First time at track
Just to circle back, I had my first experience at the strip today. It was quite the experience. Not the best times but the best I ran was a 13.2 and missed 4th gear so could've done better. My other 2 runs I spun too much and got 13.4s

Now you need to get out to New Jersey Motorsports Park for some HPDE. It's only 50 miles away from you.
Several outfits like Hooked On Driving, Track Club USA, NASA, TrackDaze, etc. run there.

That's in Millville right? My brother and I plan to do it in May. I am really looking forward to that. The racing is a new thing for me but I really enjoyed it. I will be looking for more local events to attend.
