They just need a track to hold a National event in the North Jersey/NY area.

Is Atco big enough Sammy? I know the owner just died but is that next on the block?

Been there many times and they need more stands to have an event there. Is the track far enough away from the stands for the top fuel cars to run?

They have put a lot of money into to facility in the past 12 months. Including more stands and totally resurfacing the entire track . So my opinion is they would not put all that money into this facility after buying it if there wasn’t something down the pipeline. I am only repeating what I was told by some very well-connected people at the track

Not sure if the track is long enough for TF and FC. Maybe with the 1,000 ft. passes it may be. Pit area yea but parking may be tuff for a big meet. hugger is right they did alot down there. Its a fast track too.

I do not think Cecil is long enough for todays TF and FC.

Sammy it’s Doug Perry...the message board has my user name switched back to the original name I started with years ago I don’t know why ...they have fixed it two times before and now it’s went back again . The Columbus Track has made significant improvements in just a short period time so we shall see as time goes by

Since National Trails is in a rule area the parking is plentiful for a big meet. Our pit area is huge . Years ago we had the Spring nationals here and then it switched over to the Pontiac excitement National’s before they took it away and gave it to Norwalk so my guess is there’s a chance we will get something

I use to go to the Spring Natl's at Nat'l Trail every year and remember seeing Shirley M and Lucille Lee in the top fuel final, I think that was 1983.
