track days, and carting. I ran Pocono East with them last year - awesome cars show up, small group so tons of track time during the day. They had the PDA crew manage the event for them. They will be running several events this year at the Glen, Pocono, and Thunderbolt. Just announced their first date this summer at Thunderbolt, August 20th. They are a membership club but open some slots to non-members for club events. (www.newyorkmotorclub.com) Again, you can PM me for details.

From whom are you getting the Stoptechs? I had mine put in late last summer, I'm very happy with them and highly recommend Dave at Zeckhausen racing.

They are exclusively at WGI. Believe me, both the group and the track are worth the trip.

The Connecticut Autocross & Rally Team, Inc. (C.A.R.T.) will be running an HPDE at Lime Rock on 6/5 and an HPDE and time trial at Pocono's north course on 5/9 and 8/29, on Pocono's south course on 7/21 and on Pocono's east course on 9/29. For more info and to sign up you can go to www.cartct.com

CART limits the number of entrants to 50 cars at Pocono and 60 at LRP by doing so it makes sure that everyone gets plenty of open track time.

At WGI Phoenix CMR is a great group to run with. However, they do run on Mondays and Tuesdays. Joe runs 3 run groups with Group I Novices getting 4 25 minute sessions of track time and Group 2 and 3 getting 4 40 minute sessions. If you are interested you need to sign up soon as entrance forms have already been sent out to prior participants first event is 2 days in June and second event is 2 days in August.

The BMW clubs will be limiting participation to Octoberfest participants at their fall events as the Octoberfest driving events are going to held at Watkins Glen this year. They pretty much have most of the hotels in the area booked already.

WGI will spoil you it is a true world class road course.

Bill
