Relocating

[Frank Castros]

After sixty years of living in Connecticut and living and loving the Land of NED, my beautiful wife of twenty-nine years, Suellen and I are moving to Charleston, South Carolina this weekend to begin a new chapter of our lives.
I will be checking out the 1/8 mile racing scene at Orangeburg and Dorchester and hope to meet some D2 and IHRA Class Racer brothers and sisters in the Palmetto State.
Thanks to the Northeast Division for the memories, from Dover Dragstrip, New York National Speedway, Connecticut Dragway, Etown, Atco, the Grove, MIR, Epping and the rest.

Come on down the water is fine and the winters are much better. Welcome to the south!

Frank, we love the Low Country, and spend as much time there as we can. Charleston is a favorite destination that offers wonderful experiences every time we visit. Great food, shopping, history lessons and friendship!

I'm sure you will be thrilled with your decision.

Good luck, Frank. Had enough of the winters and the taxes and everything else the northeast has to offer ? I will be leaving Long Island within the next 3 to 4 months. Had enough of the Vampire State. My girlfriend landed a nice job in Sarasota and we will be looking in that area at the end of the summer. Putting in my papers with the union and will look to see what the area has to offer. Taxes going up every year. HOA fees on the town home have doubled
in the last 3 years. Done and finished. Been quite a ride but got to go. Hope to be settled in by Christmas. lol

I'd move back to Long Island in a heartbeat if they had even an 1/8th mile dragstrip and the taxes were a little more down to earth. I grew up in West Islip after moving out from Brooklyn as a kid and love that area so much but a small 1,000 sq ft home is about 12,000 a year in prop taxes and I'm looking to do a semi retirement in 7 months when I turn 60 so it wouldn't be a wise choice. PA is a decent compromise if you can deal with the corruption and lack of the ocean. I'm in the process of buying a house in Elysburg which is the PA equivalent of West Islip minus the ocean and it's 11 miles from Numidia Dragway, 1.5 acres and 1,400 taxes for the year and just 200 miles from West Islip.
