Looks like they are open for part of 2021.

My Bad. I posted this in The lounge a couple of days ago. I should have posted it here also.

ATCO has posted a limited / tentative schedule

Hopefully not only will the NHRA race on Aug 5 to 8 be able to be run, but also people like myself will be able to attend.

August will be a very busy month in div1 every weekend ....

Also just because the schedule has been posted doesn't mean that the negotiations are still not going on for the track sale. We will need to show support for keeping it a track and keeping it clean and respectful when asking questions to the board.

Tonight is the next installment of the Town Board meeting on Zoom at Monday the 15th
at 7pm EST

How about instead try to show support for the track by patronizing it and making it profitable for the current owner! Funny how there were numerous posts of outrage when pictures of the wall being torn down was displayed only to be followed up with.... that happened 8 or 9 years ago! Right there is the problem!

Everyone wants a racetrack in there backyard but going to a LODRS race and a national open essentially racing at the track twice a year doesn't cut it. I've watched a couple tracks close and I was not really surprised as I had been there the preceding seasons and surmised that after witnessing the weekly car counts I'd hate to see the balance sheet at the end of the year. Owning a racetrack in these current climate is a balancing act and the pot of gold is real estate appreciation, which sounds like exactly whats going on here.

Maybe if he was making $ he wouldn't be trying to sell

Perhaps you are not familiar with trying to race in this place. I beleieve the last year e=town operated it seemed to rain whenever it was a day to race. What was in the mind of the current owner of Atco when.. he bought the place, who knows, but since this is n.j. money is king, reguardless.The dictator murphy picks the winners and losers, gyms, until recently in door dining, masks, BUT, ya' wanna' protest riot with him marching with them w/o wearing your "feed bag" that's just fine .. There are a few hundred acres of sports fields near me, that will be loaded with atleast 1k people on weekends and no masks, but last Thanksgiving week Wall Stadium had to cancel their whole program due to murphy after they had paid all their fees, 12 tires per car @$200.00 each due to the events being called "a super spreader" as people were towing from across the Country.If you happen to live in "Free America" be thankfull, we just want a dependable place to race!!

A few extra competitors, spectators and a couple more cheeseburgers sold will not change his mind. He is selling the track no matter what. At this point he is just trying to offset the cost of the delay of the sale, or money going in his bank account. I’d rather support the tracks that are staying in business. No reason to ever go back here other then supporting the ECSSA or the last D1 race. Other than that the owner can pound sand. For the time being, this is America, and an individual can do whatever he wants with his property. That doesn’t mean we have to support him.
