We probably wont bring any extra " hoods " from Maine because they are usually "rusty " and aren't worth enough to haul all the way down there. Maybe some crazy Canadian might pay enough to make it worth the long haul!

a couple of questions on how things happen at M-D

1) from looking at the track web site, Saturday is a T&T from noon to 5 PM, do the slant six trials and races run during that time frame, or later?
About what time?

2) and Sunday lists drags from noon to 5,, same question, about what time to the slants run?

3) is the tech inspection any more detailed than the inspection at MPD ?
At MPD the "tech" never left the booth,, for my truck anyway.

4) is there a group area where the slants pit?

5) Where do the slant folks stay. The links for hotels on the track web site are broken. Around Hagerstown there are the Holiday Inn's, Microtels..
10 to 12 miles away from the track. Anything closer / cheaper? Can you tent camp at the track?

thanks, looking forward to it.
John

I will post back this evening John (and everyone)

Thanks Greg for posting up some of that info.

The track will start all the time trials and T & T at noon. Unlike some places, Mason Dixon generally calls us up to race 1st. They really like having us there and treat us great. So you will get 2 time trials, and then eliminations. Racing will be done early evening both days.

You need a helmet if you run under 14.00 No shorts, and no sleeveless shirts

Tech is a quick look under the hood and trunk in a car. See if you have a overflow can or bottle, and battery bolted down tight. If nothing is obviously "unsafe" your good to go.

Greg posted the Picture of the pits. Usually Ron and Kay Hamby come up Friday night and are already in the pits when I get there Saturday morning. So look for Ron's truck/trailer and car.

I will post some of the Motels close by in the next couple days. You can camp at the track also.

I will get there as soon as the gates open Saturday and try and save us some extra pits together.

We will have a drivers meeting at 11:15am. Then Tech will open at 11:30am. Time runs at 12:00am.

I will confirm this on Saturday when I am down there, but everyone should tell them at the gate that you are racing Slant 6 and entry is $15 there. Then come into the pits and you need to give me $20 which is for our payout.

You can run both the Slant 6 race and T&T if you want more runs but you have to pay an additional $30 at the gate and be sure to tell them you are running both Slant 6 and T&T

My wife and I plan to have food and drinks for everyone on Saturday for sure and probably Sunday as well. But there is food at the track also

Me and my Mopar buddy most likely will be there on Sunday to watch. The 87 slant-equipped truck is STILL not ready (trying to get the interior installed) nor is the 65 Dart wagon even close (slant motor still needs to be assembled), interior done, basically completely redone.
