CONGRATULATIONS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY 0N 75 YEARS!! 1950-2025!
November 2025
| This month I will be sharing two Pole Position stories. This month’s story is from the Pole Position dated March 1989 and titled “1989 Pro Solo Season Opens! NNJR Competitor in the Handicap Challenge!” Author unknown. “It was a beautiful 70 degrees in Tampa, Florida for the opening round of the 1989 Pro Solo Series. The event was held on the supersmooth, super grippy concrete runways of MacDill Air Force base at the southern tip of Tampa. Approximately 120 competitors enjoyed a chance to shake off the winter cobwebs and get in some sun and runs in the Florida sunshine. Representing NNJR were Wayne Faulkner (MR-2) and Curt Springstead (323 GT Turbo) in Stock 3, Rob Foley in Stock 7 (Horizon) and Derek Francis (Sentra) in Street Prepared 3. The courses started off with a tenth of a mile straight followed by a fast sweeper which led into a 1st gear chicane. Another straight followed and led into a 180 degree sweeper. This dumped the driver into a fast station and through the esses and across the finish. It was a fast course with stock times in the low to mid thirty second range and the modified cars running in the high twenties…….. In the Saturday morning practice, all the NNJR drivers were either leading their class, like Rob Foley, or in the top six……The afternoon qualifying was a different story. Rob fell to second behind Steve Brolliar, Curt and Wayne fell to 7th and 9th and Derek Francis had the worst luck of everyone, blowing an engine on his final afternoon run. ……Sunday morning was bittersweet. Rob had a chance to beat Brolliar but hit a cone on the final run. He finished second and made it to the Handicap Challenge. Curt and Wayne fell further as a result of some fast Fires and pylon penalties. They finished 10th and 13th respectively. In the Handicap, Rob blew away Todd Bowland in his winged Modified car. Rob was quoted as saying it wasn’t even close. The margin of victory in that round was about 2 to 3 seconds. On Rob’s final run, he relighted and was eliminated from the Handicap. All things considered, the region faired well with Rob Foley making it to the second round of the Handicap Challenge. The way the competition is on a national basis just making it to the handicap is an accomplishment………” |

2025 Road Racing
| Season 12 of the NEDiv Championship Race Series has concluded. I haven’t yet had a chance for a full evaluation, but the numbers look good. I know that several of the events surpassed the entries from last season with the Fun One and the year ending Thompson coming to mind. At the Fun One there were more than two hundred entries and at Thompson we had the largest entry since the series began having the final race there with numbers exceeding one hundred and ninety. Thank you to all the entrants, workers and regions that made this a great season. As in past years, there will be a Championship Awards luncheon at the NEDiv Convention to be held February 21, 2026 at the Lackawanna Radisson Hotel in Scranton Pa. Champions will have their luncheon fees covered by NEDiv. We are currently putting the finishing touches on the 2026 NEDiv Series schedule and will release the dates as soon as they are approved by the participating regions. Linda and I look forward to seeing you all “at the races” next year!

A report from the 2025 USRRC
By Ed Sain (SJR-SCCA)
Once upon a time (a couple of weeks ago), in a land far, far away (northeast Ohio), a gallant and heroic Jersey father and son rally team set out on their quest to conquer the 2025 United States Road Rally Challenge events.
Their subsequent successful results will forever live in the annals of SCCA history and Jersey folklore. To read their fascinating story about this 1,400 mile journey, click Here.
