June NJ/NY Thunderbolt NJMP - Driver School and Club Race

Driver's School

Monday, June 1 — Tuesday, June 2, 2026

We are running the new Devil's Pass and without the chicane

Please come join us for our traditional Driver School event at our annual June Club Race/Driver School to benefit the Westlake School to be held at our home track at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ.  The event will be held on Thunderbolt Raceway, which is a 14 turn, 2.25 mile road course designed by the owners of VIR with help from the legendary Carroll Shelby. Since 2008 a number of professional racing series have held events at Thunderbolt Raceway.  This is a perfect spectator event given the proximity of the track to the majority of our members, the excitement of Club Racing and the joy of the kids from the Westlake School who come as our guests. Take a personal day and come out to the track! Driver School: We anticipate a full school for this event based on our success of past years.  To accommodate the maximum number of students possible, there may be a greater range of driving skills than usual in each group. If you send a payment and we cannot accommodate you, you will receive a full refund (i.e., a cancellation fee will not be assessed). As always, acceptance preference is based upon the date your payment is received by the registrar. REGISTER EARLY TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN THE SCHOOL! We are offering single day student registrations for either Monday or Tuesday! While we still believe that you will get maximum fun and learning by participating in both days, we also understand that not everyone is able to come for two days. Come out and join us for what is always a fun event. Spectators: You are welcome to attend the event and watch - no charge for spectators and we may be able to get you a ride on track with an instructor!   Driver School Sponsors:

July Summit Point Main - Driver School & Club Race

Driver's School

Saturday, Jul 11 — Sunday, Jul 12, 2026

Geoff Atkinson Memorial Driver School and Club Race: Please come join us for the Thirteenth Annual Geoff Atkinson Memorial Driver School and Club Race. We are planning a special celebration of our friend Geoff Atkinson - please come out and make this an event to remember. Our annual combined Driver School and Club race at Summit Point Raceway has become the NJ Chapter’s second tradition (behind our June race/school). Summit Point Raceway is in the rolling hills of the northeast corner of West Virginia near Harper’s Ferry. While West Virginia sounds like a long drive, for many NJ members it is, in fact, not any further driving time than to Palmer or Watkins Glen. The School and the Club Race divide track time between student run groups in the School and Race run groups. So, when you’re not on the track or in the classroom, you can take time to watch the racing. We may run 3 student groups for this event depending on racer participation. Be sure to register early to lock-in your place in the school! Please note also that we will allow open face helmets (Snell 2020 or newer) for this event.
