There's a 1/4 in MD called 75-80 http://www.7580dragway.com/ and also MIR http://www.mirdrag.com/ southeast of here across the bay, and there's an 8th in Manassass http://www.olddominionspeedway.com/ . Whenever you're going to go, PM me and I'll go with you. I've been waiting to get out to the 1/4 for a while, but I don't want to go by myself...

BTW, I haven't been out to Summit Point yet (I've been invited by a 993 and an STi friend and an M3 I had fun with on rt. 15), but that's a very popular track, and apparently really good. A lot of DCEvo guys go there...

The other 1/4mile track near Frederick, is Mason Dixon Dragway. I haven't been there personally, but from everything I hear, it's a faster track then 75/80.

Summit Point is a good road race track, SCCA and NASA have events throughout the year. They also have FATT's or Friday at the track.

The track in Mechanicsville, MD is MIR. I haven't been there in about 3 years, but I hear it is top notch now.

For anyone interested, 75/80 is scheduled to have their Import/domestic sport compact drags and carshow this Saturday(Oct 16th). There will be atleast 2 evos there running.

Ivan

World Cup is a huge event. I recommend you guys get there early. The lines to get in have been backed up to the main road. I've had friends wait in line for 2 hours for this event.
