ROAD TRIPS AND FISH STORIES It is Labor Day, and the much ballyhooed weather catastrophe of hurricane Hermine has proven to be mere weather channel click-bait. Suckered again. The driving season is winding down, and with this increasingly comes that peculiar sadness of pre-post-season letdown. A bit like getting choked up over the end of […]
By Hubert King Good neighbors, my 996, DE essentials in waterproof bins and my folding chair I blame it all on Tom Swift. Early this year our track chair sent an enticing letter to the club members who had never participated in a DE event. There would be a Lunch and Learn seminar on January […]

By Tom Swift The Thrill of the CanAm DE In mid-July the NNJR DE program ventured north to Mosport, a track just east of Toronto. We hold the Canadian/American DE in partnership with the Upper Canada Region of PCA. As most of our members have not been to Mosport, I’d like to share some thoughts […]
Driver’s Log By Tom Swift Mother Nature Frowns on my First Event Our first driver education event each season has been for some years now at Lime Rock Park in early April. On a historical note, NNJR’s first track event ever was held at LRP in 1971, 45 years ago. While I have not been […]
