My wife and I travel to quite a few of the events and your schedule page with the links to all the tracks is a great idea, we use it all the time. We will be at the Englishtown race this year for the first time, so we will make our way over to the tower to meet you and talk to you about seats for next year. Thanks again, Tom&Linda Sikins,Boston,Mass

Wow, love the site. Cool pictures. can't wait to see the video clips page once you get it up and running. You guys should put an add in National Dragster so everyone can find out about what you do. I think that you would have a flood of people beating your doors down to get into your suites. I'll keep checking back from time to time to see the new stuff that you add. Rob

I LOVE THE SITE BECAUSE IT'S GOT LOTS AND LOTS OF INFORMATION WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T ALWAYS FIND AT OTHER RACE SITES....THEY ONLY GIVE SOME BASICS WHERE YOU GUYS SPELL IT ALL OUT. GREAT SITE!!!!!

I've been going to E-Town since 1988,had the pleasure to be a guest in the old small tower that used to be on the right side of the track. And now for years I've watched a lot of the people who get credentials for the tower free from some business or another. Most of them it seems couldn't give a HOOT about Drag Racing one way or another! Now that I've found you guys I can finally get in there myself. It's good to see that some honest to god fans are in there to! Thanks Alan, Scott M.

I have been going to Englishtown now for about 18 years with my dad and we have spent many a day sitting in the bleachers either freezing or frying. I am so thrilled to have found your site. Since the event now falls on fathers day weekend, I just can't think of a better reason for all of us dads to spoil ourselves in your suites with the rest of the family. I sure hope that you will have room for us. Anyway we will be talking to you at the race in June. Thanks for a great concept, Mark & Ted Owens,Bristol Tn.

I'm 87 years old and I was around drag racing when the starter used flags. I still go to some of the events with my grandsons and we really have a great time. The only problem is my butt and hips have a tough time with the rock hard bleachers, so I just bring some pillows to sit on. My grandson showed me your web site and I think that this could be a welcomed change. We hadn't planned on going to Englishtown this year but I think that we might have to make an exception so that we can meet and talk to you about next year. Hope to get to see you at the race.

I was just introduced to NHRA last year for the first time and i had a blast. I can see myself getting more and more hooked on the sport. I stumbled onto your site and once I read what you offer I'm thinking to myself wow this just keeps getting better. I will contact you at Maple Grove so that I can talk to you about seats for next year. Gee this might even get my wife's attention so that she can go to the race also and stop belly aching about me going...Oh well we'll see.

My son showed me your web site and a light bulb lit in my head. This race is held on fathers day weekend and what an awesome gift for a father or husband. I truly think this is one of those gifts that he will never forget. I think that even if he has never done something like this it would still be something that he would brag about to his friends for years to come. Well I found my fathers day gift..yippie!!!

I'm a racer myself but I have been up inside the tower at e-town and for the most part it's all corporate big wigs. I think it's really cool that you guys have a suite that is for real race fans...you know blue collar people. I might have to stop by and say hello. Thanks for taking care of the little guy.

HMMMMMM I will come and see you at the race to speak to you about seats for my brother, myself and our wife's. Thanks for the cool idea. Bill Roth, Clevland,Ohio

I love your site because you guys truly take the time to explain everything about your seating package. You don't exactly find that in too many web sites these days. Plus when I sent you an e-mail asking a question about your suites you responded promptly instead of taking your good old time like other places. Thanks for the quick information and a great website.

Hey Kathleen, I know exactly what your talking about. I just spent over two weeks trying to contact a website that offers premium race seating and to date I still have not heard anything back from them. Then I found A&J and all I can say is WOW!!! I e-mailed them at 9:00am and I had a response back with all the info I asked for by 10:30am the same day. Hey A&J...we love you...keep up the good work. Kim Luffkin,Sarrasota,Florida

Hey Alan...my brother and myself stopped by to see you at Maple Grove on Friday and to say the very least we were very impressed with the suite and yourself. We wanted to come back and see you on Saturday to give you our deposits for next year but the rain stopped us from doing that. We will be back in October to see you with deposit in hand. We really think that the concept you have is great because it allows regular people like us to enjoy drag racing on a higher level. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us and show us around. See you in October, John & Brian Hitcher, Cherry Hill,NJ

Your site is by far the most informative race-website that I have ever come across. You explain everything in plain english so anyone can understand just what they are getting for their money. You also answer all the dumb questions along with the tough ones. You have truly done a great job at creating a user friendly website. Keep up the good work, Peter Borak, Huston, Texas

