is island done? HELL NO IT ISN'T!!

[heavy_chevy29]

im not trying to stir the pot, but if island is in need of help i would gladly do my part. there's a lot of **** talking on the bullet. i hope its all hear say. i don't want to drive 2 hours to atco every weekend. hopefully some one can put the rumors to rest. i love running at this track and it would be a real shame to see it close.

Not surprised

[coolmanvette75]

If its true, its unfortunate, but again not surprising...

[heavy_chevy29]

hate to admit it but its looking like a sad day.

[V]

i could call a friend and ask. but im sure she's getting enough calls and texts as it is so im not gonna add to that. and, her fb page hasn't addressed it yet.

[NastyEllEssWon]

eh when it comes to legal issues and tax issues i wouldnt be surprised if theyre kept very tight lipped about it. sucks to see a track get shut down...especially due to personal vendettas and mismanagement (rumors).

[heavy_chevy29]

last time i talked the her she seemed pretty detached from the family drama. only time will tell. we will have to wait untill 2013 to see what happens

[LTb1ow]

If it is true, Etown will race prices and cut you off after one pass.

[The_Bishop]

Man, I hope not. That would royally suck. Hopefully this is just yip-yaps on YB starting stupid rumors.

It would more or less mean the end of drag racing for me, because #^@& E-town. Atco is 2+ hours away.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU....

What the hell happened?!?!

[Mike]

Moved to the racers lounge, tech forum rules now apply, let's keep it civil and clutter free.

Regardless of people's feelings towards island, their opinions, or what they think they know, any racetrack that closes is a very bad thing for the sport, and the automotive hobby in this area

[LTb1ow]

If they closed due to tax/personal/whatever reasons short of the general population around them wanting the track gone, I assume the property can be bought and reopened as a track?

[deadtrend1]

Some of the local population didn't even know the track was there.

[Mike]

I have heard in the past that due to changes in zoning and whatnot in the town, that if the track changes hands it can no longer be a racetrack

No idea the truth in that though

Thats good for the track's future are perhaps staying a track. If etown were to ever close, they would have that strip out of there so fast.

[The_Bishop]

No kidding. Looks like I'm done drag racing for all intents and purposes. I had a hard time making time to get to Island, no way I'm going to drive over an hour to wait 6+ hours for maybe three runs at E-town, and 2+hours one way to Atco? Also, just driving to the track would be out, too. If I break my stock rear I don't even want to daydream what the towing bill would be to get home.

This is just bad all around.

I've done my share of racing their and have been going their since I was a kid with my dad. My dad used to drag race their with his 67 Plymouth GTX. It's terrible if it closes but noone has said where the rumor even started. I haven't heard a thing. The website is set up for next season like nothing is wrong. Could just be a rumor. Does anyone know the actual truth?

[omarcamaro]

a friend of mine keeps his car at island and knows the family the track is not closing

Strange considering other people with stuff there were told to come get it

[mc73nova]

As of now they are all rumors, no one really knows except the parties involved. It is a shame if they shut down, some people that don't race on Saturday's(points days) wouldn't know that it is like a home away from home, one big family.

[Dudbird113]

That sucks, etown is only open for test n tune because of the ricers rumor has it. If local tracks close then that leads to more street racing.(not saying its a bad thing haha)

Time for a reminder on NJFBOA's stance on street racing

• Nothing illegal
- No discussions advocating street racing, use of illegal drugs, stories of underage drinking, etc.

The loss of any NJ track is a bad thing.

Is it now a superfund site..?

Englishtown was pretty close to getting shut down a few years ago - nearby residents were complaining about the noise from their $800k mcmansions. At least the housing market crashed so that has been pushed a few years out at the minimum due to still open space and the fact that they pay a lot of taxes to the town and state.

I want all of you to be aware of how lucky we are here in NJ, we have three 1/4 mile tracks here in a small state with less than average per capita drag racers - if Island survives. In the 20+ million population of LA, all the tracks have been closed - either sprawl or ass clown neighbors have killed them all. And considering that is where hot rodding started over 60 years ago, that is a travesty. So guess what, street racing is heading through the roof because there are no alternatives.

