Fall Englishtown-Raceway Park Old Bridge Fall Car Show & Swap Meet
Old Bridge, NJSunday, September 24, 2017
The weather for day two of the 41st Englishtown/Raceway Park Car Show and Swap Meet was more like mid-July weather than what one would expect in late September. The midday temperature hit 90 degrees; if one didn’t have shelter from the direct sun, it was VERY uncomfortable.
The show vehicle turnout for Sunday the 24th was very small, with not many more than 50-75 vehicles. The cause of the diminished turnout could have been the heat, and possibly the draw of 4 other shows which, while not right nearby, were still capable of drawing off potential participants from the Raceway Park Show. The scene in the swap meet was even worse, with large gaps in the rows and many vendors leaving by noon time due to a lack of business.
One can only hope that it was mainly the high heat keeping many away from the 41st Fall Englishtown/Raceway Park Car Show and Swap Meet, and we’ll have to wait until next show in April 2018 to see if things work better by then.
