Shelby3 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Just curious if you guys ever rented a drag strip for the day. I'm interested but not sure where to leave my name. It would be nice to run a bunch of Shelby's for a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 My buddy rents Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY early June. Where are you thinking to rent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to run a bunch of Shelby's for a day! John Keller (GT50040th) had one rented for the 2013 Team Shelby Nationals. I know it was in the Carlisle area but due to weather only one person (Ilmor) showed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby3 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 My buddy rents Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY early June. Where are you thinking to rent? I was thinking Atco, Englishtown or Maple Grove but I would run to NY. Not sure how far up that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby3 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 It's far up, right next to MA. I'd wouldn't mind going to Atco. I think we need 20 guys to rent the place from 9:00AM to 4:00PM. I think it is $250 for the day. I left a message to GT50040th. May be he can round up some guys. I plan on calling the track to see if we can leave our names on a list or something so if someone is setting it up and are short of people we could attend.

Secondo Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 $250 is pretty steep. I pay $50 at ours. We should try to find another group to join with. In the past, I've seen some other forum groups have drag days- SVT Owners, Mustang Junkies, etc. I'll see if I could find some. Keep an eye out for one.

07gt500conv Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 We rent the Orlando track for about 55 / day. Its limited to 20-25 people. Great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind driving a bit to get there but Orlando is a little too far from SEPA. I do have a house in Port St. Lucie but we can't make it this year. May be next year. How many runs do you get in a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Where is your strip? I will look around also. Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, NY. We get as many runs as we can run all day, usually about 15 runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT2899 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm near Lebanon valley, so I'd be interested in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueByU Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 The Garden State Region Mustang Club (GSRMC) does (2) two drag days each year. One in the spring time and one in the fall both at Englihtown. You get a tuner run plus 3-three passes. Check out the website. GSRMC.org.

I get 3 runs in Englishtown when I go on Wednesday night. I need more practice to bring my 60ft down and that is why it would be nice to get 15-20 runs. I will check it out and appreciate your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby3 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I agree. What are the closest tracks to you? Atco, Englistown or Maple Grove are all about 1-1/2 hour away from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I've been to Englishtown and wouldn't mind going there again, about 3-1/2 hour drive; I've always wanted to get to Atco because its a fast track. I'll look up the mileage and travel time. Don't know about Maple although I've heard of it. I'm in CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTPirate Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Atco gets my vote. I've been there 3 times and even the time that I got there at 7pm I was still able to get 8 runs. I've gotten 9 and 10 passes the other two times. At the end of the night you can pretty much get 3 or 4 in a row. you're pretty much hot lapping it. Which is pretty cool if your car can take it. The two times I've been to Englishtown I've only been able to get 2 passes each night. So I probably won't go back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportscars Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Amazing how much rental prices vary across the country. Las Vegas wants about $15,000 to rent their 1/4 mile track. Here in San Antonio they wanted about $5k (before it closed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
