Probably the only place where they hold tech inspection right on a dragstrip.

That is on the separate 1/8th mile track and the tower is the old one.

They run Jr dragsters there on regular race days.

Englishtown is a very big facility...

[chris ok]

leaving my house now to go see you stock and super stockers today. Will take 2 hours easy to get there from Long Island.
I will have my Buick GS shirt on. Say hi.

Oh I know that Rich; I've been down both tracks. I also remember when they used to hold tech inspection in a shopping center up on Rt 18.

Good morning - Wow - what a morning we have here @ Old Bridge Twsp. - super sunny and almost no clouds with temps in the lo fifties but expected to reach into the seventies .And as yesterday the humidity will be in the 40 range with the barometer being again 30 plus.Yesterday saw some great performances because of these numbers and today it will happen once more .

This morning will see Stock get their final qualifier along with SuperStock starting their class runoffs .And once again the starting time will be at 10:15.After Stocks' final Q run they'll have rounds one and two this afternoon .

S/S class has some real battles going on - how about GT/HA having Cantucci / Bagley /Rampy and Broucher all within .015 of each other .Then we have SS/BA with Bongiovanni / Belles with .009 between themselves.Also there is GT/FA with Stevenson and Bardecoff within .014 of each other .And the Combo Cup Automatic deal has Marc LaBrecque on top of the leader board with his SS/TC Chevrolet S10 truck . The question is as always - who hasn't shown their hand ? Who will end up with the hardware is anybody's guess at this point .

Stay tuned as its to be an exciting day and ClassRacer will cover it for you .......Later - I've got to go and warm up my camera ! ! !

Good morning Jack,
Thanks for all you and Ken are posting about. I'm not sure if stock runs for class, but it would be a good match-up between you and Stephen Smyth in the Portatree Challenger. Like a Factory/Stock show down without the showdown.
You 2 are fairly close e.t. wise. Wishing you all a safe and productive weekend.

At Denver a few years ago they had tech inspection right on the dragstrip, at about the 1000 foot mark.. ! I though it was kinda cool..
