Rescheduled Atco Date - 12/14

Guys - I just spoke with Kevin at Atco, and we determined that it was too risky to try to run tomorrow based on the mixed bag of forecasts.

Although it kills me (and many of you to have your plans change like this), Kevin has agreed to give us FRIDAY, 12/14 for a rental. This is unusual because the track is typically not available for rental on Fridays.

For those who were scheduled to run tomorrow, your spots are still reserved for next Friday unless you tell me that you cannot make it. If you cannot make it, I will return or shred your deposit checks (less a $15 servicing fee kidding) and try to find replacements.

I am so sorry that Mother Nature screwed us.

Well let's all hope and pray that the weather holds. Hell it might even be 50+ degrees and sunny. And hello to all you guys, haven't been on in a little while!

Enzom, I know how you feel man....... Mother Nature screwed us last Friday 11/30/2007 in Fontana as well

What hurts the most is that it hasn't rained here for years, but on our last possible track day, it decides to rain

I'm hoping things will be better at Sacramento this Saturday.

I suspect it will be 40 degrees, 20% humidity, calm winds, and a DA of -1,100.

Will do.

The protocol for things like this is as follows:

Those that were "in" for the original event are "in" for the rescheduled event unless they tell me that they cannot make it. I have to give people until the end of the week or next Monday to be fair.

If an original attendee can't make it, that spot gets offered to someone who would have been to the original event, but for being told that it was "full".

Once that list is checked off, it is "open" to whoever can get me their check in the shortest time.

Keep an eye on the thread, and PM me for the latest info on Friday or next Monday.

Real upset I can't make the rescheduled date but it is impossible to reschedule my day. Will see everyone at the March rental. Good Luck!

Just got off the phone with Kevin Sway. We will run tomorrow, but not before 10:30. They will start cleaning the track at 8 when people get in for work.

We can speed up the clean-up if Kevin fires up the jet engine, but it costs $750 to fire that baby up. Not sure it is worth it to get an extra hour of running.

Atco's website is down. Here are directions from a cached page off google:

Take NJ Turnpike to Exit 7, Rt. 206. Take 206 south 15 miles to the Red Lion Circle, after the circle turn right at 2nd traffic light. Go to the 2nd street (Oakshade Road) and turn left. Go 6 miles to track.

From Walt Whitman bridge take 295 north to Exit 36A, Rt. 73 to Berlin Circle. After the circle go to second traffic light which 534. Take 534 east 3 miles to track. From Betsy Ross or Tacony/Palmayra bridge follow Rt. 73 to Berlin Circle. After the circle go to second traffic light which is 534. Take 534 east 3 miles to track.

Take NJ Turnpike to Exit 4 or Rt. 295 north to Exit 36A. Take Rt. 73 south 10 miles to Berlin Circle, After the circle go to second traffic light which is 534. Take 534 east 3 miles to track.

Take exit 88 off Garden State Parkway,take Rt 70 West for 33 miles to Rt 206 circle, proceed for 2.3 miles on Rt 206,make a right at the second light ( Medford Lakes Road), go 2 blocks and make a left on Oakshade Rd, stay on Oakshade (RT534 West, for 7.3 miles and it will bring you right to the track.

Hey guys...

Is it still on for tomorrow? I have a ton of snow outside and I barely got the S-class home. The sleet is pretty bad outside....

Can you give me a heads up?

Thanks......
