Why do they call it the Garden State? Because Oil and Petrochemical Refinery State wouldn't fit on the license plate.
like Snooki that orange troll? NJMP is an awesome track- both T-bolt and Lightning. And, you can stay right in the suites on the S/F line and rent a garage right below. Lotta perks with that. Would be great to see WERA hit it up.
njmp is a great facility, i'd love to see a wera national there (because i'm close and could go) surrounding town isnt the greatest, (especially the motorsports inn) but a really nice track layout and facility, i would love for the ama to do two events there and wera to be there also (its 2.5 hours from me)
Ocean Spray gets the majority of their cranberries from Rutgers :up: Little known fact, but the majority of Rutger's patents come from their food science group.
NJMP is a great track with good facilities. The local cuisine is just like other race track food, it is just covered in flies. I heard they are trying to find a way to charge people who eat the flies, nothing is free in jersey.
that's funny! i go to a track to race....and then camp there overnight. again the focus is on the racing....not the surrounding area. if the town of millville isn't up to your normal standards of lodging, maybe you should check into the four seasons in philadelphia (it is only 45 minutes away). while in philadelphia you'll have many fine choices for dining....might i recommend vetri or 10 arts. good luck to ya! tex
The small downtown area of Millville is actually pretty nice. Two good pubs, and two very nice restaurants, and a few smaller places to eat. Not a single cheesy franchise place; all real food made by real people. Met a guy who owns/runs a glassblowing business who also races carts at the track. He showed me a series of glass trophies he made one of the car events; very cool stuff. Unfortunately, the downtown is surrounded by some really crappy areas, but hey, no wealthy town is going to allow a race track to be built nearby. Went to Indy this year, and had the joyful experience of driving through Speedway and it's fine selection of check cashing stores and crack whores. After the 4-5 blocks of crappyness, Millville turns into the giant vanilla big box store strip mall scene by the highway. In all honesty, I've never see a track so close to major shopping, hotels and restaurants before (about a 15 minute drive)
20 minutes form the track is a Wyndham Inn and a brand new Hampton Inn. Both are very nice hotels and approved by the misses :up: No reason to stay at a local crack hotel, unless you really want to save $20.
BTW I also think they are opening a Residence Inn/Marriott and Shop Rite very close to the track. The town does have a nice little diner, and also a couple highly rated restaurants.
OMG, one look at that place and you know to stay away. Far away. LOL. The Quality Inn right next door to it isn't bad, however. Also avoid the local Econolodge and Days Inn.
Yeah the Quality Inn was totally fine for an inexpensive motel. I read some bad reviews online before I stayed there so I was kind of worried it would be a shithole, but I have no complaints from my stay.
