Outlaw 10.5

Capitol Raceway once again brings us another great show with Outlaw 10.5 and Drag Radial
Classes, The 8th race of the 2007 season included 2 classes of heads up door slamming action
And the weather could not of been any better. Each race this year gets better and better with
More cars making the show and new comers showing up at each race leaves you to wonder
What the next race will bring. I know I am looking forward to the next race in 2 weeks and hope to see Capitol keep both classes running strong. But not to leave out the one guy who kept at Capitol to try OPS again and to bring in the drag radial class and that would be Terris Hicks. Terris has worked with Capitol Raceway in the 2007 season trying to get the OPS race off the ground and now the Drag Radial cars. Terris all so worked with D&S photography to get this website for race coverage, hopeing that the website would help get the word out there to other racers that Capitol Raceway hears what the racers want and is trying to make the show work for both the track and the racers. So what can be done to make this a better show?
How about a few sponsors to help get the payouts higher to help make it worth the trip for some of the drivers that have long drives. I seen someone say let the drivers that have long

Pulls in for free to help off set the cost of getting to the track. I for one think that would be a great idea, but let's keep in mind that there is still a payout to be covered so money is needed and sponsors is where that money will need to come from. So if you in a position to help and want to be part of a great show please contact Capitols office and Talk with Kim at 410-793-0661 or 410-793-0662 this is your chance to be part of a great show. So enough with the pillow talk and lets get on with the show.

Outlaw Pro Street 10.5 with 9 cars trying to get into 8 spots every one would have to be on their game. The crew at Capitol doing their best to prep a hot track felt they had the track ready to handle the power of these hard hitting street machines.

Drag Radial seems to be a hot new class here at Capitol. Street class cars with lots of power. I know this class has lots more cars to offer and I think a few Capitol regulars will join in on this class. But for this race we had 7 cars to enjoy and after 2 rounds of qualifying here is how they stacked up.
