The company buying ATCO was / is still going to have to jump through hurdles to get the car auction there but, they basically cut the owner out (thinking the racers would go with) and will deal with the town itself. The sad part is even if they do nothing with the land and I’ve heard it might sit for a few years it can’t come back as a track, it’s officially done and the wildlife will just take it back over. The owner can sell to whomever they want it’s just if the township approves the sale which I think will take some red tape cutting since they were turned down 9-0 before.

For D1 they are really going to have to sway some tracks back to NHRA that left (US13, MIR) but, Craig is going to have to dive in feet first.
