In early 2010, it was announced that Perry (NNJR SCCA/
Autox4u.com) had secured access to the new lot being constructed at the Meadowlands. It was going to be over 1 million square feet of pure awesome asphalt designated as Lot E for the stadium. This was the most incredible news for us because for many years NNJR SCCA only had access to the rather small lots at Englishtown (or the tight road course there). Finally, we would have a proper nationals-sized lot with high grip easily accessible from the tristate area. August 14, 2010 was supposed to be our first event on what would eventually become home turf for us. Unfortunately, some last minute construction woes prevented us from running at the big lot that day but they did give us access to the smaller adjacent lot which was paved with the same material. The surface was terrific as we expected and we got a taste of what was to come. This was my first event after Evo Phase 1 and as what happens to everyone that takes this school, I found myself coning almost every run as I worked to get closer to the cones. This isn't a bad thing. After all, if you aren't hitting cones, you probably aren't trying hard enough. I think I got one clean run in with the video below.

First event @ Meadowlands, NJ
Coincidentally this guy (Palsomedia) was there making a video of this event with a proper camera and audio equipment which was pretty sweet even though Bumblestook didn't make the cut.
