We're all going to ATCO race track in Atco, NJ. The reason for the various stops is that we now have over 100 cars coming from all over the east coast and we're trying to meet up with as many people as we can on the way down.

In CT there are two stops and then in NJ we will be meeting up with a group there before heading out to meet with the final group at the rest stop after Exit 13 on the NJ Turnpike. We should have a HUGE caravan once we leave this rest stop.

Hope you can join us. Check out the other thread in the northeast region regarding the ATCO meet.

Sure thing Vic, I'll post up directions as soon as i get a detailed on.

Hey Sean, long time no see.. final destination is at ATCO raceway. The CT caravan will meet up at ATX to get together with the NY and north jersey people. Then onto the rest stop at exit 13 for the Central Jersey caravan.. then onto final destination from there.

This meet is not an all-Z meet. It's going to be mostly G35's and 350Z's but there people coming with friends and their cars and that's fine with us. I'll add you and your friend to the list.

Here's the link with information about the meet and who's coming:

Mike mentioned that it's 5 minutes from the GW Bridge. He will be posting specific directions. Hopefully this works for you.

Yup, west side highway is your best bet.

I've never been to ATCO before but i'm assuming it's about 1h 30m to 1h 45m.

Here's some important information. The fees below would be in addition to the collection daking350 will have for the challenge he's putting together:

Thanks to JDKing from g35driver.com who's involved with organizing this meet, below are the details of what to expect at ATCO:

Admission is $13 per person(non racing), $25 per driver&car for racing.
So if you bring your car and 2 passengers and you plan on racing it will cost $51.

There will be an area in the pit/paddock reserved for parking for just our group.


There will be staging lanes available for our group.
I think they have 5 or 6 lanes and we will get enough to handle our traffic.

We won't get any track time of our own, as has been mentioned. We can stage together, but the format for when you race is first come/first served.
You will be able to pair up, but you need to work that out with who you want to race against.

The track opens at 8am, and racing starts at 9am I believe.
I know alot of you are planning on 11am for arriving but the earlier you get there the more runs you get. There is no discount in race fee if you get there later in the day.

There will be electric available at no cost for a DJ/PA announcer, but details for the use of DJ/PA will be worked out the day of event with track management, IE: emergency announcements, etc.

The track has concessions and there is a WaWa deli/convenience store less than a mile from the track.
Gas is about 3 miles away. For those of you that want to run light tanks.

Sir mike.

I live off exit 3 or 4 off the turnpike, you can take your pick. But from around exit 10, it takes me about 45 mins to an hour depending on traffic. That is going about 70 - 75 mph. I am assuming you guys will be traveling a lot faster than that, so the time should be shorter.
