Sept 29th, 2012 Chris Carlisi Memorial Meet at NJ Motorsports Park!

[GoodfellaFD3S]

It's that time of year again....the FIFTH Annual Carlisi Memorial Event is upon us :nod:



For those that have attended in past years, the event will largely be the same with a few key additions:

(1) This year you will have the option to sign up for a day on the Lightning course, with four 20-25 minute sessions with Instructors riding along. Beginners are encouraged!

(2) There will be a focus around Chris and his love of RX-7s as well as some basic education around Diabetes.

One other important change is to the method of payment. To register, please paypal $20 per car and $10 per additional passenger (children are free) to: ChrisCarlisiMemorial@yahoo.com. If you'd like a T-Shirt, please include $15 per shirt along with the size you'd like. List your full name, forum name, email address, and short description of your rotary steed. All profits benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

Here is a thread with pics from one of the past year's events to give you an idea of the caliber of cars that have attended (and the huge amount of fun we had!):

Please feel free to check out the NJMP site and learn more about the track and the great events that they hold there all year long.

NOTES OF INTEREST:

1>>>Tracking is available both Saturday and Sunday, one or both days
2>>>If you plan to track the car it's highly recommended to have the car inspected at a reputable shop to ensure the brakes/suspension/drivetrain are in good working order. If you fail the required trackside tech inspection you will not be allowed on track!
3>>>Please come with a full tank of fuel, gas stations are not very close to the track and the fuel on track is a bit pricey
4>>>If you have one, bring a folding canvas chair to sit on as aside from the bleachers seating will be limited
5>>>We will be asking for qualified volunteers to assist in the mandatory early-morning Tech session which will be required for all those going on track
