Friday September 26 - Saturday September 27, 2025 METRO NY PCA NJMP LIGHTNING **Driver EDUCATION; Registration open to all drivers.** All marques welcome on track. Book accommodation early for this event; area hotels will be filling up for this weekend and hoteliers will attempt to overcharge late registrants. See note below on hybrid and electric vehicles and SUVs and trucks (NJMP prohibits hybrids, electric vehicles, SUVs, and trucks on its tracks.) YOU HAVE NOT REGISTERED UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID IN FULL, SIGNED AND VERIFIED THE ONLINE WAIVER, AND RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL. PLEASE register early and SAVE. A supplementary registration fee of $50.00 will be applied to payments made within 14 days of the DE. Metro NY PCA limits the number of registrants with the aim of providing an intimate, high-value, social DE experience in which MNY PCA seeks to maximize track run time for every registrant. By submitting your registration application you agree that you have read and acceded to all terms and conditions of the event as expressed in the registration forms and/or on ClubRegistration.net. Some proceeds from this event will go to PCA Metro NY's 2025 charity. ***PCA MEMBERS: BE SURE MEMBERSHIP NUMBER IS CORRECTLY ENTERED IN YOUR CLUB REGISTRATION PROFILE in MY ACCOUNT edit MY MEMBERSHIPS*** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. RUN GROUPS & REGISTRATION… Instructed Student Groups: Green Group: Beginning Student Yellow Group: Advanced Student Solo Groups: Blue Group: Beginning Solo Driver White Group: Intermediate Solo Driver Black Group: Advanced Solo Driver Instructor Groups: Black Group Instructor (Regional PCA Instructor) Red Group Instructor (National PCA Instructor) PLEASE contact us BEFORE registering if you do not KNOW your Run Group with MNY PCA. **IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTRUCTED WITH US BEFORE, PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE REGISTERING AS AN INSTRUCTOR!** All STUDENT DRIVERS will start out on the waiting list until instructor assignments can be made. Students are confirmed on a first come, first serve basis based on time of payment.PLEASE CHECK THE EVENT ROSTER TO SEE YOUR STATUS. SOLO DRIVERS who have never run with MNY PCA, who have not been on track for a long time, or who have never visited the track at which the DE is taking place are likely to be given a courtesy welcome session with an instructor to help confirm run group placement. INSTRUCTOR fees only apply for approved Metro NY PCA Instructors and PCA Nationally Trained Instructors who are actively instructing at the DE. There is a limit on Instructor registrations at the instructor rate. Once the limit is reached, instructors will be placed on a Wait List, or they may register as Black Solo drivers. If they are then asked to instruct, the fee difference will be refunded (less the CC charge). Payment must be received within 5 days of registration to hold your spot (or 7 days prior to event; whichever comes first). You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your registration. If you have not received notification one week prior to the event, please contact the event chair or registrar (metronypcade@gmail.com). Registration cannot be completed if payment is not received. Registration closes on 9/21. NO REFUNDS AFTER 9/10. Driver is responsible for any/all track damage they may cause. Only registered drivers are permitted on the track. Registered drivers MUST be 18 years of age and over, and have a valid driver's license. No passengers are allowed other than registered event instructors. No more than two occupants may be in a car on track. A driver is permitted on the track only during his/her assigned run group. SAFETY… Pre-event tech inspection must be completed by a PCA Region approved tech site within 30 days of event using the current Metro NY PCA Tech Form. It is mandatory for all Boxsters, Cabriolets, Roadsters and Speedsters to have roll bars that meet minimum height requirements. **NJMP requires open cars to have deployed roll-over protection** Open cars must be equipped with roll-over protection meeting the following specifications: (i) the roll bar must be of sufficient height to ensure that the top of the driver’s helmet sits below the line from the top of the roll bar to the top of the windshield (commonly referred to as the “broomstick test”) and; (ii) the roll bar must be fixed and visible at all times when the vehicle is on the track. Snell 2015 or newer helmets are required. 2025 is the last season for Snell2015 equipment. PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to use an OPEN-FACE helmet at NJMP, you may only use it in a factory stock vehicle equipped with air bags. If your vehicle is NOT factory stock or does not have air bags, you MUST use a closed full face helmet. Please be aware of this. This is a law mandated by the NJ State Police by which the track must abide. If your car has aftermarket 5 or 6 Point Harnesses, the webbing must not have an expired date on the manufacturer tag. Most webbing expires after 5 years from date of production. If you are running a 5 or 6 point harness, you are REQUIRED to use a head and neck restraint device that meets the standards of either SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858. PLEASE DO NOT register with a hybrid or electric vehicle or an SUV or truck until you have contacted the Registrar and been approved to participate with that vehicle. Significant safety concerns with electric vehicles mean some tracks and track organizations have banned them outright. We cannot provide full refunds to those who register with hybrids, electric vehicles, SUVs, or trucks without first gaining approval from the registrar. Metro NY PCA sponsors this event as a driver’s education. It is not a race or a race school. We encourage all participants to enjoy the experience and bring a mature, cooperative, and not overly aggressive attitude to the event. Participants engaging in inappropriate actions are subject to having their registration canceled, at the sole discretion of Metro NY PCA. |
