Atco Dragway (originally Atco Raceway) is a 1/4 mile dragstrip located in the Atco section of Waterford Township, New Jersey.

History

Opened in 1960, it is the oldest drag strip in New Jersey.[1] The track is also sanctioned by the NHRA, the largest sanctioning body in drag racing. Atco Dragway held over 265 events last year[when?], making it one of the busiest tracks in the country.
