Big bold words stated in this article. Brian Lohnes is a big name in racing reporting and i have to trust he wouldn't be spreading BS around. Holly cow this is not good news. |

It's official. Englishtown will no longer have drag racing. Sad. This sucks.

all these years you thought the town & the new neighbors woudl push them out. Not just what appears to be a sheer money decision.
|
I will add....hope for the future can be held onto since it appears the will be keeping the infrastructure in place.
|
I know I will never see it but I would be curious to see how the financials panned out for the drag racing side of the business. I can image a facility like this has some fairly significant running costs even on a test and tune night.
Guess we should all become drifters now. |
I live 4.2 miles from Island so my racing plans are unaffected :bertstare:
That does suck though, anytime a major facet of the local sport and history is shut down. |

Island should reap the benefits with every test n tuner for miles. Some other tracks will absorb some and some will just sell or tuck their cars away. Sad, very sad |
Maybe they will do no prep events at the airport. Or #AtcoFTW
|
An icon is going away. Just sucks.
|
I wonder if the traffic form the new usage will be better or worse for the locals.

Sick of the neighbors and a reasonable way to make money. |
I remember racing my new 1967 GTO when the track first opened. Not much was paved and it was pretty much open. I have pictures of some of my cars with the ONE STORY racing tower. I knew Vinnie and then his sons also. It was a shock to learn that another tract of land may someday soon belong to the Real Estate WORLD and another landmark will become "I remember WHEN".:facepalm:
