CONGRATULATIONS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY 0N 75 YEARS!! 1950-2025!
March 2026
| This month’s story is from the NNJR Pole Position dated August 1985 written by Ken J. Delaney and titled “Behind the Visor – A quick spin around Lime Rock” “The Racer’s Dictionary defines spinning as finding your limits and then some. I’m sure you have read the ‘hot lap’ segments in Sports Car, and invaluable as they are, they don’t tell the whole story. So, come with me now as we circulate Lime Rock Park. Big Bend – I spun here at my very first race during a heart stopping battle for 16th place. I hit a bit of sand and away I went, a perfect 340 degrees. To the best of my memory I have never spun through 360 degrees and it really isn’t one of my goals. The technique here is to spin to the inside of the track, that way you will be closer to the corner workers, should you need their assistance. The Left Hander – The scene of my most recent pirouette, here the trick is to stay away from the curb and practice your rallycross. The Right Hander – I’ve never spun here, so obviously its not an important part of the track. Waiter, check please. The Climbing Turn – The moral of this story is, spinning uphill is better than kissing the guardrail. West Bend – If you lose it here, you don’t pass ‘GO’ and the body shop will collect at least $200. The Diving Turn – Thank goodness for tire walls, once you’ve spun here the sensation lasts a long, long time. Closing Statement – If you must spin, please spin behind me. RECOMMENDED READING ‘Mike’ by Ted Macauley – The story of Mike Hailwood’s comeback at the Isle of Man. An excellent insight into ‘Mike the Bike’, written by a long time friend. ‘Racing and All’ That by Mike Hailwood and Sterling Moss – An amusing collection of tales by drivers of very different eras. Ripping good yarns……For those with no time to read: VIDEO….. See you trackside, Ken J Delaney |
| NNJR NEWS Save the date for 2027! Next year’s Region Party will be held on SUNDAY (instead of Saturday) January 17, 2027 at the Packanack Lake Clubhouse in Wayne, NJ. Join us for good food and drink with our NNJR friends and family as we present the 2026 season awards. NEWS FROM THE SCCA NEDiv CONVENTION The NEDiv Convention was held on Saturday February 21, 2026 at the Lackawanna Radisson in Scranton, PA. The weather was a concern as a “Blizzard” was predicted to start in the Northeast on Sunday February 22nd! Happily, the weather held out and we had 70+ attendees joining us on Saturday. The day started with a continental breakfast and welcoming remarks made by Chris Mosley, Chair of the NEDiv Council. The sessions were kicked off By Mike Cobb, SCCA President. Sessions throughout the day included several other speakers from SCCA Topeka sharing updates from the National Convention and new projects/resources for this year. Some session topics included Drivers School & Licensing, Region Resources 101 and Region Websites Update to name a few. Awards were given out at the Saturday Awards Luncheon which included a 3-course meal prepared by the hotel’s talented chef. The NEDiv Road Racing Series, chaired by Chris Mosley, gave out its championship awards to 12 different driver class winners. Chuck Dobbs was awarded the Brian Holtz Award. Joe Stadelmann was awarded the Castle Stone Stewards Award. Greg and Sandy Hopkins were awarded the ‘Worker’ of the Year Award and Alex Scaler was awarded the Driver of the Year Award. There was time to spend with friends from other regions and to enjoy a drink or snack at Traxx, a casual bar in the hotel. The sessions ended ahead of schedule with a milk (chocolate milk was a big hit!) and cookie bar to energize everyone for the trip home. We beat the snow! Thank you to everyone who attended, to the hotel staff who were a pleasure to work with again, to the SCCA team from Topeka for their presentations and to the Convention Committee Members Chris Mosley, Kathy Barnes and Linda Santangelo-Mosley, Convention Chair. Please consider becoming a volunteer at events in our region and others in NEDiv. Feel free to reach out to me with any ideas or suggestions at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you! Linda |

Second Hand Roads’ TSD Rally
April 26, 2026
Looking for some TSD Fun!
SCCA-NNJR will be hosting our annual Spring Time-Speed-Distance Rally on the last Sunday of April.
This rally will not have any course following traps, but you will need to ‘stay on your toes’ to stay ‘on-time’, enjoy the great roads and marvelous scenery and try to arrive at each checkpoint at precisely the right time. Checkpoints will be set up along the way to monitor how well you are following the assigned average speeds. Awards will be presented to the teams who do the best job of arriving at the checkpoints at the proper times. This is a rally designed especially for people with little or no rally experience.
Event Registration is open!
