Default Raceway Park This Weekend

Can someone clarify?

Sat there is an SCCA event at raceway park in englishtown but is this a parking lot course or on the actual road course?

On Sun is the novice school to get a road course license? Is this necessary to run your car on the road course? Is this license recognized by other tracks/organizations?
If I get this license how often can I run my car on the course?
Has anyone taken the class?

they usually set the course up to use about 1/2-2/3's.
I've done that course twice now with NNJR and i think its been in the 70-80s range.

Here is an example of what the course would look like.

There are so many configurations of the course that there is no "full" course, ever.

They do not run autox on the banking as it is too close to the wall.

Thanks! That looks like fun- I'll be there. I can rent a helmet, right? If anyone has an extra helmet they want to get rid of.........
