I predict a rash of "Thunderbolt Fatigue" right around late summer...

Are all of these regionals or are some nationals only?

 

[Andy Bettencourt]

Most of them are probably Southern Jersey Regionals. The NARRC is there only once...July 18-20.

 

[dtanthon]

Just got word from down south ..... we only have 4 weekends. Must be a typo on the schedule.

July 18-20 SNJ SCCA Lightning Road Course - NARRC
Aug 22-24 NNJR SCCA Regionals Lightning Road Course
Sept 19-21 SNJ SCCA Thunderbolt Raceway
Oct 17-19 NNJR SCCA Regionals Lightning Road Course - 'Throwdown' between all the northeast series before the ARRC?


All regionals this year.

All of the races in 2008 are regionals, you might see a national at NJMP in 2009. South Jersey Region has the July and September dates. Northern New Jersey has the August and the October race.

August certainly is a full schedule at NJMP with events on four straight weekends. Add in the NNJR national at limerock on August 1, 2 and it makes five events in a row and 6 events in 7 weekends (July 19, 20 event at NJMP).

Wonder what EMRA did to get first dibs.
Five events would have been nice, but any date on a new circuit is great for the Northeast.
