I am truly sorry to hear that about Englishtown. Always wanted to make a pass or two on that Iconic track...

Funny you mentioned what all this... E-town got a taste of car storage money during Superstorm Sandy for the same reasons. And now a company based out of Texas named Copart is leasing the property for what seems to be an obscene amount of money to store cars for auctions. Drag racing times are really tough right now so if this keeps them a float and maybe some day it reopens then so be it. I have 2 other tracks in NJ to go to but E-town was my favorite recently. In the closing of E-town we actually lose 2 drag strips, they had a 1/4 mile and an 1/8 mile track operating simultaneously. Locally we need to support the tracks we have left.
