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

My car and I are very sad and disappointed. Atleast Lions and O.C.I.R went out in style. John Kissel K242

Truly SAD!
I had hoped to return to compete there after I retire next year... I made my 1st 1/4 mile pass there in 1968 having grown up in Highland Park, NJ. When I think of how Richie & Vinnie struggled for it's success throughout the early days it's hard to fathom selling out their dream. I guess it's telling of the times we find ourselves in that the demise of both E-town and Pro Stock seems synchronized as was their emergence... Seems only fitting, since I was at the first, that I go home for the Summernats even if I can't compete, to at least witness and honor the end of a truly golden era in our sport.
