Where'd you race today?
A few of the local RS owners contacted me and they wanted to go drag racing at State Capitol Raceway on Sunday, 10/29/17, during a regular test-&-tune. Great weather! :)
We arrived at State Capitol Raceway around 10:15am. Density Altitude was around -500 ft. It took a while to get through tech with the amount of street cars racing today. At 11:21am I got my first pass, and my second pass at 12:18pm. The (2) timeslips are described below and can be found in the attached image.
