We (the NNJR-SCCA) may try an autocross on the road course. Otherwise, no, I've driven the course enough when it was first paved (for recon/feedback purposes) and came to the conclusion that anything more powerful than a 200hp car would be dangerous.

I assume your talking about the E-Town roadrace course? that did look dangerous for anything but go-karts........maybe. I've been looking into this track for a couple years and it was supposed to be built in 2006 if I recall but obviously the legislation is taking forever (what else is new in NJ??) Maybe ill make it back there if the track ever gets built for an event one day, but for now Ill be enjoying the sun/fun/and lots of racing here in Florida

I'm still curious about this quote:

“It's not going to bring 150,000 people twice a year,” said Don Ayres, Millville's director of economic development. “We're talking crowds of five to ten thousand coming 45 weeks a year.”

5k to 10k per week?!? Even with their R&D center and conference center, that number is off by a factor of 10!

I'd expect similar numbers to VIR, and I don't have a clue what kind of numbers they bring in.
