Atco Raceway
I have gone to Atco a few times over the past month or so and couldn't help but notice that a large parcel of trees on either side of the track have been cleared out. Finally, I couldn't resist and had to ask the person at the ticket booth if they knew what the deal was; apparently the area is being cleared to plant blueberries.
Does that make sense or do you think the person at the booth was yanking my chain?

Re: Atco Raceway
It's the perfect soil for blueberries. I wouldn't worry.
Now, if you see new sewer lines being put in alongside the road, THEN I'd worry. Verne

Re: Atco Raceway
Atco is hurting right now. Attendance is dropping off. Try to get there more to help them out.. Or it may be a future home to new homes.

Re: Atco Raceway
No National Events except for the NHRA DIV-1 Points meet which is poorly attended. I remember being backed up down Jackson rd. for a 1/2 mile trying to get in for the SuperStock nationals and all the old funny car meets.
NHRA is hurting so alot of tracks follow suit.

Re: Atco Raceway
Years ago they used to host the IHRA Summer Nationals; saw John Force there when we was running the Olds Cutlass body (Jolly Rancher sponsorship).
I also recall seeing an event; I think it was a Musclecar Nationals type of event; loved that one. Attendance was much better back then and the track wasn't nearly as nice. I do love to go there and just relax, watch some great racing. I hope it sticks around for a long time but, if people aren't going I don't see how they can afford to continue much longer.
