How about the McLaren f1 that needed to be driven on a track when it got its tires replaced

These hpyercars are pretty much f1 card with a Vin that can be driven on the road

Funny thing. You need to bring it to a shop that specializes in changing oil in the Bugatti. Its around $21k the reason being is because you need to disassemble parts of the rear and frame to reach the filters which also requires specialized tools made by Bugatti themselves and only sold to a handful of people, I used to work at Raceway park in NJ and it was one of only 2 shops in NJ that was capable of doing it. The Insurance company REQUIRES you to pay a oil change insurance fee in order to get it done because the engine can be blown if done incorrectly.

I'm curious about what you said troop, I too live in NJ and I've been to raceway Park numerous times and not once in my time there have I seen any oil change or even any commercial auto garages on the property so how is it that raceway park is a repair shop and not a recognized NHRA drag track that unfortunately shut down due to their jerk off neighbors complaining of the noise even tho they were there first

Yep. I always admired how much money these rich dudes put in their cars. There is a Super car demo day called Supercar Xperiences and the absolute cheapest cars to repair and work on were Ferrari and Lambos. The Mclarins and Porsches were an absolute nightmare in terms of price. I doubt they even brake even with the $200 per lap.

I saw a Bugatti at the autoshow last year, they are spectacular machines
the guys that own em are crazy aswell. Drive it in the winter and has a huge collection in one of the IL suburbs

For that kinda dough I'd rather have a street legal prerunner

They rebuilt into a drift track and are starting up drag soon again. Its unfortunate but they may permanently keep NHRA out for good. BTW the garages were built for the Napps. You can usually see some Crown vics parked near it. The old dude who lives up stairs with his green Jeep is the mechanic.

I'd buy a bunch of cheap ls430s and pimp them out in everything way just kidding

@Troopermaniac gotcha. And yea im aware about them using the road track for drifting. Formula D made an appearance there way back

 

[Troopermaniac]

Here's the last image of the track before they tore it up. Also here's what the overlook room looks like.

 

[Rep732]

That's cool, I've never been In there and did they actually rip up the strip? I heard talk about it being a concert venue how true is that?

well its still partially there, It can still be used as a drag however new rules dictate that they have to make the strip longer due to a death that happened a few years back and its all swampland forward on. I believe it will reopen one day but not soon. During the winter months they use the empty space as a car storage for junk cars. When Hurricane sandy hit, a year later all the insurance claimed cars filled all the lots. They made WAY more money doing that then they did with racing.

The track would be crossing the road coming into the track if they extended it. When I was a kid we hopped the fence at the end and boy let me tell you the security didn't like that

ACTUALLY I just checked the maps and it seems they cleared it all up and put up a new building. weird... I haven't worked there in a while so I'm out of the loop.

BTW I was security and I never gave a fiddlestick.

 

[Z.hb71]

Id love to own a Ferrari 812

 

[Milo]

I know, I was bringing in some friendly banter.


Actually yeah unfortunately they are. I found out you have to replace the entire brake system after every 30k miles due to how it wears. The carbon fiber rims loose their shape after 60k miles and the tires are specifically made for the Bugatti making them cost $42000 per front tire. IDK the rear. The headers and turbos need replacing every 7k miles due to how hot they get. Literally melted. The engine straight up doesn't work without them due to the tune. It isnt easy going 260mph

Straight up horse poop.

 

[Rep732]

I love this place , somehow

 

[Milo]

Maybe it’s me but European cars are definitely even a Bug are not that expensive to run. It’s arbitrary anyway because of you have one you can afford to run it unless you have no brain cells.

 

[Rep732]

Yea milo I agree if you can afford to buy one you can afford to fix it and I would like to believe that they were informed of the maintenance costs

Last time I ran at that drag strip was in 2005. That place has changed over the past 17 years. Place my group raced at were Island Dragway in Great Meadows NJ (Friday night, unlimited runs for $50), a few times at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton PA. Those were the two closest tracks to Lehigh Valley PA. It was fun while it lasted. I have not ventured out to the local track outside of Kinston. They only run the 1/8 mile there.
