Friday, November 25th Drag Meet - Capitol Raceway
Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 24th this year and Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD is having a test-n-tune on "Black Friday", November 25th.
Gates open at 5:00pm, test-n-tune from 5:30-11:00pm. $10 to spectate, $20 to race. Last year when SVXRide did some 1/4 mile runs at Capitol on the Friday after Thanksgiving, temps hoovered in the low 40's to upper 30's! Fast times are guaranteed, but dress warmly folks!!!!  Go to Capitol Raceway's website for directions: http://www.capitolraceway.com -Chike P.S. EDIT for Directions The address Capitol Raceway lists on their website isn't recognized by any of the major navigation websites. I did some digging on-line and the actual street address of the Racewway is: 1455 Jackson Rd, Odenton, MD 21113 Plug this address into either Mapquest or Yahoo! maps and you'll be taken all the way to Capitol Raceway Rd which leads to the dragstrip. You can also use the directions Capitol Raceway lists on their website at: http://www.capitolraceway.com/location.htm  From the South Take I 95 North to 495 North to Rt. 50 East to Route 3 North, Go through 4 lights (approx 6 miles) into Crofton. Follow the Capitol Raceway signs and turn left at the Wendy's. Crossover to Route 3 South. Get in the right lane and Capitol Raceway Rd is 100 feet on the right. From the North Take 95 South to 895 through the Harbor Tunnel to Route 97S to Maryland Route 3 South. Go approximately 3 miles and turn right onto Capitol Raceway Road or take 95 S TO 695 East to 97S to MD Route 3 South to a right on Capitol Raceway Road. If you use 83 S take 695 West to 97 S to Rt. 3 S to Capitol Raceway Rd.

Chike,
I'm there! (just have to make sure the engine is back together!  ). FYI - it was so "cold" last year that the VHT they spray on the track wasn't providing any "bite" -- my car wasn't hooking up until around mid track!-Bill

I should be able to make it but I cannot promise the 5mt will be making an apearance as it could be hibernating by then. If I end up having to drive the silver, I will not be racing but I will be designated camera man

-Bill ps. how's that 5 spd doing? Think the synchros have at least one more launch in them? You still sure you want to risk it? Having Chike serve you a serious smack down and having your trans blow at the same time would be worthy of a separate thread

The trans itself is in great shape... Besides the fact that second grinds, the rest fo the trans functions normally, I have been driving it daily like this for a solid 3 months. I will still launch 50% harder than you and I will still be losing 5-10% less power than you, and I will still.....Um not sure how to put this, BEAT THE LIVING CRAP out of "Bill-stock" Level... whatever the level is then. Will you be at level exseventybillion yet?? Well anyway "tom-stock" Stage 2v2 will be incredible and no one at the meet with the exception of maybe Tom will be able to catch this black bandit. Like the sig says, im so fast, it's hard to catch myself

You're right though...Tom (Svxfiles) is the real dark horse of this meet. When he gets the stage 2v4 installed, there's no telling just how fast he'll go since he's running 8lbs of boost! Might see a 13 second pass that night... -Chike
