SCCA-NNJR New September Solo Date Announced!

"Crew Chief"

By Linda Santangelo-Mosley, RE

Stories, Past and Present, from our Northern NJ Region. In 1990, the RE was Walter Huber and the Assistant RE was Diane Miller. On December 1, 1990, they held the NNJR Annual Dinner Dance at the Skylands Manor, Route 10, Randolph, NJ. The Holiday Party featured “The Best Rock ’N’ Roll Band - Blue Sparks.” Cocktails from 7:00-7:30pm, Dinner at 7:30pm and Dancing until Midnight. The evening’s activities included a slide show of NNJR Solo, Rally, Racing, door prizes and raffles. The sit-down dinner included a choice of Chicken Cordon Bleu or Chateaubriand at a price of $25 per attendee. RSVP’s were sent to Diane Henderson.


In 2024, we are planning to host a Holiday Party again, a tradition that has been on hold for the past few years. We are looking at options for venues and we will keep everyone posted on the planning process. Feel free to send suggestions on dates and locations for the Holiday Party to me at re@scca-nnjr.com.

Pitt Race hosted a race weekend August 24th and 25th at Beaver Falls, PA, the hometown of Joe Namath - Go Jets! This was the 7th race weekend in the Northeast Division Road Racing Series chaired by Chris Mosley with double race points available. It was a busy weekend with karting, time trials, driver school and road racing. A food truck provided delicious BBQ- a fun time was had by all!


On Wednesday August 21st, SCCA President Mike Cobb provided an update in an 8pm Zoom call. A variety of topics were covered including financial and membership performance, an update on all SCCA’s motorsports programs, upcoming Championship Season and an overall status of the Club. A recording is available on the SCCA website.
