Autocross is, hands-down, the cheapest, safest, least time-consuming way for you to learn basic performance driving, push your car, and push your skills.
It’s fun, informal, safe and the crowd is welcoming. And if you have family members or friends, who are – horrors – Porsche-less, bring them in (more or less) whatever they have – it’s all good. Need a helmet? We have loaners. Need coaching? We have instructors. Have a need for speed? We have the cure. Come on out and join us. If you have questions – reach out to any of the team.
NNJR’s autocross is different. We hold all our events at one of the biggest, best facilities int he country: Pocono Raceway. No tight parking lot for us.
It is racing, but you need not compete. It is fast, but you need not go faster than you car comfortable. No special preparation required. No pre-tech required.
If you want even more information reach out to autocross@nnjr-pca.com and/or watch for our “introduction to Autocross” interactive webinar early this spring.

A few things to know before stealing my 914.
/in CONCOURS NEWS, NNJR BLOG, What's New /by nnjr-pcaIf you every owned a 914, hopped up Beatle, Carmen Ghia, MGB or Midget, Fiat 850 or X1/9, Alfa Romeo Spyder, Triumph Spitfire, etc from the late 60’s to early 70’s…you will relate to this story. My early sports cars all featured heaters that required you to pack a blanket from December through March. All had comprimised convertible tops with drafts in the winter and leaks in the warmer months. They all featured electronics that never worked, or were ever expected to. Defrosters that never defrosted and windshield wipers that were only effective as a poor man’s metronome that sped up when you raced he engine for a drum solo like the B side of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida or Bonham’s solo in ‘Moby Dick’. Not that it mattered, I couldn’t hear anything anyway through the aftermarket Jensen coaxial speakers screwed into the doors while driving because I also had the aftermarket, crackle black. leaky and rotted-out Monza Italian performance exhaust system. It sounded good for the first 500 miles, then it leaked so bad it forced me to roll down a window or pass out, that is, before it ripped on a rail road crossing or a speed bump.
I left off the Jansen Healy and the TR7-because they NEVER really ran at all so some of the advice on shifting a motor car while running, is not applicable.
Remember, the 914 was more dependable than any English or Italian sports car in it’s time and there wasn’t yet a Datsun 240 Z. Click the link below to read the entire story
