Old Bridge Township Raceway Park

Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, originally known as Madison Township Raceway Park, is an American auto racing facility located at Old Bridge Township, New Jersey (with an Englishtown ZIP code), in the New York metropolitan area. Raceway Park was opened in July 1965. Their radio and television commercials featured the slogan: "Ah ha ha ha ha ha Raceway Park!" and "Rrrrrrrrraceway Park! ... Be there!". Raceway Park "is one of the most fabled drag strips in America, and it ranks among the country's top five tracks".

Raceway Park was founded in 1965 by Vincent Napoliello and Louis Napoliello. The site was originally 308 acres on 230 Pension Road, just off of County Route 527 (now Englishtown Road). Since then it has grown to 500+ acres with multiple motorsports activities. The track opened with a single 1/4 mile dragstrip. Raceway Park now offers 2 dragstrips, 3 tracks, a 1.3-mile (2.1 km) road course track, competition go kart racing track, track, ride and drive site and adjacent Old Bridge Airport.

Raceway Park hosts the SuperNationals of the National Hot Rod Association for funny car and top fuel competitions. It hosts other drag racing events during the months of February through December.

Drag racing

The two dragstrips on the property are available for a large variety of vehicles.

The 1/8-mile track hosts the junior dragsters and "trophy" classes.

The 1/4-mile track hosts everything from street-driven vehicles to the quickest in the sport, the top fuel dragsters.

The riding surfaces on the practice motocross tracks are mostly soft loam, which is known to be one of the best surface for a nice ride, and are slightly angled to allow for drainage. The tracks are also regularly maintained to keep the jump faces, bowls, and whoops from rutting and cupping out. The tracks provide both good length straight paths for speed as well as challenging obstacles like off cambers, banks, ledges, ditches, and more.
