I might just take you up on that. I am the event chair for MSNE, so I usually spend most of the time setting up, problem solving, dealing with idiots, or covering timing and scoring. I haven't really enjoyed an event in some time. Occasionally I go to an SCCA event in Englishtown. They are always well run. Maybe I will try the Colosseum.

I was in the same boat when I took over our region as Autocross Chief, Novice Chief, Pre-registration Chief, Registration Chief, and Worker Chief. I just didn't enjoy it anymore - not burnt out, but just dealing with all the issues that surrounded our events. I mean come on people some of these people have been doing this longer than I have been alive but they still need someone to take charge and direct.
This is why I loved attending other regions, so I could just sit back, autocross, and maybe work a station.

I know what you mean about just sitting back, autocrossing and shagging cones for a single heat. We have a large team of extremely knowledgeable and capable people and the event usually runs itself with just a little direction, but I still find myself completely drained by the end of the day. I walked the course for the first time in three years at our last event.

The next event is in July, but I'll keep you updated if you're truly interested.
Please do.
I made it out to Giant's Stadium with the M Club in 2004 with my 00 Civic Si (I believe) and 2005 with my 91 Civic Si.
Yeah, MotorsportsNE is a merger of the Nasa Northeast Nasa-X program and the M Club. I like to think we merged the best of both worlds, despite some remaining challenges: A mix of high-speed and technical courses with a fair degree of elevation change; typically eight timed runs plus a practice run and parade lap; Nasa-X's more relaxed and friendlier environment; and easy points-based classing structure. I think if there is a downside to MSNE it is the dwindling Sunday Giants Stadium dates, the chunky pavement and a few personality conflicts that just haven't worked themselves out yet.
I'm surprised to hear that NYR is allowing passengers. We don't allow them (except instructors) and we tend to be much more relaxed than SCCA, IMHO.

I'll drop you a PM if I plan on attending any NYR or NNJR SCCA weekend events. I am running the MSNE event this Friday, but I don't know if I will be driving. I am usually at all the MSNE events.
