New Jersey Motor Sports Park

With the nice weather here to stay, Universal Autosports made the season’s first trek to New Jersey Motor Sports Park. It wasn’t difficult to round up a group of clients who wanted to go racing, so once we filled our slots, we loaded up the trailer and headed south. The weather held out and we had a great weekend where a lot of time was spent on the track. While all of the cars raced without any complications, Universal’s tech team was on hand for ‘what-if’ mishaps as well as routine issues like tire changes and maintenance.

The armada of cars for this trip included two 360 Challenge cars, a Nissan GT-R, two Corvettes (one of which was a ZR1), a Mustang, two Porsches, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and a Panoz. The broad display of power and performance from this smorgasbord of sports cars made for a very interesting weekend. Drivers and onlookers alike reveled in the stimulation provided by their respective perspectives. Breaks were amply catered with snacks and camaraderie.

If drivers wanted a change of venue – and if spectators wanted to drive – the go-kart track was open and ready for some smaller cc competition. Whether for practice or for pride, go-kart racers couldn’t stop smiling during their foray into nailing apexes at such a low center of gravity. But it didn’t matter where you were at New Jersey Motor Sports Park – if you were there, you were having a good time. The return to New York on Sunday brought reality back into focus – but only for a little while. Because we’re already planning our next trip to the track, and we hope you’ll join us.
