Maybe the NHRA can save the day.......If they can it would be a track wake, and I think racers knowing it was the last divisional for the track would flood the place, I'd certainly have to bring the Gremlin, as the late Ed Fernadez won that race, it would only be fitting be have it go down the track one last time.

Here's the opportunity for NJ Motorsports park to expand to drag racing. There was talk about this the last go round with closing ATCO so here ya go. Also US13 to come back to NHRA and 1/4 mile drag racing. Hoe about those tracks in Maryland??? Believe Capitol is open as test and tune and grudge events.....
