Default Gathering interest for end of May E-Town get together?

I havent been to E-Town yet, would like to go there before the baby comes. Would anybody else want to join, end of May ok for you guys, preferances? I heard E-Town is more strict than ATCO, ATCO is close to me, but probably far far away from you guys. I think the crowd in E-town might be different too, mostly domestic at ATCO

Anyway, whos interested?

Am in like we discussed, E-town is where most of the new york guys go to. How you get to ATCO from the NJ turnpike? Does is get crazy packed at ATCO? Some days in E-town are only domestic and some days are imports. I want to see what day we can go, I went on a saturday once and they were letting people run all day because it was died.

I worry about you car at E-town since you said there more strict.

Englishtown is definitely more strict, and the track is less forgiving on transmissions and diffs lol

I'd be in, but for anyone without a fire jacket, roll bar, or hard top, you are stuck doing 14 second quarter miles. Last time i was there, I was forced to buy a fire jacket and couldn't go below 13 seconds without being possibly kicked out; just FYI. Island, btw, is substantially more lenient in that regard.

etown is nice & very well prepped, just make sure your car and your gear could pass the tech inspection. I've always gotten in around 3 or 4 runs on test n tune days, and that's getting there around noon. Island is more lenient but to me it's kinda "bootleg", it's like a drag strip on a farm, and those guys are slow to clean up the track whenever something happens.

ATCO is super laid back and usually empty, but I know it's far away from you guys. I don't mind island, but I hear the run off is kind of short and the track is never prepped.......

Imight add a poll

ATCO
ENGLISHTOWN
ISLAND

I know for aftermarket turbo you need a jacket, in the 13's you need helmet, but what else is needed? 11.5 or less is a roll bar correct?
