Default Atco Track Rental Day Fri 8/25

A few of us are trying to get a group together to rent out Atco on Friday August 25th. The cost is $200 per car.

Atco Site info: http://atcodragway.rocks/?page_id=163

The biggest questions you may have are:

Q. What happens if it rains?
A. They will reschedule. Only time you lose money is if you no-show.

Q. Helmet?
A. Yup, see site for Snell rating requirements and related rules for very fast cars.

Q. Can I leave in antifreeze?
A. Yes, for a street car. You need some sort of overflow container of course . They want water in race cars.

Q. How many runs will I get in?
A. A lot! Last time at Atco I was told some guys got well over 20 runs and they had over 30 cars there. Run till you break it if you want! Hopefully, that will be later in the day rather than earlier!


If you are interested or can firmly commit, post here and email/PM me.

We need to give them a $400 credit card deposit to reserve the day.



Oh, and I've already spoken to Mother Nature and requested 72* temps, partial clouds and low humidity.

Subscribed and as we spoke pretty sure I'm in. Let me know if you want me to invite people for a head count.

Yes, invite away. Should we limit it at all or do you think that's not necessary?

LOL..... of course not..... Might even help you push it back on the trailer.... IF you buy me a soda

Seriously..... Hanging out all day and watching Pontiacs thrash the 1/4 mile..... not a bad day...

What will they charge for spectators?

I'm sure I can use then help.

Not sure about cost of spectators, if any since it's a rental. Check out their link in my first post. I have a few friends coming as well (more pushing power �� )

Bump to gauge interest. Might need to change dates to accommodate others. If you'd like to attend on this date or other date, please chime in.

Friday 8/18 @ Atco is an open track rental day. $150 per car now. I'm planning on going. Anyone else?

Also, the following Friday 8/25 may be the same. I'm planning on using that as my rain date.

We got rained out last Friday so we are trying to get at least 10 cars together for 8/25 track rental. Need to commit by Monday. Anyone interested? PM or email me.

This event happened, sadly without me. But Atco is hosting another open track rental day that I'm going to on 9/15, Friday. Only rain will keep me away!

Anyone else?
