8 Tracks in 8 Events!! Working closely with our friends in the Delaware Valley chapter (register here for DV events), we are offering a spectacular season in which you will be able to experience 8 different tracks/configurations over the span of 8 events that are well spaced over the full driver school season:
- We start the year with the NJ chapter at Thunderbolt Raceway at NJMP with the combined driver school and instructor training school on April 4-5.
- Next up is the traditional DelVal event at Jefferson/Summit main on April 16-18 with 2 days on the newly expanded Jefferson circuit, one day in each direction, followed by Monday on the main track at Summit Point.
- DelVal then goes to the twists, turns and elevation changes of Palmer Motorsports Park on the weekend of May 14-15.
- NJ’s traditional driver school and club race to benefit the Westlake School will be on Lightning Raceway at NJMP this year on June 6-7 with the Monday evening auction and banquet at the Officer’s Club at Thunderbolt.
- DelVal then goes to Watkins Glen on July 13-14 for two days on the full and completely repaved track with a paddock party on Wed evening.
- NJ holds the 3rd Annual Geoff Atkinson Memorial Driver School and Club Race on July 23-24 on the main track at Summit Point. We will be having our traditional track-side BBQ on Sat evening.
- DelVal returns to Lightning Raceway on Aug 19-21 for a combined driver school and club race with extended time for advanced students and instructors and a special endurance race on Friday. DV's traditional paddock party will be on Saturday night.
- NJ finishes the season with our weekend event on the Shenandoah Circuit at Summit Point on October 8-9 where the run groups are small, track walks are fun and everyone gets time on the skid pad.
Club Racers, we have not forgotten about you. As the above schedule states, we have races scheduled at Lightning in June, Summit Point in July and back to Lightning in August. GVC has returned its Watkins Glen race to the traditional September weekend so throw that in along with Mid-Ohio or VIR and you have a nice season.
Promotions: We are still working on promotions, and possible sponsors, for our 2016 events. Stay tuned and we will provide email updates once they are finalized. All promotions will be retroactive to include early registrants so go ahead and sign up now and don't worry about missing out on special options.
Remember to register early to avoid ending up on the waiting list. Think warm thoughts, visualize your perfect laps and we’ll see you in the Spring.

Re: Registration open for all 2016 driving events
The Driver School description summary has a 2016 copyright, but still refers to a 2005 Snell rate for helmets.
Please confirm that the helmet rule date was not on oversight and remains at Snell 2005 or newer.

Re: Registration open for all 2016 driving events
It is correct that Snell2005 or newer helmets are acceptable. We, and most other organizations, allow a 1-year grace period after the new certifications come out. There is generally a delay from the helmet manufacturers before the new spec helmets are available in all sizes and styles.
