You suck........I'm just messing with ya.

05VENOM

I would like to tag along if not a problem. Last Friday I was the only E63/E55 there.

nyc_srt8

A E63!!!! Of course. I would really like to see you stretch your legs on the track.

Are you in nj or ny? The reason I'm asking is because the nyc guys usually meet up and head down together...

05VENOM

In Staten Island

nyc_srt8

We can meet up in SI off a exit on the highway. There is another guy in SI that we will meet up with too. As it gets closer we will get a definite meet area over there.

guys,

i am in NYC as well but i have never been to a 1/4 track before and don't really have any idea what the procedure / protocol is. i found the e-town raceway website but it's not working for some reason.

quick questions:
1) do i need to bring my own helmet?
2) how much does it cost? is it per run or per entrance?
3) how much does it cost to be a spectator at the stand if i don't run?

thanks.

Hey SAC,

Here are the answer to your questions.

1) do i need to bring my own helmet?
You can either bring your own "snell" approved helmet or purchase one at the track ($120)

2) how much does it cost? is it per run or per entrance?
$35 to race for the whole day.

3) how much does it cost to be a spectator at the stand if i don't run?
Between $10-$15

Englishtown's website is http://www.racewaypark.com

It's tons of fun. Ask anyone on the forum about their experience at the drag stip. Come out you won't regret it.

05VENOM

1. Yes you do. They just changed the requirements of the helmets. It has to meet new Snell ratings. Believe at least 100. You can also purchase a helmet there.
2. You pay at the entrance. Believe $25-30 dollars to race. At least on a FRi. Weekend fees might be different.
3. Spectator is cheaper. Don't know how much, I always race so never really noticed.

MACHC5

What time on Saturday.
I've got to go to work late afternoon.

nyc_srt8

The gates open at 9am and we should be there be there by 8:45am

MBH

I will try to make this event. Not sure if I'm gonna run my car, but I will at least spectate and video you guys flying down the track

enzom

Racing starts at 10:00 a.m.

cldriver

You can't rent a helmet there anymore?

nyc_srt8

You can rent a helmet but if you run faster than 13.99 you need a snell approve helmet. The helmet that are available to rent are not snell approved. This is a new rule that I learned after my first pass down the track this year . Oh yeah, are you coming?
