Wonder if it will be rescheduled at another track. Atco transferred the Pan American race, one of the biggest races of the year, to Maple Grove. They stated it was due to covid, but it wasn't until July.
Makes you wonder if they are selling their big races to other tracks due to another another reason.

Guess time will tell.

Just like last year all over again . maybe a double at dinwittie . Most tracks have a schudule up Atco's is blank ?

About sick and tired of this. Do people plan on sitting at home for eternity with their mask to avoid a 0.7% fatality rate if you are over 70 ? You may as well just be dead if you are going to live life like this. Move it to Maple Grove then and get going. So glad I live in Florida

Dirt tracks have been running in NJ since mid June last summer, WITH plenty of spectators. Both high school and pro sports playing, and last time I checked, all of the big box stores are crammed with people. Something stinks in suburbia and it smells like bull****.

The question is. Is this due to Covid or that they are trying to become another English Town?

My opinion is it's because the sale of Atco is expected to be approved and not because of COVID restrictions....

I would be more than happy to be wrong.....WAY more than happy....

After losing Etown a few years ago losing Atco would hurt just as about as bad....

All my buddies up north y'all need to hitch a ride on the Fletcher train! Come on down the water's fine!

the covid rules for dragstrips in NJ are terrible. Island is fighting a big fine by the state of nj when they had an event with more than 400 total people. So i believe what atco is saying. is the track for sale, yes, but zoning has to be changed and then go back to pinelands commision for approval. island is not doing schedule yet last time i checked

Hmmm. NHRA has a bullseye on them because of the Trump support .
There letting nascar and sports teams to have attendance
Drag racing No way. ...cancel culture. Say it ain’t so
