I've never been to a track either. It sounds like fun, though.

There is a McDonalds in the median between the north and southbound lanes of Rt. 3/301 very close to the turnoff for Capital Raceway Rd. They have a pretty big parking lot. We could meet there around 5:30 or 6 for those who work and/or travel some distance. I'm open to suggestions on time and place.

It seems that interest and responses to this idea have fallen off. For any who are still interested, I'll be at the McDonalds mentioned above at 5:00 pm on Friday, September 5th. I hope to see you there.

You need a helmet for a 14.0 or faster at Capitol. But on a Friday it's easy to run without one, when I went a few weeks ago the check-in tech told me to go rent one but I never did.

Make sure you have on pants, non-nylon to be exact, they do strictly enforce that rule.

It did get more expensive then it was in years past, believe I paid about $40 to run, make sure you get there early to get enough runs in, went after work and only got 2 passes.

Thanks for putting this together!

Is this a track or just a drag strip? Can someone post a map of the track ? I'll likely come too. Does the track company record our VIN or plate ?

It is my understanding that it is just a "drag strip". I could be wrong and I will defer to anyone with first hand knowledge. I assume they do record your tag # at least.

I used to go A LOT. It is just a 1/4 mile drag strip.

It's very friendly/people are generally cool. They have a motorcycle lane which is must see....ever seen a hayabusa run 9's?

The track isn't he greatest...pray for no oil leaks/broken cars/etc. Takes them forever to clean up!

Get there early and get your runs in, once it's dark out it gets packed and you'll get like 1 run per hour (sucks and more fun to watch at that point anyway)

Anything 13 and under in the 1/4 requires a helmet and they'll be looking for one (after that first run in the 13's).

$10 to watch $20 to race. Definitely a fun Friday evening event.
