The Mid-Atlantic Road Racing Series (MARRS) held its eighth regional SCCA Club Racing event of the year on Saturday August 21st and Sunday August 22nd at the Thunderbolt track at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP).
The Meathead Racing team arrived in time for practice on Friday morning. The drivers making the journey to New Jersey were:
Mike Collins,
Tim Jacobs,
Neil O'Rourke,

After some interesting lessons in the decreasing radial turn, the drivers were all ready for Saturday's qualifying laps and the Saturday race. Ted qualified 19th and took 17th place in the race after being spun entering turn 9 (see video). Congratulations to Tim Jacobs for his third place finish!
In the Sunday race, Ted started in 17th position and came in with a 13th place finish after a great jump at the start (see video) and a good battle during the race.
As always, a huge thank you goes out to Glenn, Sherise, Wendy, Karen, Greg Obadia, Gregg Downer, Mike Collins and Meathead Racing for their pit crew services!
