Atco resurfaced the first 400 feet of their track last week. Hopefully they will be open this Sunday. Of course everything is weather permitting of course. I'd give them a call this Sat. after 7PM. (856) 768-2167.

Doug Kelly and myself are planning to go of course again weather permitting.

Atco said they will be open on Sunday that's assuming everything went well with their preparations.

I called Englishtown today, they said to call back Thursday regarding if the track is open or not. I'm not gonna drive to atco since raceway park is a mile away and where street wars is held, so HOPEFULLY Englishtown opens this weekend. There are some certain people I need to see.

Hey Rob, want to try out Etowns new concrete if they're open?? If not we can go to Atco. Shoot, hope my new DR's are here. Dying to try out those M/T DRs. I saw that John C was cutting 1.49 60' ft times. You know if Johns car get any faster he won't need the grill. All he'll have to do is put the burgers in the car and do a run or 2 and they'll be cooked.
