CURFEW AT CAPITOL RACEWAY ENDS NEOPMA PRO MOD SERIES FINALS WHICH WILL BE CONTESTED AT JUNE 15TH ATCO EVENT




(06-04-2013) Crofton, MD – The Management at "The New Capitol Raceway" had the track ready for the oppressive heat. During the first session of Qualifying many drivers were just finding a tune up to get down the 140+ degree track!  In the second session of qualifying Fred Scriba runs an amazing 6.10 in the heat to show he is ready for all weather and track conditions. Dwayne Wolfe also ran a good number during the heat, running a 6.24 with his blown firebird.  Gerry Capano and Gary Courtier had a side by side race with Capano running a career best with a 6.10 after he was struggling with that car the last couple of races, and Courtier ran a 6.23 with his beautiful Nitrous Camaro.
"Capitol Raceway is such a great track to race," Gary Courtier said. "The improvements to the track and facilities were outstanding. Their hospitality was second to none, as they had cold water at the starting line and the top end turn off which was awesome considering the 95+ degree heat."

Due to the Midnight curfew in Crofton MD, and less than 30 minutes to turn the Pro Mods around, it was decided to complete the finals at the next NEOPMA event June 15th during the last qualifier at Atco Dragway in Atco New Jersey.

The NEOPMA Pro Mod Series continues with the Door Wars Thrill Show, June 15th at Atco Dragway, Atco NJ.
