Joe and Linda

Our event this weekend is named to recognize two SCCA members who were lost on 9/11. Linda Gronlund and Joe DeLuca were two very active SCCA members who were flying to San Francisco aboard United Airlines Flight 93 that morning. Linda was a twenty year member who was then Flag Marshal for NNJR. Joe, also a twenty year member, was the creator of “The Adventures of Raymond the Cat.” Joe had been a rally driver, solo competitor and racer. He had held various regional positions. Their flight was among the four planes hijacked by the terrorists that morning, but was the only one which did not achieve its intended target. When the passengers and crew attempted to retake control of the aircraft from the hijack terrorists, it was flown into the ground in rural Shanksville, PA.

Memorials have been established at all three locations where hijacked aircraft were crashed on 9/11. The beautiful memorials in lower Manhattan and at the Pentagon are fully funded and construction is complete in NY and VA. The Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, PA honors our friends who were passengers on the doomed flight on that most fateful day.

Track Night 2021: Pocono - May 28

Pocono Raceway is one of the most historic circuits on the Track Night in America schedule having hosted NASCAR and IndyCar races for more than 40 years. In addition to the oval known as the “Tricky Triangle,” Pocono raceway includes a selection of road courses, the longest of which takes advantage of the ovals’ 3000+ foot straights to create a 2.5-mile 8-turn layout. Located in the mountains of Pennsylvania, the track is a two-hour drive from both New York City and Philadelphia, making it a great location for an evening at the track.
