Event Reports

Renntag Racing rolled into South Jersey, just outside Millville, with the TrackDaze crew mid afternoon on Friday June 11. Porsche Club was still active on Lightning Raceway. The weather was perfect.

A short staff meeting, classroom and registration set up and the tech crew ready to go, we were a go. Drivers started to file in and the event was starting.

Looking to create tomorrow's performance drivers today...

Renntag Racing has teamed up with TrackDaze to put on High Performance Drivers Education events in the Mid-Atlantic region in 2010.

Colin Jevens is developing a classroom program while sharing co-chief instructor duties with friend, fellow racer, and owner of Get-Fast, Jon Felton.

With dates at VIR, Summit Point, and NJMP, this will be an interesting season.

Another great track event for the history books. TrackDaze and the Renntag Racing crew were blessed with fantastic weather at Summit Point Motorsports Park. Jon and Matt were on hand to provide instruction while Colin ran classroom and operated as co-chief instructor with Jon Felton of www.Get-Fast.net. With a wide range of cars, Eric and Jeremy of TrackDaze are showing there is no marque restriction at their events. A group from the VW corporate office was also on hand to have fun.

SVTOA was on Shenandoah and SPR this past Saturday-Monday enjoying the wet weather and slick track conditions. Brian, Jeff and Mark put on a great show and everyone seemed to have a great time. Most everyone did well and kept on track. The display of ford powered equipment was impressive. From vintage mustangs with full griggs suspension to brand new Shelby mustangs. There were many other SVT examples like the lightning and the focus taking to the track.

The Jefferson 500 returned to Summit Point Raceway for a wet spectacle of vintage racing machinery. Many many talented drivers arrived to pilot historical machines around our home track. Just walking around the paddock was like touring a museum. The fact that these cars are still entered into competition is a measure of the metal of the owners and drivers alike.

Renntag Racing is looking to the karting realm of motorsport for another avenue of education and road racing. Just shy of 2 hours from Washington DC is a small road course catering to Go-Karts of all sizes. Ages of the participants ranged from 5 to over 50. The most highly contested classes were in the 8-15 year old range where the competition was fierce. Many position changes and close battles made for exciting racing.

NASA Mid-Atlantic returns to VIR for race 3 and 4. With a wet forecast, Colin is excited to play in the rain. The first day is testing and comp school, again Colin worked with the new up and coming drivers looking to earn a license. He is always honored to work with school head and Chief of Instruction Dan Unkefer, Regional Director Chris Cobetto and champion drivers; Billy Revis, Chip Stabler, Carter Hunt and Allan Haggai. Colin has often stated, "I learn something new with each school I get to work with. This continues to move both my driving and racing forward.

The NASA Mid-Atlantic season got off to a great start in February. Decent weather was in the forecast with chances of showers (perfect). The typical VIR schedule with testing and comp school on Friday and a modified Sat-Sun schedule making for a long race on Sunday. The new format was well received making the early competition sessions combined qualify/practice. This made time for a 40 minute race many racers asked for. Colin worked in the competition school on Friday and made final preparations for the weekend's races.

Race 1.

NASA racers descend upon Summit Point raceway for the last time in 2008 early in November. In order to have an end of the year awards party saturday night, the race schedule was changed and 2 sprints were run on the first day of the weekend. This amended schedule provided no practice and thunder was first on track for qualifying at 0800. Many of the CMC drivers followed Lydic's lead and parked on grid the night before. Renntag Racing driver, Colin Jevens wanted to wait to see if it was going to be a wet session and kept his car in his paddock area.
