Englishtown was the first track I raced at. I raced there for years after that. Then I took 12 years off to build my business and also completely rebuild my car. I changed literally everything on the car. The first time back at the track, of course I go there for a Sunday test and tune event. I roll in at 11 am and pay my 50 bucks for 3 passes and they are advertised to be open for racing until 4:30. At 11:30 a track employee comes by and says hurry up, we are closing asap. There were at least 50 cars there, the Jr track was running the season finals, airport open, mx track open, and drifting track open. Now I have to hot lap a new car and rusty driver? The reason was there wasn't a big enough turnout for them to keep their staff there supposedly. Then I remembered back that the staff was never really pleasant and often rude, at least that's how they seemed to me. I started going to Atco after that and never went back. A much better attitude towards the customer in my opinion. I really hate to see them close, but I don't think they cared about the average racer.
