SCROLL DOWN FOR FULL EVENT INFORMATION
You will need a MotorsportReg account to register. If you don’t have one, you can create one at any time. Just go back to the previous main page and click on the “Create Account” tab above the event list. Then return to the event page and click on the event to register.
No refunds after July 18; no event credits in MotorsportReg will be issued after Aug 1.
Final assignments to run groups will be made by the event staff.
NSTRUCTORS: For instructors that have not used MotorsportReg before, (and those with MSR accounts but have not instructed with NNJR before), the system defaults to "attendee" status. After setting up your account and before you register, please send an email to the event Registrar with your qualifications and copy your Chief Instructor who can attest to your instructor status. The Registrar will then update your account to be able to register as an instructor. Craig Mahon, Registrar, Email: trackregistrar@nnjr-pca.com
STUDENTS: Groups (Green, Yellow and Blue) are kept artificially low in number to ensure we have sufficient instructors. You may be initially waitlisted, but sign up anyway. Students will be accepted as instructors sign up. Do not sign up for another group just to avoid being waitlisted.
If you are wait-listed, please check your status frequently, as the Registrar will move you off of the wait list as spots open up. With few exceptions, everyone who registers on Day 1 eventually gets accepted, just be patient.
Note that Watkins Glen garage rentals will be handled as a separate registration Use this link. WG1 Garage Registration 2025
