NVCC Caravan: NVCC members interested in caravanning up should meet at Newgate Shopping Center parking lot (corner of Routes 28 and 29 in Centreville) at 6:20 AM, leaving at 6:30 AM SHARP for a very nice scenic cruise through the mountains on the way to the drag strip.

If you are interested in riding up with me, please email me at lilredcorvette94@yahoo.com and let me know. After the event, we usually grab lunch to decompress after a day of racing!

Directions to the caravan start point are as follows:

From 66 Westbound, take Exit 53A to Route 28 South and then take the Route 29 South Exit, immediately turning right into the parking lot. There is a Sunoco gas station, Joann's Fabrics, Trader Joe's, and a Fast Eddie's in this plaza.

Directions to Mason Dixon Dragway are as follows:

If you are coming from Washington DC or Baltimore get on Rt. 70 and head toward Frederick, Md. Once at Frederick stay on Rt. 70 WEST toward Hagerstown. Follow Rt. 70 until you reach Rt. 66 (Exit 35). Once at the bottom of the ramp turn LEFT onto Rt. 66 South, go about 1/2 miles until you reach Rt. 40 (you will see a Sheetz convenience store at the intersection), turn LEFT (east) on Rt. 40 and go just another 1/2 mile, the Dragstrip entrance will be on your right.

For all of those that did not make the event - you missed a fun morning. I got in a total of 14 passes and could have done twice that many if I had wanted to. Ran my best ever late in the day. Street tires.
RT = .259
60 = 1.955
1/4 = 12.563
MPH 111.90
RT and 60 foot could have been a lot better but all I could do was feather it off the line. 3000 RPM and drop the clutch, spin for 15-20 ft and then hard on the gas after the tires hooked. Off throttle shifts. I ran some 113 114 MPH runs but could never link a fast ET to MPH -----

Nice job, Curtis! I agree, it was a fun morning. Glad everyone had a good time. Nice turnout of vettes! Hopefully next month even more come out for the fun (and keep the broken car parts to a minimum).

I'll be posting next month's drag day shortly!

Sorry for the bump of an old thread, but a friend of mine from the NVMC came across this set of very nicely-shot videos on YouTube today of this particular drag day. If you watch you can see a lot of vettes there, including myself and Don Ellenberger, Scott Ziegler, and Curtis Judge to name a few. Enjoy!
