Island Dragway is in Great Meadows NJ. Northwest NJ, near Hackettstown. Right off of route 46. Click the link....Track locater (http://www.chasinracin.com/track-locater/rtl_bytype.php?action=2&trackID=1024)

Jim..Nice launch picture!
Thanks Chris:) Hopefully when I get the rear back installed and the track dries out.....I will be doing a little better with that launch and get some new bests.

Look at the area I circled in red. That is the tree, the bottom bulb is just barely visible.:(

I used to live two miles from there. Loved to hear the racing on the weekends from my house. Ran the chevelle home with open headers more than once after racing.:yes:
That whole area around the dragstrip is sod farms. Should be nice and green this year!
