I've only been to one test and tune only day and that was on November 26. It was dead. No lines at the ticket booth or for the staging lanes. I was able to get 13 runs in from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM and could have gotten more if I hadn't stopped for a cool down after every 6 runs.

Atco is great (air quality, traction etc.), it's a place where even mere 335rwhp LS1s can click off 11.8s.
I live over 70 miles from Atco and only 35 miles from E-town yet I ONLY race at Atco, there is a damn good reason for this.
