It was also revealed that there's another subdivision being brought to the planning board. It will be 3,500 homes. 3,500 + 4,500 = 8,000 new homes surrounding the tracks.

i'd move into the race development the owner is thinking about opening, the sounds of cars is music to my ears

Gonna be a lot of bitching if approved. It’s like the people who complain about the smell of cow shit when they move into a sub next to a farm. WTF?

Looks like they lost, greedy politicians voted 5 - 2 to let the rezoning go to the next step with the empty promise they would protect the tracks.

Owners should erect giant billboards that face the new subs that list the race dates and warn ppl it will be LOUD during the events.
Then they need to put loud speakers on top the billboards that are set to broadcast continous race noise from 9am - 6pm at the decibel levels normally present at the property line.

People tried shutting down Byron dragway.

First they heavily limited times of operation to just weekends and ending before 6pm
Leek decided to get a lawyer and fight back. Ended up winning back his right to run at nights and during the week. But he kept it to a minimum.

People get nasty when something out of their control effects their home life.
Same thing will happen to Cleet and company. They really need to find everything they can to protect themselves before the first hole is dug.

If they can get landmark status, it will go a long way to flipping the bird to the new 8,000 families moving in.

No mention of any legal representation? Or did I miss something?

Agreed. Can be a great place for racers to stay and do a Bnb

It's only a matter of time before they're run out of there. I saw it last weekend when we were there.
It's a damn shame that drag racing is being shutdown all over the country when it's as popular as it is.

Dodge seems to have given up on cars and wants to sell trends

 

[Linda's Hell Cat]

All I can say is ATCO was in the position of shutting down for good and it's did continue to Stay Alive and Racing!

 

[jgilj]

We can only hope Bradenton stays alive and well. At the rate people are moving here every piece of land available is in question. Leave our drag strips alone! It’s going too be a big fight I’ll promise you.

I used to fly turbine RC jets and helicopters. All our flying fields were shut down due to noise, one by a f n low life trailer park trash. So I got back into cars, and the same shit is happening with it now too

Land of freedom except for us

I keep hearing that it's closed?

They have 2023 events scheduled on their website???
I don't live in NJ but did a quick look to see.

Back in my import days, a few guys that raced that track helped me get my car dialed in. Would be a shame to lose Atco and Englishtown

I just looked and they are still open!

Way back when we raced wagons it was 1 of our regular tracks. The bracket car was at the top of the track championship for a couple of years.
