This is an important part of drag racing history. It also keeps racers off the street. SAVE ATCO

It would be ashame to see this place sold and closed. So many people go there with their family and friends to have fun. If the owner wants to sell I think he needs to consider someone who will buy it to keep it a race track not some auto auction that can build somewhere else instead. Keep atco alive
