New Jersey Motorsports Park lies on Dividing Creek Road in Millville, New Jersey, across more than 500 acres next to Millville Municipal Airport, a former US Air Force base from the Second World War. Racingcircuits.info records that the facility opened in 2008 and was built from 2007 for around 150 million dollars; behind the project stood property developer Lee Brahin along with Harvey Siegal, the owner of Virginia International Raceway, and sportscar racer RJ Valentine. The larger circuit, Thunderbolt, measures 2.25 miles (3.621 km), the second circuit, Lightning, 1.9 miles; the Tempest Raceway kart track completes the site. AMA Pro Superbike has raced here since 2009 and MotoAmerica as its successor, while the Grand Am Rolex series ran from 2008 to 2012. In 2011 the operator went through Chapter 11 proceedings and emerged restructured in July of the same year. The operator site lists track days, advanced track days and a Riders Club membership for riders, plus garages to rent, camping and food on site. Our record has this down as an asphalt circuit that is both fast and technical - a combination that pulls the chassis in two directions; racingcircuits.info calls Thunderbolt challenging and the shorter Lightning course technical. At high speed the geometry is the first thing to show itself: if the bike starts to weave down a straight, top of our cause list is a ride-height and sag balance with the rear sitting too high. Set sag first, before you suspect the steering head or the damper.
