--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atco Raceway Sold
Atco, NJ Wednesday December 19, 2012 –Atco Raceway was sold in its entirety to Mr. Len Capone Jr. of Berlin, New Jersey. The negotiation for the oldest continually operating drag strip on the East Coast took over 16 months and has concluded on a Win light for all…the track will continue to operate as it has in the past.
The Capone families are very familiar with the racing scene and have a great passion for the sport of drag racing. Len Capone Sr. a racer himself who was present for the 1960 opening day of Atco Raceway worked in the tech department on Memorial Day weekend. Len Capone Jr. started as a sportsman racer and is very well known for his Top Alcohol Funny Car “The Bear” that raced the strip in the late 80’s and 90’s.
Joe Sway has been retained as Director of Operations and is under exclusive contract for 2013 and 2014 with 3-1 year options to follow.
The 2013 tentative schedule will be posted on the web site AtcoRaceway.com mid January. There are no major changes to the race schedule for 2013~a couple of new races will be added but for the most part you will see our lineup has not changed.
Atco Raceway would like to thank everyone for their participation in the 2012 race season. We are positive that the continued support of all racers, fans and patrons will continue to make this a racing destination and the #1 track on the East Coast.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!

With Island being closed, they should see a decent increase in racers at their track.

Why can't people just accept the risk we all take when we stage the car? You do something that is dangerous, that you know can potentially get you killed, so why blame someone else when something happens?

23. After CRUZ crashed, the ambulance that was owned, operated and maintained by ATCO failed to start and was unable to get to CRUZ in order to put out the fire and offer him immediate medical assistance. The fire was put out by CRUZ’s son, who ran down the track to assist.
Wow...
