Hey... I haven't been to Englishtown in many years, so I'm not really sure what's the deal over there. Does anyone know if there are drag runs on the 17th? On their site, for 4/17 it says: "Annual Spring Englishtown Swap Meet & Auto Show", but doesn't mention anything about 1/4 mi. runs... Is that just a car show that day, or do they have runs too?

:cheers:

I may be wrong, but I don't think there is racing that day..

No, Englishtown doesn't race the weekend of the swap meet.

But if you really want to race that weekend, Island and Atco will be running.

Englishtown doesn't race that weekend​

Damn! I wanna squelch my 2 friends who think they'd both be dead even with me in the Zee. One has a new M3, and the other a new EVO....that was the first wknd we could all go.. :flaming:

Ah well, I guess we'll have to wait 'til the 24th, they have it posted as "Open Competition Drag Racing". Does that mean you can run against anyone you choose?? I remember last time I dragged there was like 7 years ago - I had a modded 240SX back then, and every run I couldn't manage to go up against my friends - they kept pitting me against monsters running in the 12's and 13's when I was only in the way upper 14's! :mah:

Where are Island and Atco - in LI??

 

[benenati379]

Island Dragway is in Great Meadows, NJ right off route 80.

Atco Raceway is in Acto, NJ.

Both are great tracks, without all the commercial-ness.

Hmm, they both seem to have motorcycle events on the 17th... does that mean there are no autos?

Atco is showing: "Motorcycles Suzuki Pts Series No 5/ Test & Tune/No Time OK", and island something similar ...is there open dragging at either on the 17th that you know of?

 

[benenati379]

Island Dragway has Saturdays as their racedays. Sundays are test and tune days and special events.

You'll be able to run your buddies during a test and tune session on Sunday. But if you want to compete for some $$$, you'll have to go on a Saturday.

Or you can go to their Friday night Street car races. But, just like any race day, you wont be guaranteed to line up with them.

 

[Z06 Rocket]

Cool.. thanks a lot man. :cheers:

Do you ever go to Atco? Same deal over there? My friends that wanna race work late on Fridays and Saturdays, so that's why Sunday is really the only day we could all go...

 

[benenati379]

Acto is having a Motocycle Points race, but they are also having a Quick 8/Heads Up Index and I don't think your looking for something like that.

If you go to Island on that sunday, you can do a test and tune. All you have to do is ask to be lined up with your buddies and it shouldn't be a problem. You usually can get 5 good runs in on a test and tune day.

You may go home with bragging rights but not any $$$ though.

 

[Dr.Ron]

Test & tune is open racing.. Atco would be a hike for you! It's just over an hour from me here on Staten Island. Etown is 30 minutes...Island shouldn't be TOO bad a ride for you guys...

How is it just over an hour from S.I. when it takes me almost 2 hours and I'm much further south than you?

 

[Z06 Rocket]

Thanks for the replies guys..

We all finally decided to go to Englishtown on the 24th, then head to Atlantic city afterwards to spend the night. IMO, there can be no better day in a man's life - adrenaline pumping drags, and adrenaline pumping high stakes gambling in the same day!
I'd better beat the ///M3, and spank the EVO... of course I'll post my 1/4 mi. times, and report how badly I whooped on 'em.

Why dont I help you, Tell your M3 an evo friend to join in on the forum here for some Pre-race smack talking I'll work them up so bad they'll miss gears all night trying to make their cars beat the impossible. It works every time

trust me, I had $1000 bet last weekend against a 550rwhp cobra, not that I could beat him, but I lit him up so bad that No show and no call!

and another guy with a Viper is so Scared he's putting his wife to drive the car against me :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Haha that was hilarious! :rofl: I've smack talked a lot to them, but they're so convinced that they can keep right up, they smack talked right back! :lol: ...all I could say was, "Yeah yeah, we'll see at the strip!"
If either of them misses a gear, they'll NEVER live it down. I'll make fun of 'em for years :lol: I know I definitely won't miss a gear, because I'll be paying EXTRA attention to not doing it!

She ran a 15-something first time she raced so you should be able to keep up with her :rofl:

Maybe you need to re-plot your route?
