Sunday  --  Nov. 13th


This was a Test & Tune event and a Quick 16 race that was rained out last weekend. Yes it was a chilly one, mostly cloudy, breezy and temps in the low 40's greeted a nice turn out of race fans and 126 racers. We got underway with the Qualifyer for the Quick 16 cars. After many Test & Tune cars made passes we got in the second run for the Quick 16 group. More Test & Tune cars ran then round one of Quick 16. In the end Jerry Williams won out over Mark Decker, Pat Hahn and Mike Daymude were the semi racers. Oh, how about Jerry Williams wrapping up his sixth Southern Outlaw Top Sportsman championship in the last 15 years! I know he wins his share of Quick 16 events on our Street Nite races. We also ran a no entry fee $1,000.00 to win 1/8 mile race. This final was to be run about 4:30 pm, now it was getting very cold and the two finalists, Dave Clinedinst and Chris Kelican decided to split the money and not make the run, both ended up with $500.00. We had several cars break drive train stuff and a couple of oil downs needed clean up too. Track staff handled all of this quickly so we could get back to racing. An overall good day, we finished up at 4:30 pm.

Ok, this is it. Sunday Nov. 20th, the annual Turkey Race, Junior Dragsters start at 9:30 am. big cars at 11:30 am. Turkeys are given to class winners and runner ups. Let's make this a big grand finale of the 2022 race season, see you at Mason Dixon Dragway Sunday!  Please Watch the weather as freezing temps May cause Turkey Race to be cancelled. Racing can not be conducted safely in 30 degree weather.


Saturday  --  Nov. 5th

This was the Kevin Fowler Memorial race with many of the Fowler family in attendance, some racing and many just enjoying the day. It was a warm and humid day, more like late summer than November. This event was open to the public, many did the Test & Tune thing and we had a number of early arrivals for the next day's Stock / Super Stock event making big wheel standing launches on many passes. About 1:30 we did run a no entry fee 1/8 mile race, $400.00 winner take all deal. In the final Rick Wenger in his 66 Chevelle won out of Carl Schode in his Chrysler Super Stock GT car in a close one. We finished out the day at 4:30 pm after everyone made plenty of passes. Overall a good day.

Sunday  --  Nov. 6th

In early morning hours the track was really wet after the overnight showers rolled through. After a lot of track drying we decided to proceed but run everything 1/8 mile. Drying was tough, sky high humidity and low clouds hampered getting the track ready. We did get underway at 11:30 am. First out were 42 Harry Huntzberry Memorial Stock / Super Stock entries, again hard launches, wheel stands were what race fans witnessed as we got going. Next up 23 Quick 16 cars made the their runs. Cory Carper was low ET with 4.69 @149 mph, Kevin Moore rode the bump spot at 5.75 ET. Four cars ran in the 4's. A good field. Next up was the 32 car Hi-Roller pre entered group shooting for the $3000,00 to win, $1,000.00 runnerup and $500.00 semi final prize money. Lastly the Test & Tune gang made passes about 65 entries were with us. As we got through part of the Stock / Super Stock round two of qualifying passes.......it rained, not super heavy but steady that lasted about an hour. With humidity so high it probably would have taken us to late in the afternoon to get the track right for racing so we called it a day. This was about 3:30 pm. Refunds went to the Stock / Super Stock racers and to the Hi-Roller racers. This event had the makings of a really good race, thanks to all that attended, racers and race fans.

This Sunday a Test & Tune day, a free no entry fee 1/8 mile race if we have 60 cars racing. Nov. 20th is the Grand Finale.....The annual Turkey race, Junior Dragsters, Super, Pro, with Bikes who run with Pro and Sportsman, all classes this day are 1/8 mile. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

We had the usual nice mix of full on drag cars, fast street cars, bikes and one Junior Dragster. Hailey Lindamin with her dad Nick has been out regularly in her Junior Dragster, she made several low 8.90 passes with good reaction times on every run. She'll be tough in 2023 no doubt. About 1 pm we ran our our $500.00 to win no entry fee race with 26 entries. In the end Steve Dustin, last weeks $1,000.00 winner lined up against Scott Drayer behind the wheel of Wayne and Tammy Skelly's Chevy Blazer.

This was our GM race which once again was greatly affected by a forecast of rain in the early afternoon. That no doubt hurt the show car turnout hosted by the Heart of Maryland Chevy Car Club.

Pro was won by Dave Slusher Jr. over Mike Rodgers, Robert Bowers took third place. A fair number over Camaro / Corvette class racers made many passes as losers came back and made more time runs.

We thank all that participated in both days of racing, sooner than later we'll get cooperating weather and weather forecasting.   

