My neighbor keeps a couple of his banner towing planes at the airport. He hasn't heard anything and is going to check on things today. I'll let you know what I find out.John Kissel K242

I don't know if it would be bad thing if this rumor were true.

Few times I've been to Englishtown the place was going down hill fast with very little or no maintenance/improvements.

ETown is a great facility and was a super track before there was such a term. It is run down some and has been repeatedly under attack by neighbors who move in way after the track was in operation. You go there sometimes on a Sunday and the drag strips are both running, the dirt bike track and practice tracks are humming, go carts are running and the drifting or road course is full of cars. It would be a huge loss to motorsports if the facility closed. This same rumor has been popping up for years and years. Hopefully it is just not true. I have been going there since 1966 !

Vincent Napolitano was the real deal, he loved the place and drag racing. The property is worth bookoo bucks and it's fate is obvious. Nothing last forever, but if the NHRA where legitimate, and it's not, they would cover their sorry asses and buy it to protect their "assets" in a major market. New York!

Don't think there's enough $$$ to satisfy all the cuts involved in the split. Not sure but I don't know if the property can be sold to continue as a racetrack. Besides, the curfew and noise restrictions make it impossible to run a constant flow of money making racing.
Between that and the changing demographics of the "new" racefans filling the seats is a challenge.
I raced there since 1977 (brackets then Stock since 1999) till I sold everything in 2010 and I guess I would miss the place.

Off the beaten' path here but, in my opinion, best event of the summer, was that once great Nostalgia event, pretty much ceases to be... ! Too bad they couldn't work a "March Meet" thing like they do in Cali.

Frank, I don't think anyone is ready to fork out the asking price. I was told by someone they gave out 10,000 free entry passes for one of the divisionals and less than 200 were cashed in. Does that tell you something?

Yes sir, that pretty much sums it up.
