Never been to the track, but I want to go and run a few. What's Atco cost? Do you just show up on a Friday or Saturday, or are those days reserved for the really modded cars? I'll get my *** handed to me most of the time because my TA is stock, but what the hell, what's the point of buying this car if I can't enjoy it's abilities?

How many runs did you guys get? I'm hitting Etown tonight, but maybe I'll head down to Atco next Tuesday. The last time I went to Atco on a tuesday it was a damn zoo.

If you can go to atco another night besides tuesday do it. Tuesday is geared towards the gamblers so you only get a few runs in. If you come late maybe 2. I got in 5 runs last night.
