E Town rumors are true
 

Re: E Town rumors are true
 

Very sad. Great facility. I have only been there once. Fastest track I have ever run on. When my race car was still my street car, ( faster than it is a race car. LOL) a guy from GM High Tech Magazine was going to Oral Roberts University here in Tulsa. Somebody mentioned my shop to him, so he. And came to find us. We would take him to lunch with us, etc. He got me invited to an EFI race the magazine was doing at Englishtown for a magazine article. Two friends went with me.
A local guy that was kinda hanging around the car said "We should be at Atco doing this!" I asked him "why?" He said "It's faster over there!" The three of us were flabbergasted. We asked "Are you kidding? Faster than THIS?" He says "Sure. Everybody knows that." We told him "If you think this is not fast, you need to come to Div 4." LOL
I have not seen minus DAs like that, with low humidity anywhere around here. Like -375'. Such a shame to loose that track. The people working there were great to us as well.

I guess it's true. The Knapp family who originally owned the place stated they would go to the Supreme Court to keep it open. When we started going there in the sixties, it was out in the boonies, big time. It's not in the boonies anymore. They built a sound 'wall', went to court so many times over the past 15 years it's not funny, always winning. But, the writing was on the wall, I guess.....it was only a matter of time.....one had to realistically know that at some point it would come to this. Time marches on, I guess (sigh) They still may hold the National Event, at least this year, but we all know that it's days are numbered, as well.

Well it is true, sad to say Ive got word from one of the Napps.

Re: E Town rumors are true
 

That really sucks if it's true. I've always considered E-Town one of the premier tracks in the northeast. First went there in the 70's and have a lot good memories from there.

i guess leasing the land out is going to be more profitable than racing. The NHRA most likely did not give them a cut from the races there to keep it open
