It's a business decision. The track (like any other business) has to make money. Like layoffs and down sizing a sign of the times. Perhaps this was the tracks best "bad" option.

What about Wednesday nights? They're still there. It's not like it's weekend only.

coolmanvette75 02-28-2012 10:42 AM

Cause Wed. nights are fulled with gamblers and every other week, bracket races...

Anti_Rice_Guy 02-28-2012 12:05 PM

You don't go to Etown with the mindset of getting many runs in so I don't understand the problem. If you wanted to get more runs you'd have gone to Atco or Island before this change, and after this change. People would go to etown for proximity or track prep.

coolmanvette75 02-28-2012 01:43 PM

That is true. They only reason I even still go there is because its 5 mins away and I know a lot of people that work there. Otherwise I would go to Atco. Hard to beat $15 test and tunes there...

friday night test n tunes was a nice way to kick off a weekend.

You can't beat Island for TNT. Esp those Wed deals they have.

Friday nights consisted of 8.5, 10.0, 11.5 Index and T&T.
The majority of the 8.5 Index racers wanted to move to Sundays from Friday nights. Englishtown decided to move the remaining Index classes to Sundays as well, therefore Fridays nights were completely eliminated.

Cause this is a NJ board, and its already a pain to drive to middle of nowhere atco or island.
