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.

i would do it if you can find enough people to put down the $$. And you should be taking a deposit from everyone b/c most people would "say" they are coming and then back out

How expensive is VERY expensive, I would certainly spend some dough to track it for a day.

yeah, ive been itching to do this also, its just too much money. That along with the fact that there is such a high possibility to damage or seriously F up your car, is enough of a reason for me to just hang back for now...

hey guys i thought id throw this out there and say whats up, i was there yesterday and it was amazing! however its not all your cracking it up to be... the guy who usually does it said he got fired, he was such a nice guy, but he said its going down hill, the track is very abraisive and they dont maintain it.... i went for the intructional course yesterday which includes a membership fee so after u pay that u can run the track any time for like 100 bucks but anyway.... basically i made a whole documentary for a project with track cam and music and stuff, wondering if i should post it... but renting the track would be chill

edit: I can elaborate more on the day if any1 would like but for now i g2g ill be back

Thats Right. I have visited the track myself around 3 weeks before and did around 4-5 cold laps. There is nothing wrong with the track. It is the closest and cheapest track for us to run. Believe me, IF we can get around 20 people. We are paying around $200 each FOR THE WHOLE DAY. That is still cheaper than what the other Car Clubs charge us.

By the way, i have posted this on other forums too. I am gathering around 20 guys who are serious about this so we can go on and actually have a cruise to EnglishTown to Put the money down

LimeRock is alot of money. Lets just see how this one goes. If this day works out great, we can sure do 1 GTG for Limerock later.
So lets make a list of Who ever is in.
