Great News!

John worked with Watkins Glen and has been able to switch us from a Tuesday/Wednesday event to a Monday/Tuesday event – one less vacation day required!

The new dates are September 12 and 13. Update your calendars and stay tuned for future announcements.

Mark, that's awesome.

It also makes a big difference for me. I made WGI work this year because I had never been, but I couldn't justify another 3 days off for this event. Even just going from 3 days off to 2 days off makes this a possibility.

BOD - thanks for the good work!

So Troy, I finally get to the point where I can almost drive, and you go to a 1.8. Now I'm gonna be chasing TWO black Miatas!!! :roll: I'm gonna enter my '99 Taurus SHO in SS at this rate.

I just watched some video of Lightning, and I was like.... "eh".... Then again, I watched the vids for Thunderbolt prior to going there last November and was like.... "eh"...but was pleasantly surprised at how good the track was. I'll go....definitely.

Between COM, EMRA, and NASA you could almost spend that entire week at NJMP (July 30th-August 7th).

From what I've heard (never driven Lightening), it's much more of a Miata/momentum track than Thunderbolt. You'll enjoy it fo sho.

Video

FYI, just saw this on Miata.net:

"We got official word from NJ Motorsports Park that they will no longer be accepting open face helmets for high performance driving events at their facilities. The minimum requirement is now a Snell rated (M2000 for track day / Miata Challenge, SA2000 for wheel to wheel racing) full face helmet with a shield for cars of all types."

Did I hear a rumor about a potential one day (licensed drivers only) open track event at NHMS sponsored by COM in early April?
