Default WTF!!!Atco was sold today to Len Capone Jr....

So my wife is reading me atco's facebook page and the track has been sold.That track has always been real busy and a great track to run at just wish it was closer.Always seemed to be making money to me.How is this going to affect prices. I'm glad it's just a owner change and I hope it's all for the best. First the rumor going around of island closing and now who knows what changes will be made at atco.I hope it's all for the best

I wouldn't worry too much about Atco. The new owner has been around racing for a long time.

Joe Sway ( Previous Owner ) is allegedly under contract with the new owners and will be running the place for the next few years with the option to stay on longer.

I spoke with Kevin Sway last week. All is GOOD. Still the same crew. Still the same track. Just a different owner. Looking forward to March.