Another Street Nite Saturday and a Summit ET Series event on Sunday, see you Mason Dixon Dragway this coming weekend!

Friday  --  July 22nd


This was another Test & Tune event running from 6 pm to 10 pm. Again it was really hot, temps in the low 90's as we got underway. Everyone made plenty of runs as the turnout was down some, no doubt the really hot weather played into the attendance for this event.

Saturday  --  July 23rd

This was a Summit ET series race with the start time moved back to avoid the high temps predicted. We started the racing at 5 pm with our Eastern Regional Championship Junior Dragster racers. There were 26 racers in this class and we did get in the two time runs and two rounds of eliminations and the the sky darkened, winds came up and then the "R" word, rain and lots of it, after an hour or so and raining still, we called the event. We did get Pro cars and some of the Super cars their qualifying time shot in but that was it. Weatherman still being tough on us for sure. 

Sunday  --  July 24th

The Summit ET race for today was cancelled. We made this call Saturday evening with high 90's temps and high humidity predicted making just it to much for all to deal with. A good call, Sunday was brutal.

This weekend, Saturday is Street Nite and Sunday the GM race. We have suspended Friday Nights for now though will do Friday night Test & Tune, Aug. 12th and Sept. 2nd. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Friday  --  July 8th


This was a Test & Tune event that was certainly affected by the weather. Forecast for rain showers around 9 pm happened as predicted. The skies looked awful all late afternoon this coupled with a less than great forecast made for a small turn out. Those that came made many runs, a good variety of cars ran fast, several real fast street cars ran high 9's and low 10 second passes. We were able to race til just after 9 pm then light rain moved in, we had to call it a night. A big thanks to those that did choose to be with us!

We finished up about 3:20 pm, a good day for sure.

Sunday  --  April 3rd

Another Test & Tune day getting underway at 11:30 am. Weather went a bit downhill, windy, cloudy and barely hit 50 degrees but good enough to go drag racing. We had 53 cars, Bikes and Jr. Dragsters making many runs. Even though we were a bit short on cars for our no entry fee race, it takes 60 cars, we ran it anyway. Chris Crawford in the Al's Body Shop entry won out over Dylan Moore in the final in a close race. By the time we were done at 3:30 it was in the mid 40's and windy, yeah, it's going to get warmer soon! The track worked well both days, overall two good days of racing. Oh, Joe Bradley, our EMT doing well and may visit us this weekend!

Saturday, April 9th is another Test & Tune event and our first Summit ET Series race is Sunday April 10th, Junior Dragsters start at 9am, big cars 11:30 am. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  March 25th


This was day one of the 2022 drag race season on a cold and windy day. Temps in the mid 40's, cloudy, windy and even some snow flurries were what our racers dealt with on this Test & Tune day. We had 61 cars, bikes and junior dragsters making numerous runs and our usual no entry fee $500.00 to win race. Kaitlin Kraus was making her first ever passes in a gorgeous all black S & W dragster. Jason Amey made a couple of easy test hits then Kaitlin ran six flawless 4.90 passes, the last two were each 4.90 @ 142 mph with 1.10 sixty foot times. Well done. Jason Staub had his new Mustang here making test hits, two runs made, neither run full out, last one 1.18 sixty foot, stunning car. The no entry $500.00 race had the Wenger brothers in the final. Rick won it 6.451 on a 6.45 dial, Darius right there, 6.47 on his 6.45 dial. Both drivers drove great and their cars work really well too. Good job to all our track staff gang. Great track, the event went smoothly. Great having Linda and Trish back on opening day, both had a rough winter, each battled stuff but sure enough were with us to get year started! We wrapped things up at about 3:40 pm, an overall good start of 2022 race season.

Sunday  --  March 27th

About 2 pm Saturday with a really cold and windy day predicted for the Sunday event we canceled it and announced it too. A good call, it never hit 40 degrees, the winds howled all day, like dead of of winter, good call there. Joe Bradley our terrific EMT missed today as he is in the hospital and was to have surgery on his leg on Monday. He'll laid up for a few weeks, we all wish him a speedy recovery!

This coming weekend April 2nd and 3rd are both Test & Tune days. On Saturday the East Coast Impala Drag Series cars will run their double race also. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway! It's good to be back!


