All the timing equipment, as well as the track dryer, have been sold. They even took the dragster out of their logo. There will not be drag racing there again.

Perhaps the Copart company was a decoy for them (the track) to fall head over heels for the deal and pretty much ice their whole drag racing program in advance of sealing it all through. Bait and switch? There by once the pull out happens, then the developers can swoop in on parachutes and buy the land rights or in whole for just below market value.

C'mon. No one ever does anything underhanded or unethical in New Jersey.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit and spectate for the mopars at englishtown event so long ago it seems like a different lifetime..... late 80s I think it was...definitely pre-internet. Pre-moparts. It was also was pre-GPS and I got lost two or three times wandering around in that area. But really had a blast spectating and talking with a couple racers. The people in the bleachers gambling on each race were hilarious. Really had a great time there.

Rumor has it, the deal was signed with the insurance company, before they got the ok from the town, or the EPA....

Its been a few months now and it still angers me how it went down. Although not my home track I raced at every Mopar Atlantic Nats( except a few that rained out ) either in my Dart or D150. I raced the 11.50 index class there for the last couple years , winning the Championship in 2014 with my friend driving my Dart, as well as getting to compete at the NHRA National Meet there in 2014. I was planning on racing this year also. I have heard a lot of rumors and have gotten info from some very good sources but nothing has happened as of yet. I myself am still holding on to a glimmer of hope that it will reopen, who knows / you never know.

Not sure how NHRA would respond to them opening back up. I think they may have burned that bridge. I always enjoyed going there, mostly. It was OK after they paved the lower pits. And after we got motorhomes and didn't have to leave the property. I don't miss going to New Jersey.

One of the mary rumors was that NHRA wants the track open but without the Napp family as management. And that NHRA has filed a lawsuit against them for breach of contract….. Just something i heard awhile back
