Atco is a great track and must be saved. We as drag racers are losing facilities that we can race at. When there are no longer any places to race, what will we do?

15 seasons with my two daughters and their Jr. Dragsters, Mavis and Colton. Colton was Pro Jr. Dragster track champion during it’s 50th Anniversary season. Met some amazing people, can tell so many stories, learned to work on their own cars, where part of our family team as well as represented Atco at the Divisional Championships and at Bristol, TN in the Conference Championships. Yeah, we live down the street from the beach, but we always chose the track. What an amazing opportunity for two little girls to experience as they grow into women. The confidence that grew expedentially with each pass was a huge part of their life. My daughters have both excelled since aging out of the Jr. Program. Mavis has graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major and currently works for Borgata. Colton attends Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. She just completed her undergraduate degree in three years and is entering the Masters Program for Athletic Training all while juggling a job and rowing on the Varsity Rowing team all three years. In 2019 the team was #5 in the country as was her boat. All this from a quiet little girl her learned to work hard and persevere in her own dragster starting at age eight. Please do not not sell the track and take away the opportunity for future kids to also have dreams come true. Thank you for your time. Chuck Salomon-Lowden, proud father and Atco Dragway fan since the 60’s.

You close Atco and then what? There's no other place to go. Guaranteed illegal street racing will happen more with this closing! Ashamed you would let this peace of history die.

Too much history here to turn it into another junk yard. Go find another property to use. I swear these people have something against race tracks.

ATCO Dragway is our home track, I understand that some residents don’t like the noise but, don’t make a Bigger mistake of letting it sell to IAA and have more environmental impact that will be 10x worse for the Pinelands then a racetrack will.
