Englishtown closed years ago, but it was supposed to be due to noise. Looks like the parking lot is a go kart track now, and the old 1/4 mile track is a parking lot?

Anyone know?

So all those vehicles are salvage?

I do remember when the ZR-1 jumped the curb after breaking through the fencing, ending up in the lake. 2004 or 2005?

actually the neighbors were all upset and found out the hard way this is worse on noise... 24/7 flow of trucks bringing cars in and taking them away. What a waste of a historic dragstrip and legacy, shame on the family.