I never liked Island - it's a misfit track that is more something you might find behind a corn field out in the midwest, but it's the idea that counts - a sanctioned place to race.

[coolmanvette75]

They can complain all they want. Fact is that track was there before any of the houses. They built and bought them with the track already there. Not the tracks fault that they were sold their houses during the winter. Lol

East windsor raceway closed due to housing around it

No the house owners are the naive ones. Its like buying a house next to an airport and then trying to get it shut down because its too loud. You know its there, so live somewhere else if you cant deal with it. They all knew the track was there. Kinda hard to miss it. If you don't like the noise you shouldn't have moved there in the first place...

Its sad if its true. I went there all the time. Tried going on their website to se if there's anything on there about it but it says the websites down everytime I try. My thing is you don't know what to believe. Everywhere I try to find out about it the info is on some kind of forum.

[Troy]

Ouch...hopefully they can ride out this economy

[spina74]

Don't quote me on this, but if i recall a few years ago rumors were floating around that contractors wanted to build homes close to atco raceway and were trying to get them shut down as well.

About Island? They owe feds money and the epa is on their ass. Once January 1st rolls around a lock will be placed on the gate and the property will be seized. Newest rumor has it that there might be a few parties interested in purchasing the property before this happens. Keep an eye on the YellowBullet thread. You gotta sort through a ton of ******** posts but there is good info to be had there. Many people posting in there are directly connected with the track owners and the interested parties possibly looking to buy it...

Ever heard of Flemington Speedway?

Municipalities care more about tax money and being able to charge more of it than they do about a race track.

Ding ding ding! That is the correct answer. Munis make more from homeowners, businesses than they would the track. If there is opportunity to build more homes/businesses which would bring in more tax revenue, they will do it. As for Island, I have no impression of how the locals or muni feels about the track.

[Paul Huryk]

Problem is that the 300 or more houses that could be built on a lot like Raceway park or Island (if they were converted to residential lots) would be in the millions per year - maybe RP pays a good amount in property and sales taxes, but Island sure doesn't.

When enough people complain, things happen and that is a fact of life.

I mentioned LA earlier in the thread for a reason - that being a movement toward eliminating any sort of outlying non-residential, minimal tax generating properties. You can even throw farms on that list because they don't generate hardly any property taxes; so if NJ tracks go extinct, don't expect a new one to pop up somewhere out of a huge open field out in the sticks.

Flemington Speedway - remember going there quite a bit when I was younger before they closed...

Towns can and do use just about any means to close down unwanted businesses - EPA, illegal stuff, criminal activity, lawsuits, imminent domain - name it and they do it. As long as a court sides with them, it goes through.

From what I just read on Facebook, written by a person closer to Island than anyone here so far or on YB, its not a closed matter as of yet.

A lot of farms in our area are preserved farmland/green acres. They are purchased by the municipalities and property owners pay for their taxes or something like that.

You would never see that for a racetrack.

And FWIW, here's another that went away long ago- Flemington Dragway:

RP is in Englishtown section of Old bridge township McMansions that complain are Manalapan Right next door different township. RP has done awesome job making sound deflecting walls and abiding to all issues complaints, including curfews. I worked at E town for a few years know most everyone there. They have solid good responsible owners please no rumors regarding E town.

As for Island I do not know anything, but there is just something cool about a throwback track that looks like it doesn't fit. If they do make it I will pay them a visit in the spring to boost their ticket sales by a couple. The racing community needs these tracks.

No rumors, my man - it was a big deal a few years ago and even landed on the front page of the Star Ledger. But the good news is that the problems have subsided and as long as the town knows they are following the rules, most complaints will end up in deaf ears...

There are lots of rumors and they are still working on it. Despite all the threads and articles written about it, it isn't dead yet. The track manager is the source of this topic being started so I wouldn't believe anything written referring back to management. Unless it comes directly from the owners, we should all have hope.

If i still had melissa's number i'd give her a shout, any of you guys talk to her recently?, i know after her family situation went down she kind of distanced herself, but its still in the family

[Mezzy]

Hey Guys, I just received official news from a very reliable source that Island Dragway has officially closed for good permanently. Island had their permit revoked for EPA and Tax reasons. Hot Rod magazine also confirmed it saying their website is down, and their voicemail says " It was nice having you race with us". They also say they are giving refunds to vendors. Sad day for all racers.

