"e" town
 
Dose any one have any current drone videos or pictures of the track and or the pits. Would like to see what they did to (OUR) track (the Racers). I know its the Napps and they can do what ever they want with it, but we (the Racers) miss it like an old friend that is gone. PS. Not every one has Facebook to look at.

If you look at it on Google Earth or Google Maps there is aerial views from last May showing it all intact with barriers across the track in a few spots. Looks like some of the guardwall is down to allow vehicles to cross it.

They took the guardwalls down before a concert and beer festival in June 2019. Not sure if they put them back.

I'm sure they are happy they took the money then, as long as they didn't put it in the stock market. If they are due future payments that might be problematic

On Google you can enable and disable the globe view to switch between a recent view and an older view to see the changes. If anything could be considered good, they hadn't demolished any of the structures.

I had a customer of mine who lives just a few miles from E-Town tell me that the family told him even if they do reopen the drag strip at some point in time that they will never deal with the N.H.R.A. again.


Sounds like there is bad blood between them.

I think that maybe the way the track handled the decision to close made things difficult for NHRA. Remember, they made the decision less than a month before the NHRA season was to start, and the national event was already on the schedule. They caught NHRA by surprise.

What is going on here?
What angry at NHRA?
The track was a revenue producer for the town.

If they are upset that NHRA sued them after abruptly breaking their contract I don't feel sorry for them.

I believe that I read the the NHRA sued the family for closing because they had signed contract for the Summernationals. Never heard anything more about it, maybe it's still in litigation.
