Island Dragway closes down for good.Hated to hear this.

 

oh man, I loved going to that place. HAdn't run in two years, was just finishing up my car to get it ready for the spring to take it there to dial it in.
Sucks to hear

 

Lets hope someone buys it and reopens.

 

Yeah, we're fortunate to have several tracks within a few hours drive and would hate to lose any of them!!! Maybe another track will take over managing it, sounds like the easiest solution.

 

my first trip to the track was there with my dad when i was a kid. shame. this is happening all over and then they wonder why there is so much street racing...

 

This has been a hot topic on yellow bullet, about 35+pages. I always had fun there and the track prep was always pretty good and you got a ton of runs in which made up for the track elevation and the dirt road full of holes as you pulled in.Sucks to see it go cause E-town is just not w.orth going to for a test and tune day.

 

This SUCKS. First time on a track was at Island. Got a good amount of runs per night.

 

That sucks. I don't get there often, but the few times I've gone over the past 11 years, you can get a lot of runs. Also opened later in the year than LVD, and not as crowded as Etown.

Hopefully it gets bought. I remember about 10 years ago when the LI tracks closed, really made it difficult for the guys out there.

 

That's terrible news. Haven't been there in a couple of years but it was great getting 15 runs in an hour if you go on the right day.

 

That sucks i loved going to Island.You could get alot of runs in and you would always see some crazy stuff there.First time i ever seen a 10 sec snowmobile.

 

I heard that the DEP or DER was involved as well as the IRS, and possibly that the track cant be sold and reopened, but has to stay in the family to remain a track. I know a few people that know the owner, but not sure whats true, tons of stuff goin round
