Island Raceway..nice people weird experience.....

the people were very friendly there, but do they always use a PRO TREE??? on friday street night??? Thats weird... i guess its to get cars through more quickly?

The people were great, but between getting yelled at by the burnout guy because I pulled before he told me too when I was 50ft away and it was to dark to see him, being forced to rent a helmet because mine isnt snell approved, a PRO TREE???, that gravel road that was even hard on my trailer to get down, and getting gas dumped down my arm and shirt as I held a gas can that was getting filled in the tracter trailer they sell it out of......i didnt have such a great night LOL...

and then there was the track. Do they do anything to it...any kind of prep on street night? I have never spun my tires so bad before!!! IT WAS FUN, but didnt lead to the new best ETs I was hoping for on what turned out to be a beautiful night weatherwise

I don't mean to bash island. If I had a slower street car I would be there all the time if it was more local for me and like I said the people including most of the staff just not the burnout box guy... were very nice. Oh the other thing was that they didnt let you spin your tires in the water and then do your burnout.. He actually had me start my burnout in the water.. That was weird I thought...

I would go back again but only if etown and atco are both unavailable..

...

OH i didnt mean to put down the gas guy. He was a nice guy and didn't mean to spill gas on me. I'm just used to gas pumps...

Yeah the Snell thing is NHRA but most tracks dont enforce it...

It was just the entire experience was weird and I was upset I didnt run a new best et on such a cool night.

It could have been much worse because as I took off my hitch the next day I realized that the locking part of it had fallen off and I was driving around pulling my car on the trailer with nothing holding the pin in the hitch. I am going back to the good old fashion one with the codder pin that holds it in...
