Englishtown Closed To Drags

It would be sad to loose a facility like that one. I hope, for everybody involved, that it does not happen.

Maybe there just closed due to the winter and cold weather.

Rumors of closing were flying around Sat .before the Div. banquet . Although nothing was said publicly ,a few people who have real connections to the track said that one of the dirt tracks is being moved or changed and someone drew the usual January forecast of doom for the dragstrip.

there is a story about the track closing right here on class racer magazine, who are the supposed insiders that gave out this information?

If it did happen it would be a huge blow to Div 1, what other Div 1 track could host a National Event.

Run 2 at Epping or Maple Grove, like Charlotte. Area tracks should benefit from local programs, as well.

It is annoying that there are always rumors, but no one ever wants to reveal their " source " on where they heard it. This has been going on for years, and last year on facebook someone said that they had inside info last year would be the final year for drag racing, but motocross and drifting would still be around. When they were confronted on the source, they just got quiet and dissapeared. I"ve heard this rumor over and over since I've been racing there in the 80's. I don't know who wrote the article in classracer magazine, but I'm sure it's another reliable source.
