Englishtown eliminates drag racing
Englishtown (actually "Old Bridge Township, NJ") Raceway Park announced effective immediately the end of all drag racing activities. That includes the 49th NHRA Summernationals, which NHRA has now deleted from the 2018 schedule, and apparently will not replace.
Only 20 minutes from my home, I spent a lot of time there. Sad to see it go.
The site will remain open. Drag strip area/grandstands will be converted to an outdoor concert venue. Other paved and dirt tracks (motorcycle, karts, drifting) and the adjacent air strip will remain open.
