2019 Season

Beaver Springs is definitely a better option than South Mountain. Numidia may even be willing to work with whoever on a race.

While South Mountain is a decent track, it's rocket science for them to run a 50-60 car bracket program smoothly on a Sunday afternoon. There is also the factor that they can only run one day a week...although they have been opening that up some. It's 23 miles to SM from my front door, and while I do run there a few times a year, it's not my first choice of places to go.

As for trophies...you're better off trying to get a sponsor for these items. The track is already doing you a favor by hosting your program. Don't inconvenience them any more than you have to.

Why can or does South Mountain only run one day per week?

I have never been there.

I don't want to get into all the details as I don't know the exact story, but issues with the neighbors can sum it up pretty well. There are numerous houses in very close proximity to the track. There were also some issues with the township years ago that exacerbated the situation.

South Mountain Dragway.
Never knew a track was there.

That is an easy location for most Maryland, Pennsylvania.
Even New Jersey and North Virginia.

Capitol Raceway (Capitol not Capital) is right off Rt 50 and to Rt 3.
You can get it from I-95 from Rt 100 or Rt 32
It is also a fast track.

Trophies..
The Tracks get them cheap because they buy direct.
Most expensive part is the label.

I agree- Capitol, Mason Dixon, Budds Creek, Cecil County are all tracks that should be considered for next year.
