Atco posts race schedule

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.

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

A protest won't do anything. It's the owner's property, and if they want to sell it, they will.
(Presuming the land use is changed.)

I can't imagine the owner being a happy camper if forced not to change the land use.

As much as I want it to remain a drag strip, this is America, and you shouldn't be told by any group or organization what you can or can't do with your land. Unless,of course, there was a stipulation that this could happen when you bought said property.

He knew that it was "protected" land when he bought it. Getting the land use "changed" will just put more coin in his pocket.

It looks like the same thing is happening to Atco that happened here on Long Island to our track. Track was purchased
with the intent of flipping it for profit with a zoning change and understanding that zone change
would never happen without community support from the locals that want the track gone.

Here on Long Island it was just a small group that supported the sale of the track and they had enough influence on the Town Board to make it happen.
Racetracks in areas that become densely populated are a constant source of aggravation to the Town fathers and they're always open to the
idea of eliminating that source of aggravation.

Raceway Park in Englishtown held their Spring Swap Meet and Auto Show over the weekend without a problem, Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden told New Jersey 101.5.

.

Since Englishtown had no problems. You think maybe Len is being screwed with because of trying to sell the track?
