I believe 1320 is correct on the State Police issue....

One benefit of having Island open again...besides an extra place to race...is it might
"slim-down" the car counts at the other 2 NJ tracks...speeding up the programs
there a bit...maybe allowing for an extra "time shot" at those tracks?

Do hope that some of the family is retained in the future operation...and they go
by the "mom and pop" family approach set forth by Mr. and Mrs. K in the past...

Remember one visit back in the '80's...think Mrs. K was cooking her Polish recipes
at the snack booth...there were several crockpots...I know she had keilbasa!

I was "fiddlin" with the car too much...and didn't have the time to sample...

Want to go back for some...Mellissa and Kathy....are you listening?

Car counts are already pretty slim.....

The only reason things go slowly at E-Town is somedays they have a wide array of cars...like this past Sunday...

Add some Test and Tune and blowup and wreck No Time crap, and the cleanup time drags the day out......

I am all for Island re-opening....but not if it is going to be barely adequate as a racetrack.....

Maybe the test and tune crowd will be happy but I assure you the serious racers would not be....

So if it is an unsanctioned track do state police have jurisdiction over it?

According to my sources, they can NOT operate as an outlaw track in NJ but I have also heard they might try as well I have heard if they do, the State Police will be there to shut them down.
