Tickets are available at the gate $15.00 on Friday and $20.00 on Saturday. Hope this helps call the track and see if they are doing will-call or ticket-master.

Those of you thinking about entering the D1 drivers search.

Must install 6 points or better roll cage (only stainless steel or chrome-molly materials allowed) and side bar on drivers seat.
Roll cage : Each car must be equipped with a six-point or better roll cage. A competition car with carbon, FRP, Fiber Glass or any non-metal doors must have the door impact protection X bars welded to both front (A-pillars) and center pillers (B-pillers). Roll cage must be welded or securely bolted and anchored. If roll cage is bolted then its must be securely reinforced with an anchor plate and backing plate sandwich on each side of the floor pan."

Mr. Moore,



Thank you very much for contacting us in regards to the driver search.



The regulation applies to all cars that are going to participate in our event, therefore, it will apply to the driver search drivers as well.



If you have any other question, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Also, please keep in mind that the registration form must be received by the 20th at D1 office.



Thank you.



Best regards,

I managed to take off fri+sat, I thinking this is the type of event that doesn't happen often especially on the east coast so i'll go both days.

If anyone wants to split the costs of getting a room just let me know, otherwise i'll be commuting. Passenger seat is open for anyone that wants a ride with me down there.

Hello I (Nd4SpdGirl) just called the Day Inn in Freehold, NJ which is only 15min from the track and reserved 3 rooms just in case, but if you know your not going to stay and I dont need 3 rooms then let me know buy Wed. 2.pm so that I can cancel one of them. if you need the number its 732.462.3450 the rooms are all non-smoking and the pool is closed. and I reserved them for two nights just in case so make our minds up so i can call and tell me one or two nights.

Thanks for the coraperation.

Still in the process, I emailed them about getting a media pass about a month ago and never got a response. Then about 2 weeks later they post a link on the etown website about obtaining media credentials, it was a pdf file that you had to print and mail in which I did. So I emailed them again a few days ago and still haven't gotten a response. So far my impression of etown's handling of media is lacking. If I don't get a media pass then it's ok, I don't expect to get one at every event I goto but I always try to give it a shot but media pass or not i'm gonna enjoy myself anyway.

I called the hotel and all rooms have double beds and if needed you can request a microwave. It has Free cont. breakfast that starts at 6:30am. Free highspeed internet

Called the hotel said he had 5 non-smoking and 6 smoking so guys better book something and the phone number is 732-462-3450.

There is only 2 hotels in the immediate area just to let you know.
Aaron and I have a room and so dose Jerry so I leave the rest up to you guys to make your own reservations mainly b/c you need a credit card to reserve and if you don't cancel the reservation by 48 hours your still charged.

I'm bailing. My friend recently traded 240s with another guy so now he's building up a s14....but it's definitely not ready for the Driver Search so he isn't heading up. I also realized I have finals next week so I should probably stay at school and get some studying done over the weekend. Bummer.

I'll be commuting both days, the last event on friday for d1 is the group demo event which is at 5pm and i'm figuring that will end way before 10pm so i'll go home and the first event on saturday starts at 10am so that gives me plenty of time to sleep.

The track is 90 miles from me, about an hour and a half drive. When we got a hotel room in pa for the auto-x I didn't feel it was worth it for me since I didn't live that far and stayed up late anyway and it was roughly the same distance. Tony we can drive there together on saturday if you want, I have gps.

I may bring 3 cameras. A point and shoot digital cam, a waterproof 35mm film camera(+6 rolls of flim) incase it rains and my usual dslr cam that I always shoot with. If someone wants to snap some pics of things just tell me, the more people there is to cover the event the better. If you want to use one of the compact cams please bring aa batteries preferably rechargeable since they use al ot more power, I have plenty of memory for thousands of photos.
