Now They'll Have Sunday, Sunday, Sunday Off

The end -- of drag racing there, that is -- has come for Raceway Park, Englishtown, New Jersey's legendary drag strip, which announced that it will no longer host drag races, blaming the cost of racing -- fuel, insurance, tires, etc. It's a shame in that there are no people of a certain age who can't imitate the track's unforgettable WABC radio commercials -- "Ah ha ha ha ha, Racewaaaaaaaay Park!" -- but they'll keep the place open (for now) as a concert venue and motocross track as well as a motor sports school. (I'd expect it to become a housing tract at some point, because land in Central Jersey's way too valuable.) (NJ Advance Media/NJ.com)
