All track-worthy sports cars may be accepted pending a satisfactory safety inspection prior to the event.  No full-size SUVs.  A Safety Inspection Form must be completed for all cars before the event and submitted at the track during grid tech on the first day.  Vehicles deemed by Schattenbaum staff to be unsuitable for high speed track events will not be permitted.

Additional NJMP Information:

1. The NJMP track registration office is open the night before an event from 6-10 pm and also from 7:00-10 am every morning.  All participants who wish to purchase NJMP support services such as camping, electricity, garages, and suite rentals must go to the front gate NJMP window to sign waivers and pay for the additional services .  Participants will not be able to purchase additional services outside of these registration hours.  Services may be purchased in advance by contacting the track directly.

2.  All persons entering the NJMP facility are required to sign NJMP's waiver statement.  No one will be allowed to enter the park without the proper wrist band or credential.  All DE entrants must also sign a PCA liability waiver when checking in for the event in the paddock classroom.  Credentials distributed by Schattenbaum are for Club use only and do not override or substitute NJMP credentials unless previously authorized by NJMP.

3. Typically, entrants will not be allowed to enter the paddock until 7pm the night before an event.  However, NJMP security personnel may permit early entry on a case by case basis.  This will never occur before 6pm.  The same procedure applies to the morning entry time of 7am.  Contact NJMP directly to inquire about early entry.

4. State of New Jersey Chapter 62 Race Track Regulations do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to enter the hot pits.  NJMP security will not allow anyone without the proper wristband/credentials to go beyond the pit lane fence.  These credentials will be available at the NJMP gate window.
