Website: http://www.pride-performance.com/
"Pride performance was formed by a group of friends and enthusiasts who share the love for racing and building cars in general. Pride-Performance is modeled around what we have all dreamed about for years on the East Coast, a place for fellow racers and car builders alike to hang out, a walk in store-front to order parts, having access and the ability to speak with a staff member in order to get advice on what parts to purchase or in what route he/she should be taking in building their car.
Our mission here at Pride-Performance is very simple:
To create a tight-knit community that has the same desire and passion for the cars and the industry as we do. Our goal is to set a new standard in the automotive aftermarket industry by building high quality cars without lacking any customer service. It is now all to common to establish a relationship with a tuning shop just to have them treat you like crap after you’ve spent all your money, and that’s just us being real about it." – Pride Performance

Formula DRIFT heads to the East Coast for Round 3 and for the first time enters Englishtown Raceway
Englishtown Raceway Park has been open since the mid 1960’s and has been one of drag racing’s premier facilities. The addition of a first-class motocross track in 1975, sanctioned by the AMA, has proven itself popular with area fans.
Raceway Park has opened a Road Course that will be utilized this season by Formula DRIFT. The road course is 1.35 miles, and a minimum of 40’ wide, with a 1,400 ft straightaway. Some highlights of the track include 90 degree right turn, a 16 degree banked left turn, and a mini corkscrew.
Round 3: The Gauntlet will push the drivers to the limits and separate the men from the boys as this is the first time Formula DRIFT has entered this facility. This will be a true test of car control and skill and will make for one exciting event.

NOPI Spring Nationals at Englishtown, NJ
May 5th, 2008 by Elusive Media
About 60 miles north from Atco Raceway is the 5th stop of the NOPI Motorsports tour. The event was held at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. But it seems the weather followed the tour as well. Rain was forecasted throughout the weekend. It did not stop the NOPI fans from showing up though. After Saturday’s shut down due to weather, NOPI fans must have been praying to the NOPI Motorsports God because the sun showed up on Sunday (or maybe ‘Sunshine’ had something to do with it). Drag.. Drift.. NOPI Chics, what more can you ask for? It was another weekend to remember. Visit the Gallery for more pictures. Enjoy!
