Looking forward to seeing everyone again, the weather is promising this weekend and NJMP is excited to have us back.
Some quick reminders for those attending this weekend (from NJMP):
- In order to increase the safety of all event participants, and to allow emergency services safe passage through our paddock, NJMP will be monitoring a 5’ asphalt encroachment rule (from the asphalt/dirt edge) in the Thunderbolt and Lightning paddock lanes. This will apply to trailers, pop-up tents, parked cars, motorcycles or other pit equipment. Your cooperation in this matter will serve to assist our safety efforts. CLARIFICATION: This means that you can set up from the edge of the asphalt out to 5 feet - I did see someone with a tape measure this weekend who did stop to measure a few pit set-ups. Basically your 10 ft canopy will be half in the grassy (dirt) area with the other half on the asphalt.
- In order to provide a secure facility, the main gate will be closed to arrivals between the hours of 10PM and 6AM, unless the arriving guest has a VIP Suite / Villa key, reservations for a VIP Suite or Villa, or is re-entering with a valid camping permit.
- The use of personal paddock vehicles will be monitored for compliance to safety and speed limits. Please be sure to register your personal paddock vehicles at the front gate upon arrival (additional charge may apply). Clarification: more information to follow on this.
- The general store is now open at NJMP (where the CDOC store was in the past - at the corner of the building with the "Officer's Club" in the Thunderbolt Course paddock. They sell things like toothbrushes, shaving cream, NJMP apparel, snacks, and drinks. In addition they have a small sitting area with televisions - the building is air conditioned and they welcome participants and spectators who would like to cool off. They will be playing two-wheel races when they are open and air during our events.
To reiterate the point about NJMP rules and regulations: New Jersey is very serious about how it governs and regulates motorsports. Much of the issues at the gate are based on this. Let's work with NJMP security this year - they are going to seem overzealous (best way to put it). If you have issues while at NJMP, please bring them to my or Dave Sanders' attention and I we will work to resolve them quickly.
