Effective immediately, it's on the site.
Totally disgusting the way it was handled . I have competed there the last couple of years in their index program and was looking forward to doing so this year. Here's a picture from the last 11.50 index points race, the car in the other lane is being driven by the now X office manager for Raceway ParkEffective immediately, it's on the site.
This is largely a incorrect assumption. Drag racing is down. Costs are up, someone came in and offered the family a deal dollar wise that was to good to pass up. The track was not profitable. It was able to stay open due to the other motorcycle, dirt tracks on the property. The drag strip by itself could not have stayed open onits own.Yup...they're still doing all other events (swap meet, car shows, motorcycle hills, mud trucks)etc. My feeling is that this was the end of the line after all the people bought up cheap properties and built communities (similar to those buying houses near an airport) and then complain about the noise (quality of life) blah blah blah...
Or Island in Hope N.J., Maple Grove?Atco ... here we come
This si NOT the case. Read above.People are morons. Seen tracks closed because of noise. Don't build your house by a race track idiot if you don't like noise. Why do these people always win.
This is NOT the case, read above please.Cause there is more money in taxing 400 new houses. Thats how the township sees it.
Please read above. Thanks.The same thing happened to Old Dominion Raceway in Manassas, Virginia. Known as the oldest track on the East Coast. Condo's were up DAYS after closure. A neighborhood blog rejoiced and complained days on end about the noise. I guess if you buy property near a drag strip, eventually you will succeed in closing it down.
Eventually, the millenials will succeed and drag racing, classic car enthusiasm will be a crime.
Come to Island !!! what do you want to know about the place? been racing there for over 30 years.Or Island in Hope N.J., Maple Grove?