Hello Alan, I just wanted to stop by and check out the site because I've heard so much about it from my racing friends. I just had to see it for myself...and boy where they right!!! First of all your concept is so cool and second the site has any and all information that a person could hope to get...and the best part is that I have been forced to quit racing due to a back injury. So I guess this will be a great way for my wife and myself to enjoy the races without me hurting my back any more. I am trying to get back to Maple Grove in October for the replay of the race...If so I will make my way over to the tower to speak with you about seats for next year. In advance thanks for another way to enjoy something that I love so much. Talk to you real soon. Charles Santiago,Newport,Rhode Island

Hello A&J family. I just found your website while I was surfing the net and all I can say is wow!!! I am a drag racing fan myself and I have never seen anything like your site and wow what a cool idea. This kind of proves what I have always believed. that when good people get together great things happen. To say the very least I'm impressed at what you have accomplished from nothing more than the love of drag racing. You should be proud!!! I will be at Maple Grove in October so I will be sure to stop by and say hello. Take care, Jay Leno

I found your add in National Dragster and this was the first chance I had to go and checkout your website. Well I can tell you that I was impressed with all the info that your site provided me with. I don't usually make it out to the Reading event however I am always at the Englishtown race like clockwork. I am a member of a very large racing club that is about 80 members strong. Since your concept has truly gotten my attention I will be posting your web site in our monthly newsletter for all the other members to see. Hey who knows maybe there will be enough interest in the club that we might make your suites an annual trip each year. I hope to be speaking with you in the very near future to reserve seats with you. Well keep up the good work and the awesome website. Carl Shepler,Santa Ana,Ca.

You have created an awesome website that any race fan could enjoy visiting. It's very user friendly and it provides lots of information. By the way ,you need to put up the pics from this year at E-Town and some video clips would be real cool too. Either way you have a great site. Keep up the good work. John Stockton,Phila,Pa.

You guys have really created a concept that I would think will continue to catch on as time goes on. I was looking at the pictures from past races and it sure looks like everyone is having a great time. I think that the one thing that really impressed me is that when I called Englishtown and Maple Grove to find out about you guys and if you were really on the level they could not say enough good things about you guys and about how well you take care of all the folks that join you each year. Well here's tipping my hat to you for a job well done!!! John Dimmer, Pacific Grove, California

I just moved to Pa from Bismark N.D. and my new neighbor and I were talking the other night about drag racing and he told me about your site. You guys really did an awesome job on this site, and the first thing that I noticed was how much information your site has on it. I really like your FAQ page because it answers any and all questions that someone like myself might have. My next favorite was the photo album. I thought that was really a plus to be able to see your suites in action. My neighbor and myself are planning a trip to Englishtown for the 2005 event so we might stop by to say hello and talk to you about seats for the 2006 event. Bob Owens, Oaks Pa.

I just found your site last night while I was looking for parts for my racecar. I really didn't know that someone who is not tied in with a large corp could also enjoy viewing the race from the tower. This is really cool to see that you guys are taking care of all the little guys that love the sport just as much as anyone. Hell if it were not for all the fans that sit in the stands at each event there would be no race. So here's tipping my hat to you guys and all the good you do for the sport. Take care and keep on looking out for the little guy. Paul H. Zimmerman,White Plains,NY

Al & Donna, it's been a long winter already and I just watched the "Winter Nats" last week. Although I couldn't smell the nitro, it was still a thrill! 2005 will be my 11th year with you and I can't wait. I was at the Grove in September and didn't get over to see you guys and gals Friday, and did not bring my swim suit Saturday. Went home Saturday afternoon and couldn't make it back for the rain date. What a bummer. Hope to see you at the division 1 opener in May. Maybe planning to go to Bristol in April for the first time. See you in Englishtown, your buddy from Connecticut M. Lapenta

Hi, I have been to the track in May 2000, (back in September for rain date - 1000 mile drive from Nova Scotia). I have booked a motel and tickets for June - did not see this first. Can we come and visit while we are there in order to see the suites and view, and decide what we might like to do next year? I am traveling with my son, and my buddy and his son (both 11). Could you please respond. Larry Williams - Herring Cove N.S. Canada larrywilliams@eastlink.ca

Dear Al,Donna, & gang, 31/2 weeks to go until E-Town, and me and Anthony can't wait! Went to Las Vegas for my first time and had a BLAST! R.Fish drove from California and we had a great time together. Saw some good racing and got to experience never ending excitement! No luck at gaming though. We also got to go to Bob Gilbertson's 50th surprise birthday party at the Golden Nugget Casino, hosted by "Berzzerko Bob", which was a good time. Can't wait to see all the friends and fanatics soon and hope the weather is much better than it is as of this writing, your division #1 friend from Connecticut, Mad Man Marko Lapenta......P.S would like to go back to the original home suite #108, with the core group, although it's all good! Good times lay ahead!