END of 2021 Racing Season
Saturday  --  November 20th


The Turkey race, the last of the racing for 2021. The Junior Dragsters kicked it off with 11 entries, they were the real diehards too. It was 24 degrees at 9 am when the first time runs were made. We gave them three time runs as the cold natured cars would need it to run well. On the week of her 11th birthday, Braelin Bowie won the race over the several time winner this year, A. J. Heiner. Braelin picked up the $200.00 first place money and a turkey for her efforts, A. J. got $100.00 and a turkey for the runnerup spot. Connor Boyd was the third place racer. Way to go to Braelin and all our Junior Dragster racers for their racing and sportsmanship they've shown all year! Now the big cars, we got them underway right at 11:30 am, one time run and go, all classes were 1/8 mile. Super Pro was won by Rocky Moore who was dead on the dial in the final over Carrie Witman's 4.50 @ 149 mph dragster in a close one. Mark Coover and Dave Slusher Jr. were the semi racers. Pro was the big class, 55 entries and Rocky Moore won this class too over Dave Raser, Danny Hoff took third place. Sportsman had Carlos DeJesus over Roger Dalton Jr. Chris Hammond was third. Finally in Trophy it was Marshall Wardrope over Bobby Myers. All winners and runnerups received turkeys with the usual money payout. We finished up about 4:15 pm and by then it was windy, cloudy, raw and cold about 40 degrees. A really great last day of racing though the cold temps kept some at home. 

Another really good year, some rainouts, probably an average amount but most races were well attended, good car counts and a good number of race fans. We can't thank everyone enough, racers, their family and crew members, our race fans, sponsors, track staff and lastly our top shelf owners, Elmer & Cathy Wachter for another excellent year at Mason Dixon Dragway. Please everyone stay safe and have a great holiday season, we'll back next March! Are we ready to start yet??


Saturday  --  Nov. 13th

Well we gave it a shot. We opened the gates though sprinkles and light showers were forecast just ahead the 11:30 am start time. The rain arrived and heavier than predicted and we cancelled out for the day.

Sunday --  Nov. 14th

Yes it was chilly and breezy but we got through the day just as light showers / snow flurries rolled in. The Stock / Super Stock racers put on a great show with hard launches and amazing high and long wheelstands, even the stockers on 9" wide tires stood 'em  up on many of the passes. 28 cars made round one and in the final it was Bob Bender  in his P/SA 69 Chevy Kingswood wagon winning over the quick C/SA Chevy Camaro driven by Wallace "Pie" Dent. Both these cars were a full second under their indexes today and ran strong. The semi racers were John Evans in his COPO FS/B Camaro over Ron McClelland in his N/SS 66 Dodge Coronet. By the way the winner purse $2,000.00 runnerup money $500.00 and semi racers got $200.00. We did run a Test & Tune day with 78 cars racing and halfway through the day we ran the no entry fee 1/8 mile race. Fred Shipley III won the $500.00 over J R Starliper, Pat Hahn was third. Stuart Hirsch got to make several passes in his newly purchased 68 Pontiac Firebird running 11.10 @ 121 mph on the quickest pass. Lester and Pat Holtzapple were there and crew chiefed the whole deal for Stuart, thanks Lester and Pat. We finished up at 4:15 pm.

One more!! This Saturday Nov. 20th The Turkey Race. Junior Dragsters 9:30 am big cars 11:30 am, one time run and go, ALL CLASSES 1/8 mile! Super, Pro, Sportsman, Bike and Trophy contested. Sunday would be used as the rain date only. See you at Mason Dixon Dragway this Saturday!


Saturday  --  November 6th

This was the last Street Nite event for the 2021 race season and it was a really good, well attended event. A cool day in the low 50's as we got underway right at 11:30 am. We decided quickly to go with one time run in the bracket classes because of the large turnout of those cars. Quick 16 had a 5.70 bump. in the finals it was Marcus Henry over Jerry Williams with Remy Eagan and Darlene Staub the semifinalists. 5.90 Index was won by Pat Hahn over Rodney Eichleberger. The biggest Index class, 25 entries, was the 6.50 group. Todd Haskell won over Wayne Shultz. 7.10 Index is growing, Mark Gray took the win over Ted Leatherwood. How about Pro Street, yep, Nancy Kovack killing the tree again won the class over Michelle Plasterer. This is Nancy's third win in the last four Street Nite races. She hammers the tree and Nova runs the number! Sportsman had 53 entries, James Standifer won over Eric Dubois. Finally in Drive In Street was taken by Dean Harmon over Charles Witherow. Great racing and cooperation from the racers as in the last hour of racing the temperature dropped to 40 degrees just as we finished at 6:40 pm. We really pushed to get done before it really got cold and we pulled it off. A big thanks to all that have supported the Street Nite events, racers, crew and family members, fans and to our track staff and owners, these are fun events, watch our schedule for next year's race dates.

Sunday  --  November 7th

Another Test & Tune event getting underway at 11:30 am it was cool and windy too. We had over 100 entries so we did run our no entry $1,000.00 to win 1/8 mile race. Mark Gray, who won the 7.10 Index the night before won over Roger Bard. Lots of passes made by everyone, we stayed a little longer than scheduled wrapping this up at 4:10 pm. Another good Test & Tune day.

