  • Many shout outs to all the teams there, we only mentioned a few of them, but everyone was great. 
  • We were passed by many if not all of you who were there,
  • Track was easier but aggression was higher
  • What should be our team penalty for getting black flags?  Any suggestions welcomed.  Please leave a comment. 
  • We end with our traditional Good, Bad, and the Ugly, as well as what did we learn from this event.
  • Kate kept up with Black Betty for 5 laps!  It would have been slightly more impressive if they weren’t yellow flag laps, lol. 
  • We all also learned how to fill a hot tub with a pickup truck

Our results from NJMP were that El Jeffe/The Hombre/The Race Truck finished 60th overall out of 133 and 25th in B out of 68 cars with a fastest lap of 1:29.082.  The SpiderStang finished 105th overall and 49th in B with a fastest lap 1:36.75 by our guest driver Matt who does not want to drive it any more, lol.

Did we have fun, always!
