09: SCCA TransAm Weekend and VW TDI Cup, NJMP
- Talk about a day for racing: at this event, Milleville, NJ where the New Jersey Motorsports Park is located is where the maiden SCCA Pro Racing Event took place. Laps were in the 1 minute 22 second timeframe and an exciting 40 laps was the schedule for this event. The main event was the Trans-Am Series, that included support races from the VW TDI Cup, Spec Racer Pro and even a vintage Trans-Am Race.
- The VW TDI Cup race was also a crowd pleaser. 19 “quiet” laps with lap times running around the 1:35 mark, make for some great racing. The podium results were as follows: [1] JuanPablo SierraLendle/Puebla/MX Pirelli/VW Jetta TDI, [2] Arie Ouimet(R)/Plymouth/MA VW Parts & Accessories/VW Jetta TDI and [3] Chris Wehrheim(R)/Norcross/GA Lamin-X/VW Jetta TDI. On a little tidbit of information, these cars travel nationwide and complete their practice/racing on a total of 30 gallons/car. Now imagine, what’s the mileage per gallon (or per lap) they get per race?
