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

[Rich Biebel]

The Open series was there 3 years. Car counts were pretty light and management decided not to keep going with it.

I was at the last WCS points meet held at Island .....about 1967 I would guess.

A trailer was a luxory back then......or a ramp truck.....many people still flat towed....

No way they could host a big race with the rigs people have today...

The first Open series race was fine.....I thought maybe it would give the place a much needed shot of adrenalin.....it didn't

And S/SS races were run there including at least one of Dave Ley's events around 2006 or 2007 and had a decent car count.......I was there and ran it with my Firebird........

and a number of Stock-SuperStock races were run there back in the 80's with pretty big turnouts....

I raced Jerry Stein in the final of one....around 1981.....He won that one....
