Sota 1,191 Posted July 19, 2023 December 12, 2006 10:40am to 4:04pm I made 39 passes down the Atco drag strip during an invite only test-n-tune session. It was actually a warm day then as well. In total I made more passes at Atco that one day than I did total at all my visits to Englishtown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,264 Posted July 19, 2023 atco is where i raced everything from my grandmoms inline6 maverick or my grandpops 289 mustang to my 12 second gt to the shop's 9 second camaro.....and others in between. i only ever raced at englishtown twice. the starting line prep was significantly better than atco.....other than that, i preferred atco.

falcone 89 Posted July 26, 2023 Really sucks to hear this this. With the demise of englishtown and now this, Island Dragway in Great Meadows is the only strip left in jersey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
