New Jersey Motorsports Park is Pretty Cool

I was down at NJ Motorsports Park with the SCDA earlier this week. We ran Thunderbolt on Monday, and Lightning on Tuesday. All I can say is wow!

Thunderbolt was fun. It is pretty fast, some elevation change, and takes a little while to get used to the speeds you can carry through the corners. The corners are much wider than they first appear, and you can really fly through a bunch of them. My only gripe is that many of the corners are text book style corners, so there isn’t that much to “figure out” if you will.

Lightning is in an entirely different league. Overall it is much faster in most places than Thunderbolt, and has an excellent rhythm and feel to it, much like Lime Rock. And other than 1 text book left hand corner, every other corner is unique and takes a little thought to figure out.

I’ll try and get some videos up soon.
