There are several other posts here about it.....

THANKS I JUST FOUND THIS ABOUT IT AS WELL - JZ

"The final hurdle for Thunderbolt Raceway is to see Governor Corzine sign
the Sports and Entertainment District legislation (Bill # A 1054) that has
been approved in the NJ Assembly and not yet heard in the senate economic
growth committee and the full senate. The bill needs to be signed by
Governor Corzine in December for NJMP to break ground in Feb-March 2007.

"Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew, the leading sponsor of A 1054 has asked that we
all respectfully contact Senator Ray Lesniak, who holds the keys to the
senate approval of the bill. Senator Lesniak chairs the senate economic
growth committee, and he must agree to hearing the unaltered version of the
assembly bill A 1054 in his committee and release the bill to the full
senate, where Senate President Codey must agree to place the bill for a full
senate vote.

"Senator Lesniak can be contacted as follows:

senlesniak@njleg.org

telephone: 908 624 0880

"He resides in Union, NJ and is an attorney. He is quite familiar with the
legislation, so please either e-mail him or call his staff to voice your
support and desire for the Senator to move this bill as soon as possible, so
Governor Corzine can sign the bill in December.
"Please take a moment from your day to contact the senator. Please spread
the word. If each of us makes contact with him, it will surely make a
difference."

Thanks, Chris

The Honorable Ray Lesniak,

I write in support of Sports and Entertainment District legislation (Bill #
A 1054) to facilitate the development of Thunderbolt Raceway in Millville.
This project will produce wonderful economic benefits to Millville and the
surrounding area, drawing tens of thousands of race and track enthusiasts
and their families, including me. I urge you to progress this bill as
expeditiously as possible so that construction may begin early next year.

i hope it happens. i'd be mad happy if it did

yeah, that would prolly become the second hoem of many memebrs here if it did come through. :)

whys it gotta be so far away? :(

you got that and id be buying another bike..

If this goes down as a full blown road course, i am defenitly going all out and finishing for a road racing suspension!

You guys will change your tune when you see thier membership prices... I looked into it... I sure as hell they have an economical "test and tune" style events like Atco and the like.

i will try to give the organizers a call and see if i can get any updated info on progress or what bills to bother our reps about to help them get it done.
if that place opened the 76 woudl have an LS2+T56 and road racing suspension on it in under a week :)

it wont be far for me at all! finally something close, however there wont be any dragstrips, contrary to what anyone may think. ive gotten into so many arguments with people over that.(i just wanna punch them in the face, im soo tired of hearing about it) Im in the carpenters union, and that willl be a nice job for us union guys; We talk about it at our meetings sometimes and i looked at the literature on it [the track] and there is nothing on there about a drag strip. ANNNNDD the MAJOR PITA is those stupid tree huggers protesting it, slowing down the process. sorry if any of you guys are tree huggers

btw, from what ive heard from the meetings, theyre looking to break ground this spring-- but thats what i heard last year too....

damn thats far. i guess Local 102 wont get that one

The posted plans have nothing about a drag strip.

apparently i know people on the inside...my high school chemistry teacher's husband is into that track big time. when i stop by to visit her next week ill let you guys know what i find.

its not that far from me. It's less than a mile away. I've also heard that they plan breaking ground in the spring.
