"Live From" Atco Raceway - LODRS

Ken Miele · 08-01-2013, 08:34 AM

Good morning from Atco, NJ. There is supposed to be a test and tune today, but it has been raining lightly this morning. The weather forecast is not good for today, but you never know. I will keep you posted if the test and tune does happen.

I took some random photos this morning and as you can see there are not many rigs here or people movement this morning. Typically rigs start rolling in around noon here at Atco. I think todays rain forecast will most likely have racers coming in late today.

Jack is supposed to be here late toady, so you will two live reporters posting this weekend.

Update.... test and tune cancelled for today.

Time to get the grill "fired-up"! Looking forward to some great reporting from you and Jack this weekend, Ken.

Have fun and be safe!

I see the caution tape is in full affect, glad I left my trailer Tuesday night.

This could be a problem..I don't have a problem with someone saving a space or two .
Everyone does it ...but as usual its OUT OF F';/./KING HAND..I don't see how someone can get away with this BS.I can show up afull day ahead of a LOCAL..but they can show up when ever they get there and get paved up front space..SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS..We all pay the same money but some racers travel quite far and get to the track early and get F'/;'ed See you folks in the dirt..

I was under the impression that taping for spots had been addressed over the past year. Still it seems that some people just don't get it or just feel that they are above the rules. Some things never change !
