ATCO dates reschedule

[ken robinson]

They got the rain water run off catch basin all wrong . And they never addressed a possible electric car lith. Battery fire with push for more electric cars and no fire hose with water will stop that from lighting the other cars on fire and then the pine Forest on a nice hot windy day . They just want to plant trees along the roadway fence line to hide their pollution.

Well, I’m afraid it’s been rescheduled, you D1 folks should consider coming to the Baby Gators, great race with class!

Looks like they're working hard to find another use for the land. Sad!

It seems, at this point, they're trying to keep it a dragstrip because it's the lesser of two evils, from the PPA's standpoint, at least.

So right now, the tree huggers are a racer's best friend. Kinda ironic.

I haven't seen this question raised, it may have been but I haven't seen it.
Did the current owner make any attempt to find a buyer(s) wanting to keep it as is?

Good question.

It seems someone in the dragracing media needs to contact the owner and do an interview.

The track has such a rich history that I would think the owner could at least provide the thousands of people who have patronized it with some information.

Yes, there were a few offers but, nothing in the amount that IAA was willing to offer to buy it. Rumor has it, the racers offer was around 6-7 million and IAA offer was around 11-12 million

It's my understanding that offers from other buyers were made.
