That sucks! The Pan American Nationals mentioned in that article has always been huge. Their lucky that they just had it last weekend. A VW series was due to race at the old time drags. All canceled. We all knew it was coming. |

Well that sure sounds like a SHI+HEAD move to their customers/fans!! To end mid year w/ no warning is classless IMO unless there is something behind the scenes that is not public knowledge!! |

I just talked to my friend that had the VW event scheduled there. He said it sold for a lot and their working on resch their even at Mason Dixon. Also, kinda nice that they waited for the Pan American Nationals. Team ship their cars from PR for the race. The previous owners said that they paid their bills for the year with that one event. |

Does that leave Island as the only operating Drag Strip in NJ? Who would have thunk it! |

Yes, that leaves Island. I'm lucky I live in MD, 20 minutes from Cecil Co Dragway. Its not too far from Jersey. |

Turns out Insurance Auto Auctions purchased Atco. Also on July 13 I.A.A purchased Emerald Coast Dragway in Holt Florida. Add the track that shuttered in Denver, thats 3 Drag strips this so far this Summer.
I.A.A leases Raceway Park in Englishtown. Them and Copart are as deadly as Shopping Malls, Housing and, Warehouses to local racing. |
