I stopped at Capitol on my way to MIR not long after they reopened a few years ago (2021). Really cool track, they had some interesting...processes...at the time. Fairly large facility, decent length shutdown, plus it's uphill. When I was there, they were using some funky portable timing system...Race America. It was giving me weird incremental times. Hopefully that is gone. I didn't have any problems with traction, they seemed to be using a good bit of glue.

The traffic on Route 3 can be downright ridiculous. If you don't know where you're going and miss the turn, you will play hell getting your rig turned around. It wasn't bad late at night leaving, but getting there on a Friday afternoon was interesting.
