Question about E-Town
I plan on heading to the track for the first time on Wednesday night. I was under the impression that wednesday's were "test and tune" but on the schedule it shows "Time Trials" What is the difference?? Can I go to a time trial if I just want to run my car a few times and get a feel for what it is like to race?

Yes, you can run, depending on how many people are there, you might only get 2 runs in, but last time I went on a Wednesday I got 3 runs in.

Re: Question about E-Town (Mr Mojo)

Re: Question about E-Town (lostsoulny)
"Racing" starts at 6 p.m., the gates open at 5 p.m. GET THERE EARLY AND YOU USUALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GETTING 3 or 4 PASSES. If you are willing to "Hot Lap" your car you can sometimes see 3 passes before 7 p.m. (that's if nobody breaks of course) :yesnod:

Early means yes between 2 and 5. 4:30 might be good. Hot lap means you make one pass after another which gets the car hot.

There are still 5 Napp's running the place, I would think even after Rich and Vince gone they would keep it going as a family business.
Now if we could just get everyone who lives near there to move.

No news is good news but ANYTHING could be possible.
Remember we're talking about a family and a lot of money.
Money brings out the worst in people. I hope that doesn't happen here.

Re: Question about E-Town (StingrayRacing)
I'd bet the most recent rumor started 'cause they sold some land up near the flea market last year.... then they invested in the road course. I wouldn't worry about it :D

Re: Question about E-Town (MarkLT1)
Well.. after all this, with the questions and excitement I had for today.. last night I come to find out my brake pads are shot... :mad .. something I should have taken care of long ago.. Needless to say, the last thing I want to do is race with bad brakes, so my "opening night" is going to have to wait until next week.. :(
BTW: Anyone in central Jersey want to help me replace my pads?? Sucks not having a garage.. ;)
