Presidents Message:
Dear Garden State Members:
It is so hard to believe that there are less than 60 days until the Grands. Everything is falling into place and the week will be here before you know it. Thank you to all of those who are willing to work hard to make this run as smoothly as possible. I have heard from many retiring drivers who are willing to come work the event. Any little bit will help!
Our senior novices have finished novice school and are ready to race this weekend. Lets give them a ton of support and try to remember when we all first started. The Jr’s are getting close and should be ready for their opening race very shortly. Thank you to Dave H. and Dave R. for taking out the time each Sunday to teach our new drivers.
Our car counts are rising and my guess is that as the weather gets warmer and closer to Grands weather, our car counts will get even higher. The more help we have, the quicker we can get the show done.
Keep up the good work! Pray for sunny Sundays!
Sincerely,
Jill Forrester

Please be sure you get gas each week on race days. If your numbers are off, it is an automatic DQ and suspension. Please see Rick in the morning to test your fuel if you are unsure!
Please remember to let your drivers know that in NJ it is not allowed to hang out of the car. The helmet may not be passed half way of the Jersey Bar, and seat belts need to be tightened. If you have any questions about this or any other safety issue, please do not hesitate to ask. It is ultimately your responsibility to make sure that your driver is safe.
Tech News: Any new novices or anyone else that bought a motor from someone should have it teched before racing. Anyone who is unsure of whether or not their motor is legal should also have it teched. Please contact Rick Mauriello. It is better to be safe than sorry.
