Saturday Portion of BOTI - Atco, NJ Cancelled Due to Rain
Day One of Round-3 of the Battle of the Imports at Atco Raceway located in Atco, NJ was met with periods of rain mixed with lightning storms that forced the cancellation of Saturday's qualifying rounds for all classes.

However, the local forecast calls for clear and sunny skies for Sunday. Qualifying will resume on Sunday morning with two-rounds of qualifying followed by the remainder of the schedule which includes eliminations, carshow and all stage activities.

"This wasn't a typical 'rain-out', commented Frank Choi, Battle of the Imports. "There was periods of heavy rain and winds which destroyed plenty of EZ-Ups and a freak lightning storm that caused some minor electrical damage to the tower's electronic components. Luckily, the folks at Atco Raceway are working non-stop replacing timing equipment and computers."

Round-3 at Atco should present some exciting action in Pro-FWD with Chris Rado's inaugural event with the series. He is looking to be the first Pro-FWD competitor to break into the 6's. Gary Gardella (Howell, NJ) is looking to gain valueable points against current points leader Ed Bergenholtz (Santa Ana, CA).

The event will also feature a competitive carshow with over 100 awards available for imports, sport compacts, late models domestics, trucks and SUV's. Fans have a chance to interact with some of the industry's finest manufacturers such as Greddy Performance, ACT Clutches, Exedy Racing Clutch, Impo Performance and much more. The giant Scion "What Moves You" stage has plenty of activitied in store such as go-go dancers, interactive games, live DJs, swimsuit contest and much more.
