Capital Raceway is located on 301 half way between route 50 and 97 on capital raceway street ( 3 miles from my house) I go up there two to three times a month either Friday or Saturday and haven't seen a Harley run there yet! We could change that!!!!!!

Was the first NHRA sanctioned Drag Strip in MD held the NHRA top Fuel record for four years in the 60s. 1/4 mile now privately owned and operated usually has about 100 to 200 cars as a local base on Saturday they still run Pro-MODs as an unsactioned race. Alot of the local racers use it as a test and tune track because it is open tile midnight Fri - Sun New concreate launch as of last year just installed two new sets of stands but other than that it's an old track.

I would be interested in doing the track thing again. I haven't even started the bike since I got home Sunday. I need to change the inner cam bearings from the stockers and check the shoes before I run like that again.

Must mean that there are not any modified Harleys that can run, since the vast majority of HD and aftermarket performance exhausts are stamped with for off-road or race use only. Give or take stock HD exhausts, or maybe some of the 07 weenie exhausts, not much is street legal.

And if they are looking for certification stickers in leather jackets, I'd suspect only the Honda/Kawasaki crowd in bright red, has them...

That is the Street class the prostock class can have any pipes and engine mods but all the safety equip is the same.

Ok, (can't resist)....

I've got a street legal bike, but my pipes are technically "offroad use only", and I pulled my belt guard. What class can I run in?

And I've got a leather jacket with no stickers, is it any good?

My throttle has two cables, but only one spring, will it work?
