Atco closing ?

So putting it up for sale as a race track wasn't an option . There is no compromise . Nobody, not one person in the world would consider buying it as a race track . Really .....

Beleave it or not, but this place used to be an alright state to live in, 50+ years ago. Now it is just a lot of crooks,liars and down right theives.. John Kissel

Does anyone know if it's up for sale or is there a sale pending on getting the use changed? It would be interesting to know what it would sell for. BP

Damn!

Some of you are aware, I'm a Jersey boy and grew up in the land of NED before the NAVY transplanted me in California in 79... I haven't even gotten over the demise of E-town, this **** breaks my heart!

Has anyone been in contact with Dave Ley? I would think he would have the scoop. And where is Bill Bader? I would think Atco would be less $$$ than Maple Grove!

So from rumor that i heard there was another interested party, a drag racer , and when this businessman looked at the business model said it is not worth anywhere near what auction/junkyard is talking about.

Sounds like the description of Etown before it sold.
