The $13K Lap Dance
Record $13,000 in purse and contingency up for grabs in X Attack Time Attack
- Sanctioned by Redline Time Attack
- $13,000 purse/contingency largest ever
- Modified and Street categories
- FWD, RWD, and AWD classes
- Atlantic Championship and Star Mazda races
Millville,
NJ – Run the quickest lap time and win up to $2,500. That is the simple
challenge that competitors in the X Attack time attack will be charged
with this Sept 13-14 at the Formula X event hosted by the all-new,
world-class New Jersey Motorsports Park.
In total, over
$13,000 has been offered to date for competitors – spread between two
categories (Modified and Street per Redline Time Attack rules and
regulations), with three classifications each (AWD, RWD, FWD).
Each
Modified class (AWD, RWD, FWD) winner will take home a $1,500 category
payout. Mazda then ups the ante with an additional $1,000 check for
Mazda-based competitors who win their class. With limited spaces, two
days of track time, and only a $400 registration fee – the competitor
list is expected to fill very quickly.
The Street
Category field is expected to be filled even faster. With a $250
registration fee, Street category competitors will have a shot at
winning a $1,000 prize per class (AWD, RWD, FWD). Mazda sponsorship
again bumps the potential haul to $2,000 per class winner should the
winner be a Mazda-based competitor.
Besides a limited
amount of entries, the other thing standing in the way to a big payout
for competitors is NJMP’s challenging 14-turn, 2.25 mile Thunderbolt
course - it’s a mint, newly paved track that is already being called
the “monster of the northeast”.
In addition, spectators
and participants will also be treated to front seat racing by the top
national drivers in both the Atlantic Championship and Star Mazda
Championship race series – two of the nation’s premier open wheel
development series. Atlantic Championship race cars are considered the
last step for developing racers before moving onto an Indy Car or even
Formula One ride. The state-of-the-art carbon chassis Atlantics feature
2.3 L Mazda-Cosworth four-cylinder engines cranking out 300
naturally-aspirated horsepower. As another member of Mazda’s
unparalleled Motorsports development ladder, the Star Mazda
Championship also features Mazda motivation in their carbon chassis
open wheel racers – in fact, the same 240 hp Renesis rotary engine
found in the Mazda RX-8 sports car.
As well, a Formula
X import and domestic car show will offer over four-dozen trophies up
for grabs, as well as cash prizes totaling $3,000. NCCA points
accreditation and sanctioning will mean that NCCA competitors will be
able to score points toward year-end NCCA championships.
Located
just 45 miles from Philadelphia, 45 miles from Atlantic City, NJ, and
161 miles from Washington, D.C., New Jersey Motorsports Park is the
long awaited world class racing facility the northeast has been looking
for. NJMP is comprised of two separate race courses, a go kart track, a
Motorsports country club, and even trackside Motorsports villas. After
a busy year in construction, NJMP officially opened in July of this
year.
