Default Is tuesday night at Atco worth checking out?

I'm going to be working in Blue Anchor next week and I was looking for something to do. Saw Atco has Tuesday night street car races. Has anybody been there on a Tuesday night?

Even a bad night at Atco beats a great night almost anywhere else LOL.

But yes, Tuesdays at Atco are fun, depending on the time of year it is Gambler's Night which can mean more crowded staging lanes if you're racing but some of those cars are also fun to watch if you're spectating.

I've spent plenty of tuesday nights down there. Like said above, it is gamblers night so it'll be a bit more crowded then say a thursday but pending on when you get there, you'll get at least 3-4 solid passes in.

the gamblers also lay down some good rubber.

so it you are running a slick you will have good prep. however, if you are not running a slick, they will force you to the outside of the groove on the launch.

I won't be running anything since I'll have my work truck. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to end up in *** wagonville.

Nah, it should make for a decent night to watch some racing.
