Oh 1.5 hour drive. How much for how many runs? Take out spare, jack, and what else to get the fastest times?

Englishtown is only open if its 40 degrees+ and at 2pm+. I believe their season is from March to November. The other thing is they are usually only open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays.

You may want to call them.

Hahah okay I guess the earliest is next month. You guys plan it please, since I don't know anything about these drag strips. I'm off from work on Mondays only that's why I ask. If we plan it ahead of time I can probably take off, depends. We will see.

someone was suppose to set this up last year... i hope it goes down this year.... if we want it to be a big meet it would have to be right when they open, 2pm til probably close.

this way we could give people doing a road trip enough time to come... whether it's going to be up NY or englishtown.....night time meets will probably only get locals.

just a thought
