Island Dragway Out of Business

Read it elsewhere. Seems its shut down due to either tax issues or environmental issues. Sucks to lose another.

That sucks. Their website says celebrating 52 years. The Lord gives it, the taxman takes it away.

That sucks, it was way close than Englishtown for me. Not as nice but still great to have in North Jersey. Sad day

My info is second hand just like everyone elses but i would'nt call it done at this point. The posts on facebook last night were taken down as well. Just cause it's on the Bullet doesn't always make it true..LOL

 

[stkjock]

Hope they can manage to reopen. It's a 3 hour hike for me, but at least you can always manage to get 8-10 runs on a TNT day.

When there is something to be confimed it will and a post will be made on here, our website and on our phone system. until then nothing else will be said. keep checking back.

Latest update:

"After months of waiting, listening, reorganizing and a great deal of thought we are finally ready to make the public announcement that we hope everybody has been waiting for. We WILL be re-opening during the 2013 season!! We are HOPING for sometime as soon as July. The rumors about financial hardship are true and we are not out of the woods yet, though with proper management and some luck from the... weather we hope to stick around for a long time!

There seemed to be people coming out of the woodwork to offer a helping hand, so we would like to take some up on that offer. If you would like to donate some time or money please send us an email at [email protected] with your name and contact info, every little bit helps! Local businesses who would like to set up a sponsorship package, please contact us as well, this is bound to be one of our best seasons with the amount of publicity we have gotten as of late!

We are looking for EMS providers for this season. Any EMS providers with Friday-Sunday availability please email [email protected]

We are also looking for clubs interested in hosting or helping with special events, particularly Import, Truck and Rat Rod/Jalopy events. If you know of a club or are just have some AWESOME ideas, please send an email to [email protected]"

I saw that. Let's hope it's true.

Hope they make it. Too many strips closing lately. Lost two in AZ (I think) recently.

Looks like GOOD NEWS!

"Our new website is up! Opening weekend scheduled for July 5, 6 & 7! check out the site and let us know if you find anything broken or missing. The site is NOT totally inclusive, but complete enough to be public"
