Re: ISLAND DRAG-WAY..Hackettstown NJ-Good news.
 

Island Drag-way is terrific historical track.

Been there many times and a beautiful peaceful ride.
My Avatar shows my Impala SS launching off the starting line last year.

Sure hope what they want to do works.

Speaking for myself Island Drag-way seemed to treat everyone well.
The loved our ECIRS Club racing.
Always helped accommodate us to run a second make up race.
In fact our ISSCA Nationals Drag Race was held there.
Where more than a 100 B-Bodies competed.

It does need a good cleaning and sprucing up.
Sure wish the burnout box was about 20 feet longer.

Go Island !

And I wish they could buy out the guy at the end and extend the shutdown distance. I was there last year and snoozed a bit after crossing the finish and almost ended up in that guys garage. My fault but Numida or Cecil County give you miles to slow down. Island is tight.

Agreed..not a place to run todays' 8(soon 7 ? ) sec. CJ "stockers"...heads up.

I ran a 10 sec 130 mph Camaro with drum brakes( '79) and ..made the last turn almost as fast.

Re: ISLAND DRAG-WAY..Hackettstown NJ-Good news.
 

I ain't no island cheerleader but some of these statements are nothing but nonsense. I ran my Firebird that that I slow to run 9.0x, every week during the 2009 and 2010 season and I had no problem stopping from 149 MPH. Prior to it, I ran my low 10 second Chevelle there for decades which had factory single piston disc brakes upfront and drum brakes in the rear and I had no problem stopping this nearly 2 ton ride from as fast as 135 MPH.

Oh, and the guy at the end of the track ain't ever going to sell to them even if they had the $.

Re: ISLAND DRAG-WAY..Hackettstown NJ-Good news.
 

No issues here with stopping in the 1/4 but only 2400lbs going 170+mph..

Ed I don't think anyone will miss you if you never come to ID again:rolleyes:..

Re: ISLAND DRAG-WAY..Hackettstown NJ-Good news.
 

they are not under new management!

a demarky is the new manager, a demarky was the previous manager and a demarky is the owner and landlord.

THAT is the TRUTH and the FACTS!
