Maple Grove Sold? You heard it from me!

[70-SS/RS-L78]

Due to development E-Towns days are numbered. Sad but true!
The Grove… No Way!! For the time being The Housing Market is bust and there are too many available farms within
a 100 radius that could be had much cheaper. That is if Toll or Morrissey don’t already own them.
I know of at least 3 housing development's that are being put on hold due to the fact that they can’t sell the
the finished units without some serious incentives. On top of the recent raw material cost increase……
Unfortunately this is going to affect a lot of people, From the developers down to the tradesman…

E-Town....I think it's another rumor. Last year they had a big " town Hall" Meeting aboput it's closing,noise etc. As far as I know The Napp family states they are not going anywhere

I was at that meeting when the new politicos tried to shut down the E-Town racetrack. Pro E-towns were 2 to 1 and pretty much made their feelings known. Politicos dropped out quick after that.

Thank you Charlie, I will be there next year. I am going to be careful in the way that I say this because I do not want anyone to be offended, I usually do not post comments that can be read the wrong way, and I will not start now. The original post is about Maple Grove, but there was a post that said that Raceway Park ("Englishtown")'s days are numbered. Raceway Park was founded by my best friend and his brother with the backing and support of their dad and their uncle, unfortunately all four previously mention men have passed away, all of the sons now running the facility have no desire to sell or close the track. If anything more money has been invested into the future of the facility. I have worked at RP since 1988 when I was 18 years old and now become one of the announcers. Raceway Park's days are not numbered. Come out and visit us this weekend for our NHRA points race and enjoy, any club member is always welcomed to visit me up in the booth. No insult or disrespect is sent, the track is up and running strong. Thanks Andrew

Hey Andrew, I will look you up Sunday. I go to the points race every year at RP! I talked to you at York this year. Sam

Andrew,
You must be the guy I've been reading about who several wanted to do the announcing at the Reunion!!

I started going to E-town in '66 when the pits were on the right side and mostly gravel. I remember the fun days with Berserko Bob.

I agree, RP's days are not numbered. The yuppies who moved in close recently and raised a stink were shot down. There's not much more land around that place for another wave of the same ignorance.

Money talks, and the mass of businesses around the track will continue to be the track's best support, along with the racers themselves!

I REALLY hope you guys are right, I have been going to E-Town since the late 60's and I would hate to see it go.
The pressure has been on the Napp's for noise for years now...

This rumor just surfaced again this week. A buddy of mine runs points at maple and he heard the same thing from other racers this past week. I have also heard that maple was sold from other people who have no interest in drag racing. I know someone who lives about 500 feet from the main gate at the track. The next time i see him i will ask him what the scoupe is.
