**Track Night: Mar. 27th, 2009 - Englishtown, NJ**

[One Crazy Max]

i will be heading down to Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ on friday night Mar. 27th, 2009.

gates open @ 5pm, but i will try and get there for 4:30pm before they open.

this event is for all street-muffled vehicles, so there will be no loud annoying american muscle cars there to ruin the fun.

hopefully if there arent much cars, i can get in more than 4 or 5 runs to really get my car dialed in properly!

this i believe will be the first friday Test & Tune they have this year, so lets get an early start on the racing year.

so who is interested in going?

[Shift_Altima]

i'm down. i live 10 min away

[One Crazy Max]

ill see you there. if you need any tips or anything, ill be there so you can just ask for help if you need it.

but im guessing you probably dont need help since you said you live 10 mins away, and you are probably there all the time. i would be if i lived that close!

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

i would go but it depens on the funds situation ......how much is it???

[One Crazy Max]

$24 to race$12 to spectate

and you stand a chance of getting way more than 3 runs in!

Its just a drag strip?I went to H.S. there (manalapan)

[One Crazy Max]

yes Raceway Park @ Englishtown, NJ is just a drag strip, but what high school are you talking about. i thought you were from long island?

I thought MAYBE they put in a little autocross, guess not.

I was born in Staten Island, moved to Manalapan NJ (basically the nice town next to e-town) when I was 12 and they put metal detectors in my jr HS....

Went to Hofstra on Long Island, and then never left.

When I lived in NJ, I was SUPER CLOSE to the track (but I had no interest back then ) and on sundays in the summer you could hear the engines of some of the cars from my house.

You guys gotta stop thinking that way!

Last year at carlisle, infront of several hundred spectators I was whipping my car around the autocross with a big smile

Sure I probably had the slowest car there... Sure everyone else was on "lightweight" wheels and I had heavy 20s.... but its about having a good time and enjoying the experience!

No one was laughing at me, you gotta start somewhere!

am i the only one that thinks that expensive? i know my local track is $7 to spectate and $15 to race..... unless you go on some special event and the prices can very up to $50 to race

[JVLeGa]

In my opinion, prices for things have always been pricier here than in other places.

Taking into account the last time i was in Cali, Thai Cuisine (my FAV) was like 5$ a plate, over here in Jersey like 10-12. sucks

Although u did have nice 20's on ur ride and i still have the stock 16's lol, u r rite and I think i will partake in the festivities then

So LBC, u coming thru then? mite need some back up when i get cracked on j/k

this'll def be the push for me to get crackin on my mods, money obv is the only thing in the way and the modbug has been good to be so far.

BTW: My A/C just completed her first year! WOOHOO, i got her a nice car wash, she was a dirty girl

[LongBeachCoupe]

Unfortunatly I wont be able to make this one...

You should come to the meet this saturday in queens... get a chance to meet some of the guys, theres gonna be 20+ of us there I assume...

Or better yet, come to CARLISLE to meet EVERYONE and their momma!

[07wHiTE 3.5SE 6sPD]

jus great andrew... englishtown on the night i have class from like 6 - 11... you bum, i wanted to go but unfortunately school is priority... you think my sedan would run into the 11's like my STi? lol, jus joking.. see you this weekend when we link up for the meet.

really? i always heard it was cheaper there... everyone i know of thats gone to jersey, the first thing they say is that when they order Pizza its cheap (or the same price) but like 10 times the size lol

[JVLeGa]

i guess it depends where u go.. i get slices for like $1.75-2.50, primarily around 2.25. And when i was in Cali, it was around Berkeley/college area, i'm guessin, so food was cheaper?

Regarding track tho, def see esp. in another thread that prices are more expensive here than say cali or texas, i didn't really focus on other states. I'm assuming that it's cuz of space? more space in cali and texas to build a track and there is enough of a crowd to make it cost effective but mebbe in NJ not so much. Just my .02 cents

[One Crazy Max]

ok, so who IS going to the track.

and yes jersey pizza is mad cheap, but its soo good, and its the same size as NY pizza.

and dont be scared to run your car, thats how you gain experience, and at least you wont be like the rest of the chicken-s***s that dont run their car at the track.

[Shift_Altima]

ill see you there. if you need any tips or anything, ill be there so you can just ask for help if you need it.

but im guessing you probably dont need help since you said you live 10 mins away, and you are probably there all the time. i would be if i lived that close!

lol thanks. But I'm really good at launching and shifting, no need for tips. I'll bring a few of my si friends with me and we can show them how nissan builds a car.

[One Crazy Max]

bumpity bump bump bump!!!

[LongBeachCoupe]

Can you guys confirm/deny that there is autocross there? At this weekends meet some of the guys said theres autox at etown but i didnt think there was...

[Shift_Altima]

[LongBeachCoupe]

So there is autocross, but only like 4 days a season?

[One Crazy Max]

they dont have autox there all the time, and almost definitely not on wednesdays and fridays. usually on special event sat/sunday they have autox, and im pretty sure its more than 4x a season

[JVLeGa]

is this still on for tommorrow

[One Crazy Max]

is this still on for tommorrow

yup!

im most definately gonna be there before the gates open.

the weather is looking really good for tomorrow as well, high of 64, partly cloudy, chance of precip 20% throughout the day but highly unlikely.

woot!!!

[JVLeGa]

So how was it Max?? I would've been there cept when i went to re-read the time lol, i totally thought it was gonna be later, i was still at wrk till like 7pm so it didn't do me ne good. Also, i was gonna be bringin my friends, 1. G37 owner M/T, and GTI owner M/T, but they had to work past 5 also, sucksssssss. Hopefully next time.
