Some Englishtown observations.

They pocketed a lot money doing this. Made more money than the drag racing operation did.

The entire facility was rented-out right after Sandy hit to several different companies to store flood damaged cars before going to auction or getting crushed. Those companies really damaged that place. The 400 lot (next to staging lanes and lake/fuel area) got completely destroyed. Was always the last lot to get fixed in the past, still is.......

Hopefully it all gets done before the 2017 season starts again.

Stop bitching.....You can't put a price on a good time...


I was at the very first WCS race at Englishtown.....1966

We flat towed there and the pits were dirt...

I won the Summernationals
I won the Lucas race there twice
I won Super ET there
I have been to finals in Pro.....S/St....S/Pro...

It's a great facility and needs a freshen up.....but compared to other dumps It's still great. One of the first super tracks...

8 and 9 second stockers on 9" tires.....and you expect perfect conditions every run in 100degree heat.......that's hysterical...

Did you race back before concrete on 7" tires......in the summer with a stick car......??? You either adapted or spun your butt off....and lost....


Oh yea the invocation and national anthem busts me up too....
And I won in 2005 when it was 9/11 and that day really got to me in the morning.....I wound up in the winners circle....and the trophy and et slips sit right in front of me....very memorable...

The payout problem is nothing new at all and will not change anytime soon for the better...

If all you care about is money your in the wrong sport...

This past weekend was hot as blazes......Didn't get to me really all that bad....I was out in rd 1.....No bitching from me.....I had a good time....

I hope they do some improvements but the sport and everything with it is in a decline unfortunately......enjoy it while you can....

Bowling Green track works very well when its hot, maybe its the .................

Rich - I'm not as old as you - but I won the 1974 WCS at E-town and it paid $200 to win and no sticker money - round one had 129 cars .On top of that I drove my racer there .And I never did get the trophy - it's still in the mail !!!!

My oh my how things have changed - it's still a super track but I agree some lipstick would be nice .And even with the high temperatures I expect to hook - everywhere ! ! We all paid our entry fees expecting a workable track surface .
