Talking Atco Track Rental - November 20th

I've been organizing an annual Atco track rental for 7 years. Local NJ Fbody folks will be attending but this is open to all types of cars. The date is confirmed and deposit has been paid. I am looking for another ~10 racers to attend. We've had cars of all speeds attend 8 sec to 12's with most in the 9-11 sec range. Last year we had a McLaren 650s show up and this year, the owner will be running a new 720s. We normally get 20-30 cars every year with a great group of people.

If you are interested, please PM me and I will provide the PayPal addy for your deposit.

General Details: RENTAL WILL BE AT ATCO RACEWAY. THE DATE IS SET FOR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH.

Where:
Atco Dragway
1000 Jackson Road, Atco, NJ

Rental Guidelines:

- Rental starts at 9:30AM and ends at 4:30PM
- No street tires. You must be running a drag oriented tire (Drag radial, slick, etc)
- $20 non-refundable per person/car deposit required ($200 total deposit required to book the date)
- $180 balance due at the rental per person/car CASH
- 10 cars required
- No walk-on racers. If you did not pre-pay, no racing.
- Proper safety gear required
- If the weather is poor, the rental will be rescheduled.
- A complete list of rental guidelines courtesy of Atco can be found here: http://atcodragway.rocks/?page_id=163/

What to expect when you arrive:
- Plan to arrive early!
- Find me so you can provide the rental balance of $180 CASH (check in sheet will be signed by you and me)
- Once paid in full, you will receive a tech sheet. Complete the document and keep it with you/car.
- Atco tech will come around to collect the tech sheets from each car.

CLARIFYING BASED ON COMMENTS BELOW. TRACK WILL BE FRESHLY PREPPED BY ATCO ON THE DAY OF THE RENTAL. THIS WILL BE THEIR STANDARD PREP USED FOR ALL RENTALS.

We are not paying for additional prep (for further down track) but based on prior years, I've never heard anyone complain. We've had a few 8 sec cars down the track. Aside from a few small exceptions, everyone needs to run a DR or better to maintain the prep. I'd love to see your car come out.

You just said

You are relying on prep left over from the night before. That is "no prep" to me unfortunately. Not a knock on you, this is your BBQ, run it as you see fit.

I should have been more clear. The track will be prepped by Atco on the day of the rental. This is their standard prep they do for all rentals and no different than what I've done for the past 6 rentals. We are not relying on prep from the night prior and never have. I was only indicating that we aren't paying for extra prep for further down the track. I believe you attended my rental last year or the one prior right? This would be no different.

Yea I will reschedule if it looks like there's a significant chance of rain. Forecast is moving around and differs significantly from site to site. I spoke with Atco today and we will plan to make a decision tomorrow.
