Capitol Raceway dragstrip this friday!!

Whos down in the md/dc/va area. The weather will suck its supposed to be in the 90's so no record runs will be set but it should be fun to get out and make some runs.

I was just thinking this morning, I hate warm air.

My measured area only yields 134 in the 75F+ degree morning air, while 143 is possible everyday when the temps are under 65F.
