This is an announcement from Raceway Park's web site.
For those of you who don't know - Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ is one of the top tracks in the Northeast Tri-State Area. I'm sure most of the drag racers on this board have been down this track and even call this track their home track.
I know I will be at this meeting prepared to voice my opinion! http://www.racewaypark.com for more info
ATTENTION RACEFANS:
Raceway Park needs your help and support!!!
On Thursday August 5th, a Public Meeting is being held to discuss the noise levels that affect the residents of Manalapan and Englishtown. Monmouth County Assemblymen Michael J. Panter and Robert L. Morgan will discuss their recent legislation proposal to remove the Motor Vehicle Racetrack Exemption from the Noise Control Act of 1971. This exemption is what makes it possible for racetracks of all types to operate unmuffled vehicles. This move would be devastating to Raceway Park, and could set off a number of changes the way racetracks operate both here in our area and all over the state. Founded in 1965, long before the wave of housing developments that now dominate our area, Raceway Park has remained a place for motorsport enthusiasts of all kinds to come and enjoy the sports they love. Raceway Park has been able to stay open these many years based largely in part on the vocal support of the many local race fans who have helped us to fend off these attacks in the past.
We now ask for that support again, so that we may silence those who oppose Raceway Park once and for all. The meeting is open to the public and will take place on Thursday August 5th at 7:00 PM in Manalapan Township at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters located at 125 Symmes Rd. The library is a mere 1/4 mile from the corner of Route 9 and Symmes Rd. and very easy to access. If you are unable to attend, please contact Assemblymen Panter and Assemblymen Morgan at 732-741-5599 and voice your opinion. You may also fax your thoughts to 732-741-0012 or contact them via email at AsmPanter@njleg.org or AsmMorgan@njleg.org. If you e-mail, please copy Raceway Park at etownrcwy@aol.com. You can send a letter to them at New Jersey General Assembly, Legislative Office, The Galleria, 2 Bridge Avenue, Bldg. 2, Red Bank, New Jersey 07701. Please come out and support Raceway Park, the home of fast family fun for over 40 years and for many years to come.
A petition for Englishtown Raceway Park has been started, which will be sent to the people making this “wrong” decision, before the town meeting. Please take the little time it takes to sign the petition and to give them a call to voice your opinion.
Feel free to copy and paste this URL to all places. Thanks.
Shades of Lime Rock Park...
Just HOW LONG has Englishtown been there? Why, if people/developers don't like NOISE, do they INSIST on building thisclose to noisemakers, THEN moan and pi$$ and complain about the "environment"???
BTW, this assinine behavior transcends Party lines...

signed. I don't think someone's signature from California will help. We are going through this with a number of tracks here. Developers want the land to build and people don't like the noise and exhaust.
I hope the local Indian tribes will consider building some tracks for people to use. The only way to over come NIMBYs and government regulation
I lived a couple of miles away between the ages of 2-9. Rember hearing the cars when I was a kid! This is what always happen, people build near a racetrack, and then complain about the noise!
