Re: Atco is done
Bracket racing and LODRS does not keep a track afloat. I do attribute that to the track as well. I do not give non-advertising, non-promoting tracks a free pass. The events that make money are probably test n tunes (no payout) and big events like Super Chevy or the Pan America Nationals that took place this past weekend at Atco. He cashed-in right before closing. I've never seen the place so packed, one day spectator was $40, racing entry fee, motorhome fee even if racing. Parking on blacktop with that race car? That was another fee. Average age of everyone there, about 30 years old. Average age at LODRS races is probably 60ish.
Topic for another thread but shouldn't there be a class for rotaries in NHRA? Comp eliminator?
