NJMP Lightning Oct. 16-17 with NJBMWCCA

midlifecrisis · 09-23-2011, 08:52 AM

NJBMWCCA is doing its annual intro school on Sun. and Mon. Oct. 16 & 17. Special deals for people who have never been on track, and all skill levels are welcome.

This event has sold out the past two years, and has been expanded to two days this year, although they're offering one day sessions for novices, too.

For more details, go to www.njbmwcca.org. If you've never been on the track with your M3, this might be just the event for you. For advanced drivers, Lightning is a great fast track. Come on out!

I would email them about the motorcycle helmet. I don't think that will fly, they're pretty specific about using Snell certified helmets.

red998 · 09-29-2011, 11:00 PM

all motorcycle helmets are snell certified, but i will look into it.

jrlee53 · 09-30-2011, 08:31 AM

Ahh, had no idea. I looked at some of the older events and they accept M 2005 and newer, hopefully NJ is the same.

I am leaving from Bridgewater if you want to meet up somewhere and roll together. And the bike helmet is fine I think they are even accepting Snell 2000 helmets until the end of the year.

turugara · 10-04-2011, 11:39 AM

They only had Monday available when I signed up. I'll be there then.

MTROIS · 10-04-2011, 08:44 PM

Will be there too. Should be another 2days of great fun!

red998 · 10-05-2011, 08:54 PM

i had to cancel cause of shortage at work.
sunday spot should be open.
total bummer

GreasyGinzo · 10-07-2011, 04:52 PM

I am leaving from Bridgewater on Sat mid afternoon. I decided to get the room for 2 nights. I didn't want to have to leave at like 4am on Sunday.

MTROIS · 10-12-2011, 07:49 AM

Event is getting closer... I hope we will have dry and sunny weather!
