there is a small drag strip called Island Dragway, in Great Meadows NJ. It's a good place to race, not big and commecialized like englishtown. Anyway they do not have many imports there ever, but they are considering putting together an import class with some decent payouts. They are having a meeting on Saturday Feb. 1'st to discuss this and other things. All racers are invited, and they will be serving lunch on them.. So if you are interested in helping this get going here's where you have to go



Racer meeting scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 1, 2003 at Hackettstown Rescue Squad Building, 123 Maple Ave, Hackettstown New Jersey at 11 am

i've heard of Island, supposively the reason it isn't very big is because the track has a bump at about the area that most people shift to 2nd or something that ***** up people's times.



At least that's what people tell me, and i think it was island they were talking about, i could be wrong though

Where is the actual strip? I grew up very close to Hackettstown. I never knew about the place.
