I just ran at Atco back in May but broke the car , now I know why they wouldn't give me a raincheck , they weren't going to be around much longer. He sure fooled everybody by going on Facebook earlier this year with pictures of all the new track maintenance equipment. Word has it the owner was mad that racers went to planning board etc. meetings and complaining about him selling to the junk yard people. So out of spite he went around the local planning boards and went right to the county and got his ok to open up a pot farm. Thats why he turned down an offer to sell and keep it as a drag strip .. Spite ! It is sad how a persons want for money and their spite can effect so many... ie. employees , racers etc. What about the people that bought Atco gift certificates ? points racers that paid to run points ? I am guessing he called the family that ran Englishtown and asked " whats the best way to close a track with no notice " ? Its pretty funny that there's a member of the family that owned Englishtown on Facebook posting all about how much he misses and loves drag racing !
