Island dragway opens on sunday March 5th. I am probly going to go, and i want to know if any cobalts want to meet up.

where is this "island dragway". never heard of it before....if its close enuf or if im bored, ill take a trip there. im on Long island, btw.

you can get directions from the web site

this is good. a lil far away but heck I will prob make the trip just to run my car unless i have work. I would probably get in there as they open too so I get teh whole day out of it.

You can usually get more runs than you do at E-town.

jus mapquested it. 2hrs 20 mins. holy shiznit. i will have to see how willing i am to drive that day.

^^^ 111 miles also :thumbsdow
i wonder how many speeding tickets id get in that long trip :twothumbs

I know it is far, but it is about the same distance as E-town is.

bump this up for people that want to go to the track

sad as it is...ive never been to a track. what do i need to bring if i decide to go? just a helmet, jeans, and a long sleeve shirt? no gloves or anything right? and ofcourse, some cash :)

Just make sure that you have pants on and some money. If you don't have a helmet they will rent you one.

do you plan on going as early as possible? im going to try hard to get there...i might not make any runs but ill see if i can get some free time.

I am probly going to be there from open to close.

Bump

e-town opens this weekend

owowowow!!

I think I will be going to Etown on saturday morning
*drools*

I will probly be at E-town but i am not going to race.
$40 for maby 3 runs is not worth it

Alex, ya such a whore. lol I'm goin to island i THINK that 1st day with the monte. and for most ppl Alex, it aint that close :guns:

If I got there at opening you think it would be a nasty wait to run?

-Rich

naa man, not at all. U get there at OPEn, you'll go threw inspec, and be in! like 15-20 min no 1 up there ever gets there at open! then again, never been there on the 1st day


n e 1 in LI, i wouldn't even really consider this, i'm 2 min from the GWB, and its like an hr drive from there.....

$40.......where are you getting that from....on a normal drag night wednesday/friday it ranges from $26 on wednesday and $20 on friday....we got 7 runs in the first wednesday it was open and 9 in that friday...last year

yeah but I think it is $40 cause they calling it "Test and Tune" vs. Time Trials.

-Rich

oh he was talking about saturday and sunday.....i never go on those days.....unless it for a show or something.....keep it to wednesdays and fridays. also....the cobalt meet is this saturday so it's not even a thought in my mind about going to e-town

Cobalt Meet?

Wheres that?

fuddruckers on rt. 1 in new brunswick at 3pm......where about in jersey are you from?

Man i hate that place i rather try and go to atco or e-town. I can never find traction there.

I'd go, but my fuckin clutch will not hold a hard 1st to 2nd shift at times! Sucks to cause I just ordered GM stage 1 which the guy called me today to tell me GM informed him that the kits will be sent to them next week.

alex, stupid question...i have a restricted license cause i was stupid...will i be allowed to run at the tracks?

yeah you will be fine.

BUMP less then a week left

Bump for darksuns post, i went there with my srt and same trap speed as englishtown (97 when i was stock) but different et, i went 14.3 at etown and 14.8 was the best i could manage? Wierd track, not to mention the right lane is freakin rutted, you can actually see the bumps in the pavement if you look closely.

well alex and everybody...i just called island dragway for shits and giggles. i asked them about racing with me having a restricted license. bad news, not allowed to run! bah!! that sucks. i was looking foward to running my car but oh well, right? i still plan to go but i guess ill just be a spectator.

Try to run your car and see if you can get away with it. If they say you can't just play dumb.

i dont understand why you couldnt run. they let the juniors run and most dont have licenses. o well. definately trying to go but 2.5hrs to get there WHOA. and i have to be in coram by 6 that night.

Ok Just to figure out who is going I will start a list.

1. Alex47 (me)
2 Dredd (my boy with a yellow srt-04)
3.JAESS (maybe)
4.
5.

bump it up

Never liked that track but since I might take the cobalt put me in as a maybe.

I just can't do it. I reallly hate island dragway. That crap is not FWD friendly. Comon alex you've seen what that place does do fwd cars. Look at psichick didn't see run only 12's there when she's been in the 11's with the same setup at e-town.

She never even hit 11's anywhere. Her best time EVER is a 12.45 @ 113.
I am not going there to get an amazing time. I just want to pratice and island is the place to do it, you get more runs for less money, plus if i can get good at island i will kick ass at E-town.

bump

alex, did u go today? if so, how was the turn out?

I went today and they were closed. I sat there for 15 min with a bunch of other pissed off people. I gave up and went back to my friends who lived 15 min away.
I will be going next sunday but this time i will call first.
