Ah, The Good Old Days In NJ…

- Start date
Closer. When I was covering races for DRC, my location was great. 45-60 minutes to Atco and E-town. 60-90 minutes to Maple Grove. 90 minutes - 2 hours to Cecil County. Four of the seven tracks I covered were within two hours. I still live there, but two of the tracks are gone, and I don't cover the races anymore.

Huh, back in '77 we Drag Racing fans were more about Zeppelin and Sabbath
I can be at Atco in 3 minutes. Len Capone gutted it and sold out! He was always a poor businessman, just got lucky somehow getting paid.

Englishtown had many issues. I can't blame the Napp family.
I enjoyed my time racing at both tracks.
I like the old videos that have been posted at Etown. Most before my time. Great history there.

"JUNE 15, 2024 Country singer George Strait just smashed another record in his chart-topping musical career.
On Saturday, the Texas native played the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history before a crowd of 110,905 fans, according to Billboard.
The performance at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field in College Station beat out the previous record held by the Grateful Dead, which jammed before 107,019 attendees during a 1977 show at Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J.
Though Strait nabbed the record for the largest ticketed musical performance, there have been bigger crowds at some music festivals and free concerts held in the U.S., such as the 1986 performance by the New York Philharmonic in Central Park that drew an estimated 800,000 people."
Is that why the crowd to see the Dead at E'town was so small?
After Joe Sway sold Atco, he told me the secret for a racer to be successful at owning and running a track is to forget they were ever a racer.
