There's a few threads over at Yellowbullet with videos the shows Atco closing in the near future to make room for another car auction site sucks

Someone shared a video this morning of a town meeting I believe it was.

Applications/papers were filed pertaining to the sale of the property and use change to an auto storage facility and auction site.....

Approvals would have to come from a number of different govt' entity's

It would really be terrible to lose another great track here in NJ and one with a lot of history......

I was there racing going back as far as 1966....

From the things I read,it looks like a pending deal is in place. What a shame if it closes. Nobody from the track will comment on their FB page. Correct me if Im wrong, they havent been battling the community over noise have they? They are in protected Pine Barrens. Seems like a business decision $$$

The first time I went down that track was 1978. It would be a shame if it were to close.
