Atco Divisional cancelled
 

Just read the LODRS at Atco was cancelled. A place and date to be named later.

Was looking forward to a close race I could sleep in my own bed for.

Well that is not good news. Galot has a division race that weekend so maybe some division 1 racers will make the tow down.

This is a JOKE...WTF!!!

Does anyone know what is going on? If you look at Atco's website they cancelled a bunch of weekend racing in August.

Anyone have the scoop, read on Facebook that the Town rejected the proposed use of of the track property?

Re: Atco Divisional cancelled
 

New Jersey needed a divisional meet this year after E-Town closed Atco was the last hope

Re: Atco Divisional cancelled
 

Yup, the town unanimously voted No for conditional use of the property.

Re: Atco Divisional cancelled
 

I wonder if that affects the sale of the track? Probably has the current owner (can’t recall his name) upset. Will it still operate as a drag strip? Possibly until another sales agreement is reached?

Re: Atco Divisional cancelled
 

That remains to be see what will happen with the track. From the owners reputation, I sure hope the track is sold soon to another party who will bring it back to its once former glory..

Iaa auctions has 45 days to appeal decision after the formal decision is documented and available to all parties..it will be a few months before all the testimony is documented according to township attorney..

My belief is regional was cancelled because of bad blood between owner and some Regional participants.

Big issue seams to be area illegally cleared out next to track by current owner and Township and Pinelands commision want it replanted at a cost of $1.8 million according to estimates I heard

Dragzene that came by yesterday has a nice story about the track. John Kissel

Re: Atco Divisional cancelled
 

Here it is, John. Seems it’s just a stay of execution, as mentioned. Capone not wanting to talk is not a good sign either.
