    Went to Atco...

    Made the 350 mile trip to Jersey for a GTO get together and to see if the track lives up to the hype. It is def a nice track and ended up running a new personal best despite temps in the high 50's low 60's. Ran a 12.61@109.89 with a 1.87 60'. Ran a 12.65 and a 12.71 all in the 109's. Def gonna go back next year after I actually put some worthwhile mods on it.

    2 10ths and 2mph. Nice. That seems to be the general gains by going from prp to atco.

    Would have liked to haven taken the 302 down there before it died but oh well.

    I believe it is close to 1000ft difference. Atco is pretty much at sea-level.

    That would be a cool trip, I haven't been near Jersy since 92... does it still smell? lol I wouldn't want to bust anything out there either.

    Ha I was too tired after driving all night to notice any smell. I would def take a trailer if i had more power or a 6spd in case i snapped an axle.
