Default Track Day - Sunday Feb. 26 @ATCO

Since the last date at Cecil was cancelled I am planning to head up to ATCO for the first time. 300ft lower than cecil so DA should be nice to us and we can make a decent cruise out of it.

Atco Raceway
Sunday Feb. 26, 9:00AM
1000 Jackson Rd, Atco, NJ

Meet up spot for anyone rolling along will be MD House on route 95, time TBA --

Obviously tentative on weather...

I wish I could get mine below 2900 and be legal for my class, but no. Should be around 2925 with the kirkey aluminum seat bolted to the floor on the passenger side.

its not looking good for me guys, I have to work today, and I am "on call" tomorrow, so I will most likely have to pass, but if things change I will shoot you guys a text. I never got around to changing the oil on the vette either (not that it really matters much)

It was a nice, but SLOW MOVING track... probably the same number of cars as Cecil but with 45 -60min min between runs like Capitol. The entire track crew took an impromptu hour long lunch break around 1:00PM, WTF!!

High DA, 42 degrees...weather was great but there was a freaky head wind. The wind died off as the day went on.

No new PB for me ... but I gained in consistency.

Runs:
1. 12.2 @ 116.69 / 1.758 (first run, 8 lbs)
2. 11.926 @ 118.95 / 1.726 (9lbs here and on)
3. 11.921 @ 118.49 / 1.733
4. 11.914 @ 118.38 / 1.778
5. 11.885 @ 120.04 / 1.745

all that time just for 5 runs. I wasn't too impressed. Could of been worse if he made you get a fire jacket for your non-stock turbo car.

are you serious!! So where and when can you run on full slicks? We both got in 5 runs in 5hrs with the lunch break!!

The track we usually go to we get in 10+ runs in 4-5hrs.
