times hey nice dog ..is atco still a hole in the wall?been thier once,,yea im a jersey boy,,,,,at etown you should be able to lower your numbers...here in south texas we had a track that just closed up..it reminded me of atco,,except here you could park your car along the track and party..Almo dragway...thanks toyota..Newtundra plant chased it away for houses and now toyotas falling...we only have san antonio speedway left close by...good times for that track
Track is great now ,everything is new and almost always great prep , things have changed for the better !
atco thats good to here about track..Do they hold swap meets thier yet?.couple of close friends used to run thier..these names ring any bells..Roddy Conliff,Eddie Blewett,James D`Amore,,,,
I never hear much about swap meets , I guess E-Town is the only good place for swap meets , and sorry , names dont ring a bell , but then again im really just a weekend worrior , I only ran in a few NMRA events , almost won the 14sec flat award last summer but lost it to a 40s hotrod by a few tenths
Well done! Good to see your new mods are working. I'm surprised you can even run at a track that cold. Here in Vancouver BC, if it gets into the lower 60's the track gets too wet.
