Who owns raceway park

Mamakas said few if any of the mainly per diem workers at the raceway would be out of work as a result of the end of operations, because most also work in other areas of the complex, on other forms of racing.

Funny car driver Scott Kalitta was killed in a fiery crash there in June One consolation for local motorists who aren't racing fans, Mamakas said, would be less congestion on Route Steve Strunsky may be reached at sstrunsky njadvancemedia.

Good thing for SEMA. The memories of great times, the friendships gained and the fact that people have plotted the course of their lives and businesses because of this track only touches on the impact of this place.

As for us missing Sears, not really. This is actually doing something real and fun and the experience is going to be lost. RIP Englishtown Raceway. A Historic Track taken away! All because of Greed. I am sure the Insuance was expensive, but God Damn another track gone!!!! So sad!!! I have many fond memories there!!!!! RIP Englishtown Raceway!!!! Shame on You!! Just a Shame. What could possibly be more important than a drag strip? Only someone with a democratic mind could do this.
