Default Island Dragway in NJ, poorly managed.

I took Friday off, got the car ready, picked up the trailer and a friend. Another friend was going to meet us there and have some racing fun. Checked their web site and gates opened at 6pm. So, took the 2 hrs and 15 min ride. First on line.... Guy comes out and tells us, "We are closed this weekend". WHAT!!!

They never bothered to update their web site which they tell people to use on face book by the way, to check the schedule.

I will never go there again, I'm going to stick to Lebanon Valley Dragway. Screw Island, it cost me between gas and trailer rental $130! I was F&^%*#! fit to be tied..

Damn I know the feeling I just drove 2 hours in traffic to Atco and called numerous times for updates all which stated anything can run and closing at 6-7pm I get there at 3pm after a lot of traffic and the woman at the booth just says " You can't run, 20 to spectate".

Nope, just that they decided to close. I was not happy!

There all like that. When it gets real late in the season. If alot of cars dont show up they'll shut em down early. I guess they figure it's not worth paying people. Bad business.
