Join the fun with The Jersey Lawn Sprints ( Weather Permitting )
It's a cross between a stroll in a rose garden and the Baja 1000.
The Jersey Lawn Sprints is a unique Mercedes Club event held during the Mid-Atlantic Picnic at Falkenhorst in Hopewell, New Jersey.
After the convivial repast and the amiable people's choice car show, a gaggle of competitive enthusiasts take the back 20 acres at the farm and run their starships around a course marked out with traffic cones.
This autocross takes place on the lawn, with participants running the course, one car at a time, against the stopwatch. Driving on grass with a street-legal Mercedes is a hoot, but it also takes a certain finesse unrelated to pedal-to-the-metal brute force.
One year, the fastest time award went to a 60-year-old Mercedes riding on skinny bias ply tires with a physicist behind the wheel. Could you give this event a try? It is run on an unobstructed field, and ham-fisted attempts to attain high speed are rewarded by wheel spin and dust—the Jersey Lawn Sprints: a safe and jolly diversion.
Please let us know if you will be attending.
