NJXOR @ NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY NEW EGYPT NJ 2009!!!!

With a month away from the racing season starting there has been quite a few people in the area who have volunteered to help make this First season of the NJXOR a success. There have been a lot of people who have been waiting for something this exciting come to a place so close to home. For the first time in NJ racing history has a such Extreme Sport come to this state.

With little land here in NJ there is always room for some kind of motor sport race. In early Sept 2008 we had contacted some local area tracks and nothing turned up until we had talked to New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt NJ. When we had contacted the management and owners of the track they couldn’t say NO.

From there we had gone over a lot of ideas and everyone’s plans. We had decided to have a course on a 1/2 mile oval wit the being about ¾ mile running area after all the turns and obstacles. For the first like said before there has never been such and extreme race like this held in NJ. We are hoping for some new comers to enter this sport and make the Off-Road community a better place.

Working with NJ Racing Commission was the toughest times throughout planning this event around all the racing rules here in NJ. But with all the battling back and forth we had come to a decision with the rules and go from there.

After advertising this event at the 24th Len Sammons Motorsports show in Atlantic City I want to first thank Lou Levy (BRONCOLOU) and Doug Bigelow(BIGELOW MOTORSPORTS) for taking there time out of there busy schedule to help promote the new upcoming sport in NJ. Also want to throw out a special thanks to New Egypt Speedway for bringing this Off-Road Racing to the next level, Clayton Off-Road, OK 4WD, River Raider Off-Road, NJJA, Armenti Tax and Financial Services, PRP Racing Products, and last but not least by far Dean and Matt from 4lowdigital.com for event coverage and photos, for all the people who drove hours to come and check it out and talk to us, and also all the time and patience for the whole deal.

With our first event being in April there is a lot more to come out. Working on other plans for the future. Also to pronounce that our July 11th show will be under the lights!!!!! This will be exciting to racers, fans and also promoters to see something this extreme with the lights glowing throughout the course. Something different and unique.

Once again I want to thank all who is involved and helped to make this 2009 season happen.

I will go out tomorrow and take photos of the track for everyone to view. Just to let everyone know there is still some work that needs to be done, Due to the weather from a day or so ago they will be waiting but I will get some pics up for everyone tomorrow. Jason

I have been asked a few times if sticky's or competition compund tire are allowed?

Well to answer that yes reviing that rule on the post. The only catch is that the only class that are allowed to run the sticky's etc. is the UNLIMITED CLASS. STOCK is REQUIRED to run DOT tires.

Sorry for the confusio:)n

Here are some facility pictures where NJXOR is being held for 2009. Also I apologize for there being snow this weather needs to break:

Thanks Staff of NJXOR

Can I get a link to the vehicle rules?

Want to make sure my buggy is meets the rules. It currently meets WEROCK's unlimited rules.

edit: I just read thru the NJ Motor Vehicle Racetrack rules and am not sure which grouping of rules to follow, but I do have some questions:

From the Oval Racing Requirements:
13:62-4.15 Fire Wall and flooring----what are the requirements for materials and thickness?
(b) All vehicles shall have a permanent fire wall between the fuel supply and the driver, unless the fuel tank consists of a shell with an inner rubber bladder in which the case the fire wall is not required. My fuel cell is maybe 2 gals and is a custom made aluminum tank that resides behind my seat. I guess this might be a problem

13:62-4.17 Fuel Tanks
6. Fuel tanks shall not be mounted within the driver's compartment. Damn,I just answered my own question. By the way, how long do you expect each race to last?

13:62-4.20 Batteries
Do dry cell/sealed batteries excempt us from this rule. My battery is on the floor pan in front of my seat.

From the Automobile Enduro Events:
13:62-10.12 Fuel Tanks
(f) a metal fire wall shall be installed between the fuel tank and the drivers compartment to afford the driver maximun protection. If i build a metal firewall to isolate the fuel cell from the drivers compartment does the entire firewall have to be metal. My buggy is a moonbuggy configuration and my firewall is metal on the lower half and lexan on the upper part so i can see out the back. Is this permissable?

13:62-10.19 Rollover Cage
From what I read thru most of the vehicle rules, cages are supposed to be constructed of 1 3/4" (.09 inch wall thickness). My buggy is constructed of 1.5" 1.20wall chromoly for the bulk of the tubing?

Also if you plan to run comp compound tire there is no issue but only in the unlimited class can you run them. Thanks Jason

We have no affiliation with the mud bogs and NO there will be no mud bogs during our events as of 2009 Thanks

Must have something protecting you from fuels cell

Stickeys are not DOT approved........

I know they are not DOT approved but they are ok in the unlimited class but not in the stock class. I have to change and revise the rule book...Thanks :D

Just need to tie up some loose ends this weekend and then all is good.

Some more tabs on the cage.
http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss134/awmotorsports/buggybuild119.jpg

Install the harness's, net, driveshaft hoops and kill switch and she is good to go. Well kinda, still need to swap out the front axle, weld the rear, and swap the tires, but other than that.....:D

Put me down for camping at the facility. Pretty sure thats what I'm gonna do unless its like 20 degrees outside. any pics of the track?

Doug if you want you can crash at my place (moms). Plenty of room to park(4arces) and extra rooms.

best part is it is all of 20 min from the race and 15 from any of the after parties, that is unless my place is the after party.

Dan

well I was trying to get Vinci's on 537 but they closed there doors as of what I heard. I know Kurt had mentioned after party but whatever is good. Also I like the stock rig looks sweet.

Doug no issue I have you and Lou on list for camping on site. Shouldnt be that cold but who knows the weather has been crazy with changing. If you guys want to let me know what time you are planning on getting in on Friday, I can possibly get you guys out of the way with registration and tech so let me know. Thanks Jason

You gonna cash my check or what? See you fri.......:smokin: That is if my 6th torque converter is right:shaking: I learned a valuable/expensive lesson this time around.

Hey Doug....how about you go easy on me since I am new at this:flipoff2:

Doesn't look like I'm going to get things together in time for this race. I will be in the garage working but it is VERY tempting to come pit for you guys, Lou and Doug.

That sucks you will not be ready. Well I think the KOH RC run date kinda put everyone towards that with build ups. Gladd we have 25 baja competitors but I hope it dosent detour the owner to making just baja racing. Hope to see all who comes out and competes. I think its a great chance to test vehicle for KOH RC .

lets go wheel to wheel with the baja racers

they will not do the rocks though. I have been trying to get there trucks to do Rocks but they will not budge.

Doesn't look like I'm going to get things together in time for this race. I will be in the garage working but it is VERY tempting to come pit for you guys, Lou and Doug. I got room in the trailer.....My regular pit guy wont be around.

You can be the little spoon:flipoff2:

For all who is coming and staying at the track please let me know a round about time you will be in? Also call me at 609-947-7223. Thanks Jason

5 Days, I am pumped. Got my XJ more or less all set, just have to finish wireing in the shut down switch, and check the fluids. Other than that it is ready to roll (literally)

Cant wait.

Gonna take friday off to swap the tires and do some last minute things. So if any of you are coming up friday hit me up, stop by and have a beer or two. I am only 20 minutes from the track.

Dan

Maybe I'll drop by. :D

Maybe I'll drop by. :D

Take some pictures. I've gotta be in NY to sell my 350 otherwise I'd head down there.

I'll be there 3 days away!
