Thunder Again 2015

New Jersey Motorsports Park

About this event

 

The Delaware Region PCA will be holding its annual 3 day event at the fantastic Thunderbolt Raceway at New Jersey Motorsports Park. 2015 is our 8th year and we continue to host one of the premier events on the track calendar.

Friday is an instructor/solo day which allows for *up to 4 hours of track time* while Sat & Sun is open to all. Note this event is not restricted to Porsches or PCA members. All marques are welcome.

A evening banquet * can you say Pig Roast & Chicken BBQ by the pool! * is provided to all participants on Saturday. A relaxed, fun weekend with some of best drivers and instructors at one of the best tracks in the country. What more could you want? Sign up now!

 

Current Status 10/24:  We are accepting only Instructors. All others will be placed on the Wait List.
 

Event requirements

Entrants must be 18 or older and possess a valid drivers license.

All marques are welcome, it's not just for Porsches. PCA club membership is not required.

We also accept qualified instructors from other groups such as BMWCCA, NASA, SCCA, etc.

SA 2005 or newer helmets are required. SA, M and K rated helmets are allowed.
Note: no Open faced helmets - must be a Full Face helmet with Shield - no glasses or goggles. This is a NJ State Law requirement.

Equal restraints must be provided for cars in the instructed groups. This means if you have 5 point harness for you, there must also be one for your instructor/passenger seat.

All cars must have a technical inspection done by an approved tech facility before the event. This inspection must be done within 4 weeks of the event. We do a grid tech every morning of the event but this does not substitute for the pre-event inspection. Any cars that show up at the track without a pre-event inspection will be refused entry into the event and no refunds provided. An inspection form will be provided on our website. If you have a tech inspection done and then participate in another track event before our weekend, you must have a new tech inspection done. 

Convertibles are allowed with factory rollbars extended - must pass the broomstick test
Convertibles must run with the top up, roll hoops must be extended and pass the broomstick test, as do convertibles with aftermarket roll bars.
Convertibles who want to run with the top down can do so as long as they use arm restraints.

New this year: No drones allowed to fly on site. Sorry, but it's NJMP's policy. Violators will be asked to leave the property.

Run groups will be assigned by the chief instructors based upon your request. However, if the chief instructors do not know your track experience, a confirmation from your club's chief instructor is required. Please make sure your experience is fully documented in your MSR profile. The Delaware region Chief Instructors have final discretion.

For those who are not familiar with our run group color code:

Green Instructed group, novice and limited or no previous track experience
Blue  Instructed group, have some track experience but is not signed off to solo
White  Not instructed (Solo) group, must have been previously promoted to solo group, not just 'signed off to solo' at last event
Black & Red Advanced and Instructor groups, the difference between Red and Black is primarily the speed potential of the cars, with the faster cars (not drivers!) in Red

If you have a question on which run group to choose, please ask the registrar.

Instructor     2 days (Sat/Sun)                                   $100

*Note: Friday (4 hours of track time) is only offered as part of a 3 day package. It is intended for our instructors benefit. Non-instructors and solo drivers get to tag along. If you want to run just on Friday, you must sign up for 3 days. Whining to the registrar won't change this policy.

 

Important information regarding your registration

Late Fee

After Sept 23rd, there will be late fee of $50 added for any registrations after that date. 


Confirmations

Your spot in the event is not guaranteed until all payments are made Preferences for number, instructor assignments and other requests are based upon the date that registration is fully completed and confirmed.
