CIRCUIT
Thunderbolt full course

HELMETS
NJMP is the one track this year where we will require a Snell SA2015 or newer helmet. While Lemons is honoring Snell SA2010 helmets through the end of 2021, New Jersey as a state is not. There may be separate enforcement (by the NJ State Police--no, we are not kidding) onsite. If you're racing NJMP and don't have an SA2015 or newer helmet, we advise you to update to SA2020.

GARAGES
Follow this link to reserve a garage with the track. https://njmp.com/garage-rentals/

OPTIONAL FRIDAY TESTING
Optional Friday testing is organized and operated by NJMP, not Lemons. Includes optional Thursday-night early facility entry and optional Thursday-night early testing inspection (NJMP testing inspection does not count as Lemons inspection).

•Tell Lemons officials immediately if you have symptoms on site.

PARKING/PADDOCK/FACILITIES
•Keep 10' of space (the width of a city bus) between paddock spots.

•When you pass tech, we'll drop a packet including your Tech OK sticker, rental transponder, and other crap onto the driver's seat. That's it--you're finished!

GEAR TECH
•Wear your full safety gear, including head-and-neck restraint, to gear tech. Helmet can be off, so be masked.
•Gear Tech takes place dudring regular tech hours. If you miss it, just go the Penalty Box for a onesy-twosy inspection.

•Everyone in the fueling area must be in full safety gear.
•Everyone in the fueling area must be a registered driver or crew member--no spectators.

•Kill switch off; no one in car; drip pan in place; and a dedicated extinguisher person are all mandatory while fueling.
•Only fueling, driver change, and cool-suit ice changes allowed in the hot pit. For everything else (tire pressure, fluid checks, engine swaps) go to the paddock.
