teh rumors of etown selling out go around every year. fact is that the place makes millions of dollars of profit without hardly any real effort from those who run it.
wanna know how much cash they rake in? in the time from teh season openign to some time between the spring swap meet and when the pros visit, the track makes enough money to cover all operating expenses for the whoel facility for the rest of the year. so sometime in may/early june they coudl stop charging admission and still break even.
etown as a facility is amazing. certainly not the fastest track around(that would be atco), but they have more to offer than any other track in jersey.
my problem is with the management. the track was founded and run for decades by racing enthusaists (much the way atco and island still are today). now it is run by a few business men and the sons of the foudners who don't race or semm to particularly care much about racing other than the money it pays them.
