I fixed the link . Just for you Ed. ......I'm suprised you were'nt on top of this one . Right in your back yard!!!

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Thieves in and around Englishtown is nothing new......Armed robbery is though. I think many people know who works in the office at E-Town. I hope she is ok if it was who I am thinking that was there during the holdup.....she is to nice to have something like that happen to her....

E-Town does pay in cash usually and always has.

Car theft as well as items taken from your trailer while you were racing has happened in the past.

One year there were about 10 cars stolen. Usually the thieves followed racers when they left the track and waited for an opportunity. I do recall one rig was taken right from the racetrack area.....

One of my best friends had his truck/trailer/car taken from the old Cantore's......we got the car back......it was in NY.......

Englishtown is located way to close to New York city.

Hey! Where was Ed when this was going on? Jim

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

I live 6 miles north of the track and I was loading up my trailer with junk for the swap meet this weekend.
If the gremlin picks up 1/2 sec. next year you'll know I'm a damn liar.
Some people think that everytime you go through the gate it's robbery.
A few weeks ago someone drove onto the property and obsconded with an ATM machine.The larceny crowd is working overtime up here.

I just spit coke out of my nose and all over the computer! You kill me sometimes Ed! Jim

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Jim,clean up the mess.Computors do not like soda.Their taste runs more to wine.In the case of this site sometimes it's whine.

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

I had a tool box stolen at Englishtown back in the days when I used to take it out to save weight in my street car. No matter where I've raced since then it never leaves the trunk.

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

I say it was an inside job. Someone familiar with the modus operandi of Raceway Park's staff's handling of the previous day's proceeds obviously tipped somebody off and hence the robbery.

I hope the police catch their *****!

The robbers must not have stopped at the gate to get their ticket punched, and definitely didn't take it to get a wrist band!!

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Hey Ed, Hows the new SS/AH car coming along,Lee.

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Oh........ Really? Hummmmmm. Interesting, very interesting. Jim

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Check and see if any new mysterious SS/AH cars arrive on the scene with some expensive titanium valves. Then we may find the robber. But he would only be halfway there with 100k.

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Whats that supposed to mean? Talk about an ignorant statement!

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

LOL I agree Carl. I've had more stuff stolen from me in Gainesville and Pomona than tracks close to NYC. The thieves are everywhere.

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

I'm going partners with Bucky.My cash will fund our next bullet,to be developed and built in Bulgaria by noted engine builder Ivan Hemikovikoskovich.

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Ya'll need us to send ole' Roy up to help ya'll out ????

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Just exactly what it's supposed to MEAN! The only ones "ignorant" are those in denial of reality!

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

Sal -- As you may or may not be aware I'm the unofficial record holder for having things stolen in Pomona ...............

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!

i know a bunch of stock racers had that stolen in Indy this year

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
 

I guess all of us New Yorkers must be thieves....

Re: Englishtown Robbed !!!
