I’d have to fly to get back to NJ, if I order a copy using the below website, do you think I’d get a useable copy?

I heard it a lot as a kid (late 80s/early 90s for me) as well. My father's boss raced at Island and Raceway Park for years.

I remember the noise of the cars from Raceway Park, on a windy day, was heard clearly from my parents’ old house on the easternmost end of Marlboro. We could also sometimes hear the foghorn on the Raritan River from time to time - also not super close by.

I can’t believe it’s been around that long. I heard that on TV and the radio well into the 2000s.

Great, I’m going to be hearing this in my head for the next two days. “RACEWAY PARK, ENGLISHTOWN, NEW JERSEY!!!!!!”
(And then there’s Englishtown’s OTHER great landmark, the Auction, but that didn’t have a memorable commercial on WABC, 99X, or New York’s Best Rock, WPLJ!)

I haven't lived in New Jersey since 2007 and after reading that I can hear it as clear as day.

Spent many a late night at Time to Eat diner in Bridgewater. Looks like they’ve started closing at 11:30.

Those ads always made me happy because it was one of the first glimmers of hope that the end of winter was coming

Short version: Those used to be acceptable, but not anymore.
The solution for both is the same: Go to the Vital Records Department and get a new one, either at Trenton or at the town that originally issued the certificate.
