Atco is done

Damn. That's another track I've raced at that's now closed. That makes Englishtown, Strato Rods, Atco, York, 75-80, just in the NE

NJMP easily has the room for a 1/8 mile track on their front stretch, but it would take a lot of work for anything longer. Improving Island depends on how much unused land they own or could acquire for more parking. But neither facility would work as a big show spectator-oriented venue.

I've even looked at the Meadowlands. Something on the likes of Pomona Fairgrounds, where everything but the stands and track are dual-purpose. It's an large industrial/commercial area and the nearest residences are at least a mile away. But it's flat ground, with urban development rising to the west, and sound will carry.
