New Jersey Motorsports Park – Thunderbolt Raceway

[Nick]

Several PCA members from both RTR and Schattenbaum attended last night’s town meeting in Millville, NJ. The only concerns raised by the local citizens were how the contract was being handled. No one was in opposition of the track.

After the meeting, we had dinner with Lee Brahin and Harvey Siegel. They confirmed that ground breaking will be in early 2007.  They intend to run a full 40 week schedule in 2008.  After the dates of the spectator events are locked in, track dates will be offered to car clubs for DE and club races.

At dinner, I accepted a seat on their Green Flag Committee. This committee is involved in the development and construction of New Jersey Motorsports Park and its operating components. We help to inform the general public of the features and benefits of NJMP and to provide operational support for NJMP charitable events and related social and public affairs. 

I’ll continue to provide regular progress updates to this forum.
