I was down there last night and many cars and trucks were rolling in and roping off spots or parking cars in spots to save them.

Re: Atco FYI
 

What ever happend to no saving spots??? People show up 2 weeks before to get spots, then safe them.... Time to get a life!!

Re: Atco FYI
 

My Opinion about saving spots > I think a racer should be allowed to save only one spot no more ,no less . Part of racing is to race with your friends and only one spot should be saved for one of your friends so it would be easier for NHRA officials to understand the one spot saved policy just for what it is worth opinion form me LOL at me :D

Re: Atco FYI
 

Atco is the worst in D-1 for saving spots. We're not talking about just 1, but in some cases 4-5 spots. Easy solution...want to save a spot for your friend, pay the entry fee for them. Problem solved.

Hey Angelo! Save me 72 spots. I'm bringing some elementary school students with me to have golf cart races in the pits while it's raining. That's ok, right? LOL. No, seriously, Angelo if you're coming let me know. Mikey will be up on Fri. afternoon. See you there. Thanks for info.

This, is why we are not going to Atco. Nothing worse than showing up Thursday morning and getting put back at the motorcross track, in the mud, because the asphalt is taken up by "crime scene tape". Saving one spot is fine....but not rows at a time.

Marty,

Can't agree with you more , it's out of control and someday they will do something about... I am kind of surprised because Joe runs a great track, but watch out when it rains ... Good Luck and good weather this weekend.........

Re: Atco FYI
 

Atco used to be my favorite track...cut my teeth there learning to super stock race...but it just doesn't do it for me anymore....place is too small for the car counts and the ownership is limited to expanding the place due to environmental regs...not their fault but....maybe if it was paved....all this rushing down there to save spots would end. Nobody runs a better race track than Joe Sway....just has his hands tied behind his back on certain issues...it's a shame.

Spoke to several at the track today...if you are not there already, you aren't parking on asphalt..
