Nascar Drivers Wanted - Training Available For Novices

Have you ever wanted to drive a Road Course? Drive your car Flat Out with no chance of a ticket? Find out what is like to drive a NASCAR high banked turn? Just looking for some seat time at a fast track? Or…………………..

If you wish to be a NASCAR driver for 2-days, get your self on our NASCAR driver’s list.


Those not racing on NASCAR’s most competitive tracks in the NE, you may still be able to join the ZGCA group at the Pocono NASCA Raceway CAR - CORRAL – A SUPER SWEET SPOT (SPORT) and participate in our other events, car shows, discussions on performance - 350Z and G35 , etc., etc…..to be announced.

If you sign up personally at our May 14 Cape Cod meet (check the site for more information).

The advance registration and meeting with you will help us plan for parking and your participation at the ZGCA RESERVED CAR – CORRAL



Click on picture for more detailed view

We will be using the Club Race Course (2.5 miles) both days. This is the same course we have used for the last two SCCA National Races. It is 2.5 mile road course, clockwise, with the natural bus stop chicane on the Longpond strait. This gives you a challenging infield road course with the Devils Bend, two high speed strait-a-ways, a bus stop chicane, with a second gear exit and one high banked turn. The two advanced run groups can expect more than two hours of track time.

Entry fee includes a Pig Roast party on Friday evening, all drivers and workers will get tickets and tickets will be on sale for guests at $20.00 each.

Only 25 novices(0 to 3 prior track days), 40 intermediates(4-8 track days) and 40 experienced (9 0r more days or hold club racing license). Per day.

Subject to change pending official announcement
Looking forward to seeing you at the Cape Cod – May 14 2005 BTW, you will see some of the competition at the NASCAR tracks; the super APS TT and us forgotten Super Charges.
