There is Still Plenty of Racing Left, this Labor Day Weekend, in Jersey

   Most weekends, in New Jersey, Saturday night brings us the final races of the weekend. This Labor Day weekend, that is certainly not the case, as we still have some pretty intense motorcycle racing going on Sunday, and even some more dirt racing on Monday.
  New Jersey Motorsports Park, located in Millville, continues it's AMA Championship weekend on Sunday. Action gets underway early, with practice sessions scheduled for 8:30 to 10:20am. Following an hour break for lunch, there will be a hot dog eating contest, a Hell on Wheels stunt show, a Fan Walk of the track with several of the day's competitors, and even a chance for fans to take to the track with their personal cars or motorcycles.
  The racing is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm with the first of four feature events, all the last of the year for the series, which will be holding it's awards banquet, Monday, in Atlantic City. First up is the Vance & Hines XR1200 race, followed by the Motorcycle Superstore.com SuperSport R2 race. The final two races of the day will be the Daytona SportBike, and National Guard SuperBike events, both 23 laps long on the very tricky road course.
  Besides all the great motorcycle racing, Sunday, at NJMP, there is also a South Jersey Derby Girls rollerderby exhibition, and several other stunt shows. This facility knows how to keep you entertained, between events. Sunday would make a great day to head down to this South Jersey facility and check it out. The weather is supposed to be good, and they will have you home in plenty of time for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race from Atlanta, later tonight.
  New Egypt Speedway takes advantage of the day off for many race fans, on Monday, to present it's Labor Day Romano Memorial race. Scheduled to get underway at 5pm, the night will feature an 84-lap main event for the Sportsman cars. The 305 Sprints will also be in competition.
  Spectator gates open at 2pm, with hot laps starting the night at 4pm. Adult admission is $20, children(12-15) $10, and kids 11 and under free.
  So don't just lay around the house for the rest of the weekend, waiting for racing to come on the television. Head down to NJMP on Sunday, and check out some great motorcycle racing in person, or get over to New Egypt on Monday to watch the Sportsman try to endure 84 grueling laps on the dirt, or better yet do both. The racing season is winding down, here in the Garden State, and you might want to get in as much racing as possible.
