Englishtown has a road track, but I dont know what is going on with it. Its been built since 2002, and I have yet to hear anyone drive on it. Only time I saw cars on it was when MM&FF did a 03 Cobra vs 02 SS fight at Etown.

Lots of people on here will prolly recommend trying autocross before going to open track events.

that track has not and likely will not ever open. it is too close to the road and there is a bunch of BS from the township they are dealing with.

You must have a snell sa 2000 or "M"rated helmet (a bell sprint is about 160$ online)
You register and pay 240$
You show up that morning and pass tech (basic safety check, see attached)
A morning classroom session is followed by groups going out with an instructer in your car. After a few sessions the instructer may cut you loose to lap on your own.
Sessions will be divided into groups based on experience/car type, you will get about two hours track time over the course of the day.
It is a tight road couse with a short 100+ mph straight section.It will be faster than an autocross but the emphasis is on cornering, not W.O.T. There is room to go off in the dirt and get back on without a loud crashing sound.Passing will be restricted to straightaways. Anyone who acts like they are on the bumper cars on coney island will be ejected.
I still want to meet at an autocross before this event, but no dates have been announced yet.
For more info or to make a deposit go on www.pdadrivingschool.com or call 973 253 3900, you can also email me at vanzuuk1@verizon.net., or call me 914 747 nine four four seven.
No word on wether car craft will cover the event, if only we knew someone who worked at a magazine... |
Seen this yet?

Def Try autocross first very slim chance of wadding the car into a big mess.the m-club is having a test and tune 3/12 usally a big course 50 seconds or more. Cheak out autox4u.com complete schedule for autocross and open trak days for the east coast. If its your first time just go and have fun dont worry how slow you are.
