I'm taking my baby to the track on August 5th. Going to try out the new Thunderbolt Raceway in Millville NJ so I ordered some static cling numbers and a few extras for the event.

That sounds like a winner Marc. Post up some details, Please. I can't get on that track (Vert without a cage), but I'd like to come down as a spectator.

I hope you are joining in the fun. We don't need no stinking spectators. Also, I don't think they allow spectators.

Good looking advertising for the lounge Marc

Have fun at the track - got a preview of it a few weeks ago and it's pretty cool.

Go to the PDA link I put in post #3, look at the track dates and click on register. You'll need an approved helmet and your car will have to be tech inspected prior to the event.

If anyone is planning to stay overnight, I'd recommend the Country Inn and Suites in Millville. We're supposed to be getting a group rate through PDA.
