Welcome to what we have to deal with in CA. Tracks are shutting down left and right out here and we only had a few to start with

The township has granted approval for a developer to build houses directly abutting the Raceway Park property. It's amazing...I hate this state - it's time to move on... Bad news for Raceway Park

This reminds me of people bitching about airports, starting with Luke Air Force Base outside of Phoenix. When these places were built they were built in the middle of no place so that no one would be bothered by the noise. Now that houses have been built right next to them...... Too bad. You knew that the house was right next to an airport / airbase / raceway, and you knew there would be noise. Get over it.
I used to go to Englishtown when I was a little kid. Would be a shame to have it shut down because people are stupid. |

It’s a **** shame losing or potentially losing E-town, Atco and Island will probably be next.
We just relocated from the armpit Metro NY area and while packing I found my late fathers handwritten timeslips from 65-66-67 at E-town. I almost cried thinking about it. It used to be farm country in Old Bridge but, now it is just part of the big smelly disgusting NY sprawl. Nothing but F”ing soccer moms and there loser “wont someone think of the children” husbands building next to Englishtown. I mean what do you think idiot It has been there for almost 40 years and it’s a dragstrip. |

NJ Racetrack Problems
This is a SAD issue and requires all racers and/or fans that visit these facilities to voice their response on this as I have. If we the racers or fans do not do our part to put a stop to it, the only place left to race? will be on the street, and that is NOT where we should be. One point that I tried making with them is that the township where I am Chairman of that Planning Commission, requires all developers to add a clause to all plans basically stating that "the township is predominantly a rural farming community and residents may on occasions smell odors from farm animals . . . etc." This gives the township teeth to stop any complaints from residents in a new development when a farmer spreads a load of manure in a field or someone hears a rooster crowing at 4:30 in the morning. The same issues goes for race tracks; if ya wanna live next door to a race track, you must expect noise coming from it when they are in operation. What this boils down to is a small handful of individuals trying to take peoples rights, just for the almighty dollar and a developer. If you enjoy the sport as I do, give these tracks your support. These issues need to be addressed and stopped now or the ripple effect will hurt all of us in the long run elsewhere too. Thanks in advance...

Sad to read this post today and to know that E-town did close its drag race operations down this year and sounds like they are shut down for good. Still keeping hope alive for Island Dragway & for Atco to stay open.
