well from posting back and forth in the NE bbs most people like the 7th as a day to go to Etown
if u don't know the 7th is a regular drag day as well as the IMPORT SURVIVAL SERIES IV which is basically a rice show but nonetheless there will be nice rides there
tons of dragging tons of hooked up cars what more could u ask for .. (don't answer that!)
also for the local people the 6th (FRI.) is a regular test and tune drag day and some of us will be headin down on the 6th to drag.. me for one and i think Chris91SE also ?
u could drag on the 7th too if u like but i'd prefer to enjoy the show on that day ..
well anyway i'm new to the board (not to max's however read the sig) and i didn't know if we needed to tell Etown we wuz comin or whatever .. if we go i'd like to get a nice spot with all the max's
right now i'd like to let every1 know whats goin on!
So mark your calendars.. its prolly the last show b4 winter
hope all will attend..
SPREAD THE WORD

I am there
I'll be coming down. Hmm.... drags on friday... 
What time would that happen? I'm kinda curious about how my car would do. Anyways, I think I'll be caravanning (if thats a word) down w/ Chris91SE. See you there.

Nice to see some interest
in Englishtown. I am usually the only one at these races
and have to hang with the 300Z guys. There are usually 15
Zs that show and one lonely maxima.
I will be returning from my vacation on Saturday but will
be at the Sunday event. There will be one more Import event
on November 5th incase you miss the upcoming one.
This has been something that I have tried to get other maxima owners to come too.
Everything is there, food, restrooms, racing, car shows and above all the standard
meet and greet other owners.

yup yup
i believe drag fees are 35$ and i think you need a helmet .. o not to mention that we need to either meet in the general parkin lot cuz the parkin lot in the back gets full easily and i think you need to pay a fee for that too ... so we need to head down early so we can be there ...last import show i went to - the Tanabe Skyline was there at that one ... it was Very hot bring water and ice and stuff and maybe even food - take the most obscure directions cuz most ppl take the easy way which is always packed and ummmm
Get there early cuz the lot fills up quick and it closes - no entry after 1 i believe so if we wanna park together get Spots .... this is all i can recall from last time i went which was a while ago ... some with previous experiance care to comment ?
=P

GREAT
its great to see respones
okay let me answer a few ques:
Supa Lao: FRIDAY
Gates Open 5:00 pm, Eliminations begin 8:00 pm. Tech Closes 9:00 PM.
$7 Pit/Crew
so that's what goes on Friday i'd get there at 5:00 so you could get in an extra run maybe
rules on on the etown page... go check it out
i know u got to get your car tech'd .. (inspected)b4 u run
also a helmet is a must
check the page also for the prices...
pretty sure $20 to get drag but if its your first time u gotta buy a number..
Jeff: thanx for the info.. sorry u won't be there i still haven't seen u run .. it seems everytime u go i don't.. dam
but i'll make plans for Nov. 5th
Stillnmax: yes we need to get there early thas why i suggest meeting sumwhere on the road in a parkin lot right b4 the entrance to etown and we could drive in together. yeah there's always phat cars there (skyline.. to bad it lost to that rice machine) yeah i'll post the best directions later if we decide to meet sumwhere b4

How's this going to work now?
I'm interested in a meet but don't want to run (must get L10). BTW, do they supply/rent helmets if you don't own one?
What'll it cost for us all to meet up in the parking lot? Where exactly do we meet? Oh, and I'll need directions coming from Princeton NJ (rte 206 or 287).
Thanks!
Jim

at us Z owners actually show up to the drag races, not like the big whopping two-four Maximas that show ROFL That's sad considering that more Maximas are sold in 10 months than over the 7 years the Z32s were sold in the US.
how are the PIAAs working out for you, Jeff?

exit 8, 8A, or 9 of the NJ turnpike. That'll give you a general area. Visit the site and look at the directions.
I'll be there definately on Sunday. I don't know about Saturday yet

Me and 2 friends are planning on coming on friday afternoon to watch the drags and then sleep at a motel or something and check out the show on saturday.
Count me in!
BTW- i don't think i'll be dragging on friday since
a). i have no power mods yet and
b). i can't really launch too good and i'm not a huge fan of making an *** out of myself
Keep me informed of any changes though!

Re: hmm
well i can only go for saturday since i play in a football league on sunday's and can't miss a game...
i hope everyone still goes on saturday...i think that even if the event isn't so great (there still will be races and a show) it would be cool to have a meet and a good number of maximas representing....
im down for a few runs on the track then on saturday too since i have never done it before
