I think that Test and Tune has been cancelled for this week (it was supposed to occur on Sundy - I just checked the WebSite). I may be there on opening week (whenever that is), but not with my SE-R.

Also, Mason-Dixon Dragway near Hagerstown, MD (http://www.masondixondragway.com/) and 75-80 Dragway near Frederick.

Mason-Dixon's season opens Saturday March 2 with a test and tune, and I'm going to try to be there.

Ah yes, Mason-Dixon. I've been to Mason-Dixon with the SE-R once. As a matter of fact, it was opening day last year. Traction was a serious issue for just about everyone (heh, some guy in a 3000GT VR-4 was even complaining). However, you can get a good amount of runs in if you get there early. I made eight passes in four hours (impossible at Capitol nowadays), and I spent a good amount of time with the car parked in the field checking out other cars, playing with ignition timing, etc.

SE-RGuz · 02-17-2002, 02:23 AM

I've heard a lot of people say they don't like Mason-Dixon for that same reason. Apparently the track is always like that. Thats why Most people perfer the 75/80 track. Myself, I've been to both and I like 75/80 better too.

skrible66 · 02-19-2002, 06:32 PM

i usally go to mir, or dinwiddy for 1/4 mile, but 1/8 i go to sumerduck, or colonel beach....

chann 200sx · 02-19-2002, 08:52 PM

capital was open sunday for test and tune and will remain open as long as the weather stays above 45 on sundays

Pit_Viper · 02-28-2002, 04:33 PM

According to their web page, Capitol Raceway will be open tomorrow night (http://www.capitolraceway.com). I'll be there if they don't decide to change plans at the last minute...

jbanach77 · 03-02-2002, 12:37 AM
