Our Roots by Charter Member - Ken Eicher and oldest continuous member John Groot

With the introduction of the Mustang in 1965, Ford developed a program of Mustang Clubs around the United States to promote all types of Family oriented motorsports Activity. MCNJ started as the Mustang Club of North Jersey and may have been spun off from the Mustang Club of Fort Lee. Some of our original members were Ken Eicher, Brad Arch, Dave & Janice Phillips. Al Crowley and his wife.

I was not a Charter Member but joined shortly afterward with my late wife Joyce. Some other early members were Bob Ward, Paula Marchesani, Janice Chaplin, Ernie and Vi Bohler and several others. Our club's specialty was non-TSD road rallies which we called Rallyes. Often over 100 cars would thake part in our events.

When Ford withdrew sponsorship, the Mustang Club of North Jersey changed its name to The Motorsport Club of North Jersey (MCNJ), and a new club was born emphasizing the desire to include all brands of vehicles in the sport.

Our club is one of the oldest continuously operating in the state and although, following our Mustang Club tradition, we specialize in non-TSD Rallyes, often called gimmick or fun rallyes, we have in the past put on TSDs, Funkhanas, and even Desk Rallyes. There's a lot of experience, history and fun at MCNJ.