Dear Al & Donna, in regards to the "Intruders statement", maybe some guests don't appreciate the added bonus of having the opportunity to be friends and extend the gratification of having the Safety Safari and others visit our suite, as they are an important part of the over all safety and success of the event. It is a great way to show them our fondness for what they do! Without these fine folks Drag Racing would not be what it is. Please keep the open invitation to this great group of hard working men and women part of A&J's thank you to them.... M. Lapenta

Brian DeNucci, I was looking for last minute tickets and ran across your site. I thought you had a GREAT IDEA and wanted to be included into your family ( Club of friends ). I still would like to be put on your waiting list if there is no more available. I need two tickets, one for me and I wish to purchase a ticket for a very good friend of mine who has be diagnosed with cancer. Pardon my spelling but, as a gift for him and me. We have been going to the NHRA races her at Englishtown and a few times to Ohio& Maple Grove, Please let me know what I can do for this week end or maybe next year.

Hi A&J, My name is Cono DePaola from Brooklyn NY. (pronounced Ko-no, De-Pay-O-la). My son & I have been attending the nationals (finals only) for the past 12 years. This year we have been blessed with the resources$ to hopefully join the A&J family and really have a great time. I hope you have room for the 2 of us, it would be great to enjoy the entire event in comfort with what sounds like some good folks. Please let me know if you have 2 seats available & I will get the ticket money to you immediately. Thanks, Cono DePaola E-mail= daddy10@nyc.rr.com

My brother Greg told me about your site. I haven't been to a NHRA event since the 60s when my dad raced for the new breed drag team & he would take me to the Connecticut dragway.Its great to see the respect my dad received from the people he crossed paths with along his journey, especially when I saw the part about" what you see is what you got". That really touched me and thank you for your kind words.Ive been talking to Greg about going to Englishtown this year, it will be my first pro race and im looking forward to it- I know one thing, my dads memory will be there.-Thanks again, Gary Lukaszewicz.

This is the first chance that i have had to check out your web site. I was in your suites with my cousin last year as a guest for the day and just in case anyone is wondering if it's as good as it sounds, well let me tell you, it's better!!! these guys really know how to make someone feel at home . They just don't stop taking care of everyone. The whole a&j family was amazing. As far as the web site....it too is amazing. i was pleasantly surprised at the amount of information that you guys have on there. I tried to get in to your suites this year and it was sold out , but rest assured I will be in there next year. I won't be asleep at the wheel. Keep up all the great work you do.

this is just a cool concept. I love the website and pictures. I would love to see you do this at other tracks. I have done the public suites at some tracks and let me tell you, it's like being a sardine in a can. I have also done the top eliminator clubs and all they are is the stands with an awning. Your concept is the right ticket.

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have seen your add in the national dragster paper. My husband is an avid drag racing fan and has been for the 36 years that we have been married. Every year I struggle to figure out something to get him for fathers day. Well, guess what, I just figured it out. Your race package is just what the doctor ordered. I visited your web site today and found out that the event you do at Raceway Park was all sold out. Yes I was sad to see that but then happy to see that you still have some open spots at the Maple Grove event that you do. I think that I will be contacting you about tickets for my husband and two sons who are also fathers. What a great idea you have and from what I can see in the pictures you have posted, everyone is sure having a great time. We are very family oriented so the whole idea of as you put it ( JOINING YOUR FAMILY ) sounds awesome. I still might decide to reserve next years event at Raceway Park instead since it falls on fathers day and that is the whole reason for this gift. Either way I will be in touch.

I was at a company meeting the other day and my boss instructed me to add something new to our clients entertainment list. A coworker told me about you guys and I visited your web site and I will say that I was very impressed with all that you do. I am not what you would call a diehard race fan, but I think I could learn to be if i was enjoying the race from your suites. My assistant will be in touch with you after the Englishtown race to find out more and to reserve at least 10 seats for next year. Take car and best of luck with your really cool organization.

I wanted to do some thing nice for a friend with cancer of the lower spine. He is a avid John Force fan as we all are. I decided to buy him and I a ticket for some thing special. I am looking forward to see him and myself in having the best time racing at Raceway park. I am also looking forward to making this a yearly event as long as the price does not go up Too High Ha Ha Your Friend I hope Brian DeNucci Capt LBFD
