Default Island Dragway in NJ?

Does anyone have any experience with Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ? I'm looking for somewhere to go tonight since E-town has the Matco Supernationals this weekend. If Island has a lousy surface though, I'm not going to bother. Just wondering if anybody had some input. Thanks.

We used to go there back in the day on street night. The surface wasnt great but you usually get a decent amount of runs in. The end of the track was really poorly lit , but I dont know if they fixed that . In my opinion, its a good track to practice launching, shifting,etc. so then you got your stuff down pat for E-town. If you go, lets see some time slips when you get back. good luck

It may be ghetto, but it's better than waiting a lifetime in the staging lanes just to get one lousy pass at overcrowded, ricer/thief infested E-town. Island is low-budget but it serves it's purpose = Lots of time trial passes for test & tune.

It is a slow track. I ran .4 slower there than I did at E-Town. This was in my 98 Prelude on a 75 shot. Same mods and always same results.
