Rotorslam 2011 - Sat June 25th - Etown Raceway, NJ

Guys,

This post is to welcome all rotary powered vehicles to Englishtown Raceway on Saturday June 25th. For those who don't know, SummerSlam is one of the biggest drag racing events in the NE. Some of the fastest Rotaries from Puerto Rico battle some of the fastest rotaries in the US. It is by far one of my favorite events.

The event organizer, Javier Ortega, is a rotorhead and a personal friend. I asked him if it was possible to have an area of the track sectioned off just for the rotary guys and he will set that up. Everyone would have to pay the normal entrance fee, no money goes to anyone except the track.

It would give everyone an area to talk and meet the other forum members and just hang out. Each year myself, Roan, Ernie, Turbotommy, Jim@JPR, Rx7aholic, Judge Ito Enzo, etc all attend this event. There will be no car show (unless you guys want one) it's just a meet where you can show off your rotary related ride, talk rotaries and have some fun.

I will update this thread with more info as I get it.

Vendors, pm me with any questions.

Also, to get things going, check out the flyer for the event.

Thanks,

Anthony

Also a big thank you to Javier Ortega for using the local rotaries on event flyers!

He used my car for the northeast tuner (below), Ernie's car for summer slam and I just sent him a few shots of Roan's car.

the 26th is the day of the actual race, but the 25th is the day that we are having Rotorsam.most ppl are going both days. again, the rotorslam event is a chance for everyone to get together and hang out, talk cars, ect and put some faces to names. sunday would be way too busy and hectic for that, especially for the ppl that are racing on sunday.
