Topic: Bill from NJMP

We crashed at NJMP and apparently a piece of armco needed to be replaced.   Apparently the track billed Lemons for the damage and that bill has been passed on to me.  Is this a common practice?  It was right after the turn onto the straight.  I know a few other people here crashed here, has anyone else gotten bills?

I have no problem paying it I just want to make sure that is a known practice.

I have heard this is done at many tracks, but this is the first I've heard about it at a Lemons event.

Happening more and more.  I know that Barber charges for track damage - and that gets passed onto the offending car, if they can find them.
I've got no problem with it.  It should be expensive to hit stuff...

In the writeup behind that, it sounded like the guy who bent up and assembled the cage for them was adamant that no humans take the ride or he'd walk.  Can't say I blame him.  Mounts were welded to the car then everything tack welded together, then ground off, then taped together

+1.  First I heard of it at a Lemons event.

I know VIR charges our HPDE club for damages at our events, and we in turn pass it on to the offender.  Had a buddy who hit the wall at VIR and had to "by a piece" (Armco) and he said is was like $1800.  He demanded they give him the damaged piece since he paid for it!

They are charging $390 for the damage.

Sounds like a steal!  At VIR they only replace full sections so they charge for the full piece and the labor to install it.

Re: Bill from NJMP

NJMP charged me for track clean-up when I blew my engine and oiled it down during practice on friday a few years ago.   Not sure about during the Lemons events though,

Re: Bill from NJMP

Wow $390 is cheap.  This is completely normal at NJMP.  One of my teammates owns a $2000 section of armco on Lightning turn 1 after his front rotor exploded on his Corvette braking from well over 100 mph.

Well, can you hardly blame them when they had to use 20 bags of oil dry?

Re: Bill from NJMP

Yeah, $390 is a downright steal. Glad you're OK, most of all.

I'm kind of not surprised NJMP would charge for damage. That track is super nice.