[Mezzy]

Apparently there ar several factors causing the closing. The import show that closed hackettstown and independence due to way to many people coming backed up rt 80. State police were furious. That certainly didn't help. Also the family refuses to pay taxes is what a strong source told me

[Tru2Chevy]

besides englishtown and atco whats the next closest tracks?

[WildBillyT]

Depending on your location, Maple Grove.

[L695speed]

Your local Airstrip? LOL.

Anyway in all seriousness, I think all the Long Island tracks were shut down, there are a couple in Upstate NY, and a couple out in PA, but E town is one of the closest ones now. Still an hour and a lil from me. Out in PA you have Maple Grove and Beaver Springs. There is also Lebanon Valley up in NY.

Here is a list of more places to run. It also says whether are 1/4 or 1/8 mile tracks.

[deadtrend1]

Cecil is another

[91FBirdDropTop]

e town dropped there wednesday test n tune to $20 bucks. thats pretty good

R.I.P ISLAND DRAGWAY

whats even making it more of a bummer for me is that i just bought a house 15 min drive away from island and i used to be an hour away. i had planned on stopping by the dragstrip a couple times a month just to watch some cars tearing up the pavement. i guess not now though.

Same here. Figures that the year the Nova is truly road worthy the track right up 31 closes down.

[V]

the owners of island have not thrown in the towel just yet.

Basically, the track is still there. land isn't sold. nothing torn down etc. Even if it remains closed throughout this year, that does not mean it can never open back up perhaps in a year or two(once issues are resolved)

one comment i heard which i will pass on that(i am para-phrasing since it was a while ago) "many have offered support for island through time and or financial however nothing has actually been put or giving forward yet. Once there is a plan or way to assist, that will be made know"

the njfboa OGs and Rutgers Bbq'ers should know where the valid info comes from.

I was told by one of the weekly bracket racers who is a friend of the family that Island will be opening back up. He said they haven't figured out when but they are working on it. Only other thing I really remember hearing was they will have to get rid of the bathrooms and go to out houses.

I know not everyone is into drag racing but I would think we are all here because we have a passion for cars. This is just one form of us being able to show that passion.

This is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

[sweetbmxrider]

Would be cool if we all pooled together on here to sponsor the track for the year and have a BOA board or whatever they do. I'd put money towards that.

[The_Bishop]

I'll second that idea.

[grazi]

I just got an advertising packet for sponsoring island because I was thinking about putting a small banner for my business there. If the admin is serious about sponsoring there, I can forward the email from them with the prices. Some of them are only 300.00, I would put in $10.00 or $20.00 towards it if it gives the club some more exposure.

[ThoR294]

I'd throw money in for a banner there

[The_Bishop]

Same here.

[grazi]

The economical choices are on the entrance gate, burnout box wall guardrail and staging lanes and the banners are 4'x 8' except guardrail are 2'x8' or 2'x16'. We would have to supply the banner. I can post up prices of each item another time if enough people show interest to do it.

[sweetbmxrider]

Thanks for the info. Maybe one of the mods or admins can throw a thread about it together with the info you supplied when they have some free time.

[WSex]

id throw some money towards the banner

[BonzoHansen]

Yes we want to buy a banner or something. We'll get it up by the weekend. I think/hope Nick will quarterback it. And have a club meet there in September

[L695speed]

Friend of mine told me they'll be open on July 5th 6th 7th, or whatever that weekend is. Friday through Sunday, I'd get down there and support them by running maybe Friday night with the daily driver, maybe Saturday if I can swing it with the GTA.

If the admin is serious about sponsoring there, I can forward the email from them with the prices. Some of them are only 300.00, I would put in $10.00 or $20.00 towards it if it gives the club some more exposure.

I'd throw money in for a banner there

Same here.

id throw some money towards the banner

Yes we want to buy a banner or something. We'll get it up by the weekend. I think/hope Nick will quarterback it. And have a club meet there in September
