Maybe so S/SS can run them flat out without getting horsepower.Also run Class at National open.

Yea and Napierville only had 37 cars in combo for 10K,last year. ya all better support it or it will go away, Now if ya's look at the map it is a 6 hr drive from Atco, have a passport and leave your guns at home, 15 mins inside Canadian border. Just wonder what would happen if M/G was ever sold, everyone would have to drive then to a race,just saying.

Maple Grove is really the only Open that gets a decent car count in Stock / SS and since it's really the last "Hurrah" that's why you get those counts. You used to have Dave Ley's race at E-Town and Mike Car's race at Haggerstown but, you can't set records. Here was the past two years of car counts at Atco & MG. Plus Atco was a guaranteed $2,500 to win.Like Brian said, need to get out and support those events before they are gone

Atco 2017
Super Stk - 32
Stock - 70

Maple grove 2017
Super Stk - 84
Stock - 126

Atco 2016
Super Stk - 42
Stock - 75

Maple Grove
Super Stk - 83
Stock - 124
