Dragracing...

I know, why is a dragster in a Truechoice Motorsports blog? Isn't Truechoice Motorsports a road racing company? The answer is easy... Truechoice is a motorsports company. Yes, we do have years of experience in the road racing venues but we also have experience in a lot of other forms of motorsports also. So, why a Jr Dragster in this blog? I chose to write about the Jr Dragster for 2 reasons:

1. It's my daughter's car
2. It shows some of the diversity of Truechoice
   

For example Jessica uses:

• Bell helmet


• Racequip suit


• Racequip gloves


• Racequip shoes


• Racequip neck brace


• Racequip arm restraints


• Racequip belt pads


• ISC racers tape


• Intercomp pressure gauge


• Intercomp durameter tester


• AN Hardware


• Camlock fasteners


• Dzus fasteners

and I can think of a dozen other things that we will end up with this winter.

Just a thought....

Thunderbolt Raceway

My first trip to South Jersey was actually very nice. I was surprised how nice the area was because I had heard so many of those “New Jersey” stories. The drive was good even through the city of brotherly love but it is amazing how fast it gets rural once you get on 55. This was actually our first trip with the Truechoice Support trailer to the Thunderbolt race track at the New Jersey Motorsports Park.

It was another GREAT SVRA event as always. The SVRA always does a great of putting on events. The weekend was good overall but there were some issues. I believe that the New Jersey Motorsports Park will be an awesome track a year from now. The Air Force theme is really neat and the club house is very nice too.

The security cars all had a WW2 look to them

The club house was very nice (NJMSP is a country club track)

This building that looks like a hanger has an observation deck and a banquet hall

It is far from being finished. It lacked grass, grandstands, and organization. Having any racing on it other then club events is probably way too premature. If you wanted to put a positive spin on the track, what more could guys want construction equipment and race cars in the same place (Tim Taylor of the “Home Improvement” TV program would be in heaven)

Mother Nature would normally not be a factor when deciding when to schedule events but the lack of grass or any type of ground cover created massive dust storms.

We did sell our fair share of Pipercross Air Filters, helicopter tape, Bell visors and tear offs after the driver’s sand blasted the racing on the course.

We will probably be cleaning dust out of the Truechoice Support Trailer for weeks to come.

Nasa’s Travel tips for Millville, New Jersey:

Country Inn & Suites is the nicest hotel in the area.

Serafina’s is a restaurant that you got to eat at. The wait staff treats you like family. It serves “real” Italian food with generous portions. UNBELIEVABLE

All the stores are Vineland (2 exits up on 55)

Life is Good!
