I would say its a possibility, but not a strong one. The rumors go around every year, and that family is sitting on a permanent retirement fund, but I haven't heard any real information other than rumors, so I won't call it either way until I hear from the Knapps.
If they did sell the track, it would probably NOT be good business for Island or Atco. Yes, we would get the customers, but it would serve as a model as to how the other towns could over run the tracks.
btw, all of nj tracks are nhra sanctioned. Atco is the only one who has switched around a few times, but they have been NHRA for quite a few years again and Island has been for at least 20 years.
