Stinner Racing

I decided to go to Old Bridge Township Raceway Park today and go drag racing. They gave out a copy of the track’s newspaper which I read while waiting to race. One of the news snippets caught my attention:

As we go to press, the news is breaking from Raceway Park management that the owners of Old Bridge Township Raceway Park just closed on the 100% purchase of New Jersey’s two other drag strips, Atco Raceway and Island Dragway, and are now owned by Raceway Park. Immediate plans by the new owners are to modernize both race tracks with all new grandstands, new three story over the track VIP suite buildings, fully paved pit and spectator parking areas, fresh concrete and track pavement, all new food and beverage restaurants and racing at least five days a week at each track. It was also announced that each track will be awarded a national event. The names of both Atco and Island will change, as multi million dollar facility naming rights deals have been signed with two major corporations. Lastly, you should be advised that what you’ve just read is completely false and is an April Fool’s Day joke on you!

As I was reading it, I was excited that there’d be more national events in the area. I’ve been to Island Dragway and the pit/spectator parking could definitely use a repaving. It pissed me off to read that it was an April Fool’s Day joke.
