That would be great. The place is a little rough around the edges but I have gone there since 1980 and have great memories. The place is classic.

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

Great news. Can't wait. Gotta keep that place going.

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

it ain't back, they've got no money and are asking for donations of $ and time. They've got no EMS and again are asking for charity, they've got no fuel supplier, no credit, no insurance, no sanctioning body and the state police will NOT allow them to operate without it.

They are far from back!!!

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

I do hope they're able to bring it back...I've been going there since 1977...

Was at the 50th Anniversary Race...and saw "Big Daddy"...GREAT time!

Wish I had a little "extra" of what they need...kinda "tight" in those areas at this time...

The place IS what it IS....that's why I like it!

Forever the optimist.

AND as the world turns..so shall the progress of ID.

I assume that the deed holders have a mgt. team that might make it work.

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

you assume too much. First, MONEY is what's required to open it and operate it.

It may open, but it won't be open for long as Kathy and Tony have worked hard for 2 decades driving weekly racers away. They left and ain't coming back!

Again, it's all about MONEY! If you don't collect it at the gate, you can't operate!!

A very cold and hard fact indeed !

what got up ur butt this morning 1320racer? two different topics and u are full of doom and gloom..but since u can hide behind a screen name, u can say what ever ur little heart desires...what type of car do u race?
did they throw you out or ban you rom racing at Island?
As far as im concerned, ANY track closing is bad for all of us, even the not so perfect ones.

miss moses, I don't hide and it's no secret amongst those of us that have raced at island weekly for decades how I feel about. I and everyone of my weekly competitors there KNOW why that track shut down. It was never if but always when!
