Weekend of Thunder brings back Trans-AM Championship for the second consecutive year, while Formula Lites will make their series debut at NJMP. A Trans Am Series race is 100 miles in length, and does not require a mandatory pit stop for fueling, tires or driver changes. As a sprint, it is driver versus driver, and that means its flatout racing from start to finish. Past Trans Am champions include Scott Pruett, Scott Sharp, and Boris Said. Formula Lites; The series is sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing. The SCCA Trans Am Series dates back to its first season in 1966. The Formula Lites series was created to provide an economical, technologically advanced race vehicle with an emphasis on safety, to give drivers the opportunity to develop their skills to progress into higher levels of open-wheel racing. The series, sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing is scheduled to launch at the end of 2014 at select events with a full schedule in 2015. The Formula Lites program aims at developing drivers interested in entering professional motorsports, including those who seek to make the leap from karting to open-wheel racing. Fidelity Power Systems Pro IT Series was conceived in late 2007 and kicked off in 2008 with great success. The Jersey Racing Board reasoning behind this series is to allow our drivers to have more track time during the weekend. There is always an opportunity to ‘double dip’ and race in at least 2 races per weekend.
