Atco in the early 70s

Thanks Mark. Great effort you have going there. Facinating cars with tremendous capability. The lengths that the factory was going to in order to remain competitive was crazy!

A guy I know through work claims his father was co-owner of Atco Raceway and Cecil County Raceway back in the 70s. Apparently, this gentleman has a ton of photographs and memorabilia. Every time I see him I mention Atco Raceway and that I would like to meet his father to talk and see the photographs. Maybe one of these days I will get a chance to talk with this guy.

great pics Norm.. I was going to Atco and Cecil back at the same time as a kid with my Dad. We knew Jack Worell really well! That one pic of his green 69 Mustang Conv with the name King Cobra was my childhood favorite car. He has an Arco in Feasterville on street road across from Bucks county mall. Ahh the memories.

Norm,
I'm not sure if your question was addressed to me or not, but I do not remember that car myself. I'll print a copy of it and show it to Ronnie the next time we get together (he has no computer). He might know.

Whoever it was, he stole the name Wildfire from Mr. Ronnie Evans who was running a '62 Impala with the same name since '65. And BTW, his current Wildfire car just turned a 10.04 in heat.
