NASA Pro Racing Northeast Region Round 5 on August 6, 2011. My third race of the season. New Jersey Motorsports Park Lightning Course.
This is really a great small track that I personally enjoy a lot. Technical and a drivers track with some nice elevation changes and good passing zones.
Very jetlagged, once again, I made it to the track, but entirely missed the Friday open track session after arriving almost at midnight. This weekend I found myself running a new size tire in the front with some used scrubs I found. On this Saturday, it was not tire drama that made me miss practice AGAIN (3rd in a row), but my body simply refusing the acknowledge the alarm at 6:00 AM Eastern Time when it felt like midnight Pacific Time.
A decent setup helped by some front camber advice from other racers, allowed me to qualify 1st in GTS-2 Class, 2nd overall.
Starting in the outside front row, the race was clean with some great racing albeit a VERY close call in T1 when the Pole Sitter barely cleared my nose on exit. That would have not been good for his Nationals Bound racecar with a good chance at a podium this weekend at Mid-Ohio. I made the pass for 1st overall into same T1 on Lap 2 and maintained the lead through the checkered flag. Jonathan ran a hard race and even with some mechanical issues kept the pressure on to keep me pushing hard all the way to the finish.
This race finished marked our 6th consecutive win as we set a new GTS-2 track record. Our 2nd track record in 3 races.
Thanks to Hoosier Racing Tires and RS Barn. Their products and services are what keep me winning. Look no further, buy Hoosier Tires and reach out to RS Barn for all things Porsche 968 and 944.
