Raceway Park Season Delayed Due To Cold
Due to the cold weather conditions that have plagued the Raceway Park Starting Line Resurfacing Project, Raceway Park's Management has decided to cancel the Winter Warm-Up Days scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, February 26th & 27th, as well as the Wednesday Night and Friday Night Test and Tune events of March 2nd and 4th. "We had hoped to be looking at 300 feet of new concrete by this point but, with the temperatures too low to pour concrete in the manner we want, we must postpone our season by one week" said Event Coordinator David Napp. The 40th Raceway Park season is now scheduled for Street Wars #1, on Saturday, March 5th. Napp continued "If there is something our family has learned in 40 years of business, it's do it once and do it right. That is the approach we are taking with our all-new starting line. We want it perfect for everyone from street cars to Super E.T. all the way up to the Pro's. Rushing it at this point just isn't the logical thing to do." Please visit racewaypark.com for details, updates and photos of the new starting line in the coming days.

Bummer for you guys and gals, but great to hear that they plan to do it right the first time, ultimately saving everyone additional delays if it were done based on time schedule only, and had to be redone at a later date in the middle of prime racing season.

The proper temps for pouring the concrete won't be here for a while. But it is good to see them putting some of that cash back into the track.

Atco is doing the same thing, they needed it even worse though.

Is this why the entry fee has gone up?

I don't think the entry fee has gone up because of the new work just economics.

Rob, the reference to 50% is that it was $20 just three years ago.
But then a gallon of gas in NJ was .98 three years ago too.
