Road course at englishtown raceway park

Howcome no one ever goes to that track?
from what i've heard its been done and open for use for like 2 years.
i havent found any websites of organizations that go there for track days, but on raceway parks website it says to call to rent the track.
Why dont we do that???
The cost to rent the track for the day (mon-thurs) including ambulance, and fire truck comes out to $3800
if we get enough people...like just 18 people, then its only $200 each. the more people the less the cost. lets try to get this together....keep in mind that booking like a month in advance is the way to go to insure we get the day, or days we want.

NO, im talking about the Road Course not the 1/4 mile. I have posted this Thread on different forums to gather atleast 20 guys who are serious for the whole day.
20 Guys means, Alot more Laps, No 1 on our head to give bull****s like different car clubs. And it Going to be around $200.
Lets see how many guys we can gather up from this forum.

Hm I'd be very interested in this depending on the date and how accurate that price tag is. Is that $3800 for the day a pretty solid number?

I've been to that track a couple of times. You can just go to a track day when the director of the course chris winter has openings. The first time you pay 250. You have to take the class and have instruction.After the first time its 150 for the open track. I got more than 5 sessions last time I went. I had to go and get gas between sessions. The schedule is on their website.

I just did an autox there two or three weeks ago... maybe your looking in the wrong spot?

If you want track time why don't you join a club like the SCCA and go do a PDX or something?
