Thats not totally true Ed...

Yes Atco and E-town were pretty fast but it's more the conditions...I've seen -1000' DA at both tracks. Cecil County is another fast track even when the weather is not that great.

We are lucky around this area to have great weather in spring and fall and it makes most all the tracks pretty fast compared to may others around the country.

We set a record at Atco in 1970 and went faster than that record at Island Dragway which was nowhere near as fast as many other tracks.
We went just as fast at York much earlier that year and way more MPH....
Ran just as fast at ETown on our cars 3rd ever run......Ray Allen driving...

Cool air, good barometer and good traction.
Asphalt sucked in the hot summer and was fine in cool weather....
