I believe that what's taking place is that they're going to lease part of the property to some Auction Company that's going to stockpile Insurance cars for auction, so now Old Bridge is going to have a ****box junkyard. I live in Old Bridge and now I could just see my taxes going up, they aren't bad enough, going to be even worse, and a lot of businesses in town are going to suffer, but I guess the owners just want to sit back and let the money roll in. I bet Vinnie and Richard are rolling in their graves now

Some of us older types might remember pulling into NY Nat'l in 1979? 80? and driving past the foundations to future housing development on the property.

It is true. Very sad day

Re: Englishtown Closed To Drags
 

I can almost understand giving up the continuous fight to keep the dragstrip open , but I am amazed that they will continue with the drift track which in my eyes is obnoxious beyond belief with constant noise and ridiculous amounts of smoke for hours on end.
I guess the Napp's see that as the future of Motorsports.

Re: Englishtown Closed To Drags
 

I agree with both of you Tom, and Ed. Leasing the property brings in big, steady income without a fight. Years of noise complaints, legal battles and tight curfews finally made them say "to hell with it". Its sad, and annoying but I cant say I'm shocked.

Run 2 at Epping or Maple Grove, like Charlotte. Area tracks should benefit from local programs, as well.

I'm for 2 at the Grove or a National @ Richmond

We are fighting to find a location for a track on Long Island, hopefully one day, over 16,000 members still trying to find a piece of land

Where is (was) the Local Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Board, Restuarant-Motel owners association? These entities should be our friends, advocates.....housing cars do not spend money as we do....I make it a point to mention to the motel/eateries, etc that I am spending $ with them as I attend to local track....
