M/D is too far away and too expensive to go for ONE time run. The majority of racers don't go weekly. The only slow down is waiting for somebody to wave you into the burnout box and the a-holes that take 20 minutes to stage. And yes who ever ran the track after Bill stepped down were inept.

Not hardly. I could start a list.

They haven't started until noon on Sundays for at least 50 years, Church. That is why they run Jrs. on Sunday mornings and get them done by noon.

Real racers don't want to wear their stuff out joy riding. One hit and race is fine for most. TnT days are for that.

Is Capital still open?

You should be glad any of these places are still open. If you knew the BS it took to run a track, you might even thank the owner for going through it.

Cap is closed, when 75/80 was still being run by Wilcom it was a great place to go. Plenty of time runs and it didn't take all day. The majority of people that drag race aren't weekly racers, so you should probably accommodate them somewhat. I have raced at M/D on Saturday's and attended many Mopar show/races there. Still the same 2 runs break then eliminations. Just because you start at noon doesn't mean you have to limit time runs. Capitol was the best track. They just call everybody up who wants time runs...not by classes. Not sure what they are going to do with that track. I understand the troubles any business owner encounters.

if Terris Hicks is doing it then it will be all no prep racing. he has $ 10,000 races here at dominion all the time and i think next week he has a $40,000 race for small tire. water burn out only no prep.

It is Terris Hicks and he's posted multiple times on facebook that it will be both No Prep and Prep racing.

Let me clarify, my issue isn’t with the the facility itself. I’ve raced 15 different drag strips over the last 23 years. It is not a facility issue. It’s you Mike.

After my last experience at the track, I had no intentions of returning anyways. I went up to the tower to talk to you, and found orange cones blocking the steps. When I attempted to climb the steps, one of your helpers came out of the tower, stopped me and refused to let me go up and talk to you. You chose to barricade yourself in there. But hey, at least the A/C was cold, right? You made sure to let everyone know that. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a tower barricaded, and a track owner make themselves unavailable. As much as I’d like to say I was surprised by that, watching your antics over the last few years, I’ve learned it’s just par for the course.

I really do hope for your sake Mike, that Capitol, Cecil, or 75&80 never decide to run brackets again.

I only run South Mountain once a year at their Friday evening Mopar race as a matter of fact I will be there Labor Day weekend for the index race. Its a great track and "Mountain Mike " is great I see him all over the facility when I am there talking to people. Any questions I had via email he always answers promptly. I won trophy eliminator with my truck one year at the Mopar race , its a trophy class Mike came up gave me the trophy and gave me a few bucks also saying " thanks for coming here's a few bucks also " He didn't have to do that. Another time I was pitted at the other end of the track and was walking from the tower area back to my pit , he saw me came by on the golf cart and said hop on and he gave me a ride back to my pit. He goes out of his way to help the racers. If it was closer to my home here in North Jersey I would run there more often. I am looking forward to racing both Saturday and Sunday there on Labor Day weekend.

Hurricane Racing Tours - the ones who leases the dragway posted this yesterday on their Facebook page.:

As of today Hurricane Racing Tours will be pulling out from 75&80 Dragway thank you to the ones that have supported us and for the ones that have all the answers and the perfect way to get this track open it's open for you to do so now good luck. I also want to say thanks all the negative people and this is what happens we all should have came as one and pray that this place was able to open

Seems as though Stanley (the owner of the land) won't/hasn't applied for the necessary permits and The Hicks (Operators of Hurricane Racing Tours) are caught in the middle.
