[E Town] Today..
JP Called a little while ago,and said it was a COMPLETE ZOO. He mentioned there might be over 500 cars and they we're on their first time trial since 9 a.m. :eek: I think He ran a 12.3X something last night @109 with the big tires and a 1.6X 60' That's impressive!
Hopefully He does well..despite all the cars.
Just an update.

500 was the max amount of cars they were going to tech today and I just talked to dennis and he said they were a ton of car that arn't going to be able to race. The pits are full and also the back lot and spector side.
THIS IS DUE TO THE POWER OF IMPORT RACING.

Re: [E Town] Today.. (Corzvette69)
You're right Guys. I went to Englishtown this past Wednesday. JP even warned not to go. It was like the fast and the furious! TONS of imports...slippery track. O well. I think they're here to stay.
I guess they'd also show up in flocks if CT Dragway Re-Opened.
500 Cars!! WOW :eek:

I talked to Panuzzo, he made 2 time runs from 9am to 3:30pm and now they were starting 1st. round. His call is 12.99 and faster, 3 full lanes of cars.

Re: [E Town] Today.. (mackeyred96)
Yikes! John P must be bouncing off the walls with impatience! I know I would be....but what can you do with that many cars... I guess it's to be expected. One thing is for sure, E Town made out alright today.
I should have had my intake gaskets done today! Too bad they won't get here 'til next week. O well.

I knew it would be this way, which is why I stayed home.

I just got back home and have seen tons of ricer fart cans all over the local streets and on Route 9 coming from ETown. All still had their shoe-polish numbers still on. No prob with Etown making money, but shouldnt we have some priority and not just on CC dates?????

Re: [E Town] Today.. (Mr Mojo)
So what are the best days/times to go? I went last Saturday, showed up at 12:30 and got 4 runs by the time I left at 3PM! That was acceptable. When are those days???????

Re: [E Town] Today.. (portmgr198)
Jay, this coming Friday and Saturday(15th & 16th) would be good days.
Friday is a regular street night with Gamblers & time shots.
Saturday is Mustang VS Buick/Pontiac, but it also is Real Street,Imports and Bikes.
Real Street is our regular street program when we aren't running Cartek Corvette Challenge.
Wednesday is muffled and unmuffled time trials.

Re: [E Town] Today.. (portmgr198)
Anytime there is a combined import race where will be alot of cars.
Plus they pay good money to win.
4 classes paying $500. to win and $600 for King Of The Hill.
$1100. for someone is not a bad payday.

Not to mention well over 500 spectators.
The way the stands were filled you would think John Force was going to be coming out of the tower. Sorry I did not have my camera.
Oh, i case you are wondering I went red in the first round.

Re: [E Town] Today.. (REDGAR)
In The first round, the guy I raced had a .956 light, was dialed in at 10.02 & ran 12.30 (a 3 sec package) & I had a .487 RED :mad & lost..
Maybe it was for the best, as I hit rain when I was almost home & my drag radials are about bald.. kinda scary on wet roads..& glad didn't have to stay any longer...
This was my LAST Import race EVER
