Live from Atco,NJ - Micro Strategies National Open

Jack Matyas · 05-04-2023, 07:49 PM

Well it's the first - that's right - the first Micro Strategies National Open Series race to be held with ten more to be raced in Division One and sponsored by Micro Strategies this season.

Today was parking only and the entries were light but picking up tonight .Plenty of pit space available here because of the better use of available acreage .That and alcohol cars won't be here taking up premium spaces .

Tomorrow will be test n tune along with National Record runs all day.

One last thing - a trivia question for you long time Atco racers - the DELTA gas station pictured ( on Jackson Road ) was another brand in the seventies and NHRA events were held there during that time period - can anyone tell me what those events were ???? First one with a correct answer gets a ClassRacer t-shirt from yours truly.

And from the Division One sportsman racers - thanks Anthony for sure .

I'll guess, even though I live in Atco I don't know. The first time on Jackson Road was probably 1983 , going to the track from Camden

I pumped gas at a Gulf station starting in 82, so I'll guess Gulf.

I took a ride through the pits tonight. Saw some familiar trailers. It was raining so not much happening. I did hear race car noises earlier in the day (I'm close to the track).

I have a potato phone but I'll try to take pics if I can and update to add to your post.

I'll try a pic now below 👇

looks like it was a Getty.

I was going to say if I remember as a kid it was a Getty…I remember someone telling me of an event that went on there but, I cannot remember what it was.
