Re: Englistown closed

We're really blessed here in Ohio. I don't know how we get to be so fortunate. There are easily five 1/4 mile tracks within an hour or so of me and they are good tracks. Plus a couple 1/8th milers. Even more if you throw in another hour. Tracks like Summit Raceway Park which is getting a new track this off season, a totally rebuilt and still improving Dragway 42, a stabilized and improving Quaker City, Thompson, etc.

California, the birthplace of organized drag racing - those guys drive forever to get to a track. Now, Englishtown.

If I could I would return to yesterday. Progress sucks. I long for the days of no internet etc. They’re probably going to build a strip mall or a housing complex there. I feel your pain.

Very sad day in the NY, NJ area. Englishtown (i.e. Raceway Park) is shutting down drag racing after 52 years. We used to go to the NHRA Summernationals every year. Our favorite day of the year. Sucks big.
