The Island Dragway bashing is getting old, Noone HAS to go there, its just another option to someone who wants to go racing, Any time a racetrack closes anywhere, its no good, so Im glad they are reopening and hope they do well.
Im very glad that Numidia has a great drag program, but theres one thing that has been left out. Bob does not need the racetrack to make money, And Im sure Ed will tell everyone since he only speaks the truth, that there were times that Bob payed more out than the track brought in when he was building up his program. He uses the track as a writeoff for his multi million dollar company with NYC buses. And that's a good thing for the racer who goes there. but its not real life for the person who has to make a living running a racetrack. Im sure there are many people on this site who go to racetracks that are mom and pop tracks, and that's what island dragway is, not a multi million dollar super complex that runs motorcross, road courses, gokarts etc. like raceway park, or have an owner that likes to run a racetrack as a hobby, and if it makes money great, but of not, that's fine too.
I commend Bob for what he has done at Numidia, but that doesn't mean I want island to become a memory.
