Good evening boys and girls - Here we are at one of the more popular stops on the Division One tour - the one and only famous Atco Raceway .I've been coming here since the early seventies and am just as happy going thru the gates tonight as I was the very first time .Yes , it has changed and modernized a bunch but its still a great place to race .With superb traction and sea level ( and sometimes below) air that produces great time slips you just can't beat it .

Enough of that - lets talk about insult and injury first -- would you believe the boss got me already as he took my saved ( yeah - I know-- no saving allowed ) pit spot and I've been banished to the boonies .And its only Wednesday night .He doesn't know it yet but he's in for one hell of a weekend as I'll get even -- if it takes me right thru Sunday to do it .

My trip here was uneventful for a change - with the exception of the surprise on Route 73 South near Berlin - when you see the pictures below you'll understand .The gas and Diesel prices here are unbelieveable as you'll see .We in Pennsylvania are handcuffed by Governor Corbett and his taxes and just aren't used to seeing cheap only a few miles away .The only strange thing is I can't believe I'm using the word cheap when gas and deisel prices are over three bucks a gallon - times sure have changed.

Tomorrow we'll do test n tune and some tech -- and ClassRacer will bring you folks all the latest news ...............
