About this event
Come join the NSX Club of America (NSXCA)
HPDE at NJMP Lightning Raceway
September 26th-27th, 2011
Please check out the revised convertible requirements
NSXCA's highly professional and safe track events, ran annually for 12 years, offers students four 30 minute track sessions per day along with 3 classroom sessions per day. You'll appreciate the extra 10 minutes per session that our HPDE event provides over many other club events*.
Our track events are known for having small run groups and this event will be capped at well below the typically 60-150 or more participants that some clubs have. Open track and Instructor run groups enjoy track sessions with very low numbers, usually only 15-20. It's like having your own track day for a fraction of the cost!
Student Registration before July 24, 2011 $395.00
Student Registration July 24 - Sept. 12, 2011 $450.00
Instructor Registration until filled no charge
