ATCO Elevation Changes

Anyone know what the elevation is for ATCO raceway?

Does it change from the trees to the 1/4 mile mark?

Thanks.

Its a flat track, i dont believe there is an elevation change from the trees to the trap. The elevation is approx 94ft ASL if i remember correctly. I grew up literally 200 yards from the place you would think I would know all this stuff

I love Atco!! I don't think the elevation changes from end to end. One of my favorite tracks in the US. Air is great, track is practically sea level and very very sticky!! My boss ran ran 11.41@120mph (1.57 60 foot) at a national import drag racing event at Atco not power shifting. It was a NA Honda Street car back in 2003.

99 feet above sea level at the tree and 95 feet above sea level at the 1/4 mile mark.

I know it's not perfect but Google Earth shows it level for MOST of the 1/4 mile but with a small drop in elevation (about 2-3 feet) during the last couple hundred feet.
That is such a small drop that you probably couldn't see it with your eye though.
