Default Atco v/s Cecil County, which is faster?

Was talking to a buudy of mine about which track to go to. This would of course be a Wednesday night or Saturday morning of course. We all know how track prep can be on Friday nights these days. Which track do you guys think hooks better, so on and so forth. My vote is for Cecil but want others opinions also. Thanks,
Mike

Umm, both are faster?

I love Atco and it is closer to me but I think Cecil might just be faster all else being equal (ie: car, driver skill and air quality etc.).

I think atco hooks better but cecil is faster. When my car was bone stock i would run 14.0 at 100 like it was a bracket car. I could NOT for the life of me ge tin the 13's.... so i went to cecil. My first pass i went 13.7 at 103.... .3 and 3 mph i picked up.

It was also not the weather or my driving b/c i ran 14.0 at 100 honestly 30 times in a row at atco.

Ok retards Proven fact with both of my cars.... Atco is faster!!!!!!!!! Corvette ran 11.0s at 125-126mph with 1.50-1.54 60fts. Cecil also run 11.0's 125-126mph but have to add torco fuel additive to get the car up to that. If I knew this last year the car would've ran a 10.90 at 127mph at Atco My camaro would run 11.2's at 125mph at Atco and 11.3's at 124mph at Cecil. They are very close for sure however there are some slight variables that may help. Atco definetely has the better track prep. Though Cecil has a better burnout area IMO. You can drift your car right up to the line at Cecil and this helps. At atco you have to keep starting the car and moving it and the burnout area is not so nice IMO. Both tracks are close but I give a hands down proven by me and BigRedDawg with his Supra that Atco gets the faster consistantly better results. Cecil can be a hit or miss for times/mph.

Actually, Cecil is running uphill right now. They have been talking about swapping the direction up so it will have a 2* decline instead. Supposedly, it will help attract NHRA events there if they do.

Yeah really LOL, oh and my other favorite: "Atco is only 1318 feet long, not 1320".
Please.
Both tracks are legit, period.

**** cecil. that track is a complete piece of ****. go to atco, same price and they prep their NEWLY REDONE CONCRETE TRACK every night there is racing.

not to mention you have stones shot at you and your car while you are in the lanes, and if you get caught in the front and have to park the car, say goodbye to your paint on the hood and bumper...they hardly pay attention to anything, let alone keeping water in the waterbox, i could go on and on....

the ONLY good thing about cecil is that running NO TIME is free. but the stupid rednecks can hardly figure out how to run the time boards, so half of the time your times are shown anyway running NO TIME or not.
