Default Redline Time Attack Aug 29-30

Just trying to get an idea of who will be at this Englishtown event. Despite the all the talk of how bad this track may or may not be and having driven on it 3 times previously before the improvements, I decided to register to compete in street RWD. It should be interesting...

Should be a really strong turnout, but from a competitor, and more importantly....from a spectator turnout. Yeah, we all know the track is nothing spectacular, and really short, but points are point.

We'll be there with the Forged Performance GT-R.

Comparing Summit Point to E-Town would be like the comparing Road Atlanta to Little Taledega.

Summit Point's smaller circuit was actually a ton of fun. At eTown, it's unlikely anyone will get out of 3rd gear.

I recall the discussion several months back. RTA got booted from the orginal track, which was NJ Motorsports Park. So in a mad scramble, the only track available in the general region was e-town. They figured it would be better to have a smaller track, but MUCH larger fan base, so eTown was it.
