Tuesdays at Atco are brutal, unless you can get there right when the gates open. Thursday nights, Sunday mornings or even Friday nights are usually much better.

Track was open today. There were very few cars. Track prep was very minimal though. They also allowed the steet tire group to run in the groove which did not help the situation.
