Breaking news: ATCO has closed

[BonzoHansen]

Island is the last drag racing track standing

Effective immediately: Atco Dragway is permanently closed. We will not be open from this point on. The remainder of our schedule for 2023 will be canceled.

Thank you all for your patronage and memories over the years.

Special thank you to our 29th annual Pan American Nationals racers & crowd for making Atco Dragway’s last event the biggest and best one ever. This isn’t the end for import racing in the northeast!

To all of our staff, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sticking it out with us and being the best in the business!

Would have liked to ran there in the fall.

Wild and upset.

An absolutely sad day.

If people would stop street racing and sideshows, maybe Atco would still be here. RIP fastest track in the world :salute:

I started going to Island in 1989 - nothing has changed since then, so probably not.

Island picked up a bunch of racers from Atco, and the Saturday after the announcement was packed. Hopefully Island will maintain operation. They changed things up this year and jacked the fees a bit, but who hasn’t in this economy. Insurance and getting workers has to be tough.

Anniversary Race next Sunday ……..be there!
