Atco is done

As much as NJMP makes sense to build a drag strip, they don’t want to. I live 10 minutes from it and work at the Longhorn PT where alot of teams come in to eat. I can tell you the drag racing clients are not what they are shooting for there. They want the team Porsche, Ferrari teams to come in from overseas drop a couple hundred grand and leave. They don’t want the racer who’s going to complain about a $50 test & tune pass or having to pay $15 for their wife to come in to watch.

TRUST ME, the area could use a drag strip and a National Event because we’re a depressed area but, neighbors already complain about the noise from the track so running a bracket race till 10pm on a Saturday isn’t going to fly.