This weekend, Tes & Tune Saturday and Stock / Super Stock and Gamblers on Sunday. See you at Mason Dixon Dragway this weekend!

Saturday  --  Oct. 16th
 
Weather messed with this one. It was cloudy, windy and cooler with rain approaching. We called Junior Dragsters to the lanes and to their credit 42 racers completed the entire class in just over 2 hours, outstanding on their part. Cole Foskey won over Hagen Keyes. Yes we got Pro started, 40 pairs went down the track but then the light but steady rain moved in. The action stopped, the rain didn't and we had to call it a day after waiting it out for a good while. 
 
Sunday  --  Oct 17th
 
Now it was darn right chilly, temps in the 50's, gusty breezes and partly cloudy skies were with us all day. 46 Junior Dragsters started at 9 am sharp, with 100 % buybacks they completed two rounds in less than an hour. At 11:30 they were done, Isabella Ritchey won over Roman Balaska, Madison Stotler took third.

Bike had 35 entries, Mike Shulz over Tom Dunham, Wes Garman on his sled took third place. 353 racers competed and finished up the event at 7:30 pm. 
 
Final thoughts, many good things and people I'll miss but here goes. The whole SBRA thing works, all seven tracks were well represented, the racers, track owners, team captains the race fans and sponsors all make this a really good event each year. $72,000.00 purse is really good without sky high entry fees or expensive buy backs. Track prep / maintenance excellent. Timeliness of racing each day was right on time for each day of racing activities. Having Gary Gore and Hayne Dominick with us is always a big plus. Great performances by all the racers, numerous .000 lights and dead zero runs. Minimal clean up / down time for the 7,000 plus runs and 1,700 entries over 5 days. How about the points, it was once again Team Beaver Springs with 93, Mason Dixon 85, Eastside 65, Summerduck 60, Keystone 58. South Mountain 55 and US 13 49. Now lastly for the Mason Dixon track staff starting at the top. Elmer and Cathy Wachter who own the track, Trish, Cheryl, Don, Bub and Becky, Karen, Jasmine, Linda, Jess, Brittany, Suzette, Troy, Jake, Scott, Walt, Fran, Josh, Ronnie, Justin, Lance, Connor, Hannah, Angie, Joe and Ashley. Also helping with the announcing was Courtney Suders, Ray Thurston IV, Steve Dickey, Rick Zeigler, John Binkle. Tony Tumberello and Elmer too. Joe Martz and Brian Kuhn did the invocation before our National Anthem each day. I'm sure I missed something or someone, an age thing I guess. Anyhow, another great SBRA Bracket Finals in the books!
 
See you this Saturday for a Street Nite race, time runs start at 11:30 am, see you at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Notes on the weekend. Thanks to all the extra money thrown in for our Junior Dragster drivers and to Mutt & Jeff Promotions for the $300.00 additional money that went to Super car winners and semi racers. Again our race staff did a great job all weekend keeping things moving, giving racers a great track and our to foodstand gang doing their excellent work as they always do. How about Toni Smith singing the National Anthem on Monday, WOW, Awesome!! Our EMT Joe Bradley got to make his first drag strip passes. He made two easy ones, the  last one was in the 14's at 106 mph. I think he liked going down the track. The Mason Dixon deal really is a "family", it starts at the top with Wachter family, the staff, racers, race fans and our sponsors. This is a good place to work and race! We are here Saturday, Street Nite and Sunday an all run $1,000.00 to win event and Outlaw Pontiacs. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway! 

Friday  --  Aug. 27th
 
This was to be a Test & Tune night but weather again won out, rain hit before the track was to open, lightning and storms were in the area forcing us to cancel out the racing. 
 
Saturday  --  Aug. 28th
 
This was a Test & Tune event starting at 2 pm. With threatening weather again in the forecast the turnout was down some but we did have 51 cars making many passes. About 4:45 light rain rain moved in then a few minutes later it got serious and the rain dumped on us. We did try to run the $500.00 no entry fee race earlier even though we were several cars short of the 60 car minimum. Weather sort of won out on us again.
 
Sunday  --  Aug. 29th
 
Gloomy, yes, low clouds, humid but no rain! First off a big thanks to all that came out to the 24th Annual Mid Maryland Ford event. We had 101 show cars, Mt. Lena Pool group did their food stand deal with great breakfast and lunch menus, 100 Ford race cars made round one of eliminations, there were many parts vendors and a good group of race fans too.

The last run of the day was a grudge race, Jen Decker in her Mustang against husband Mark Decker in his dragster, Jen got the win as Mark went red, probably a smart move on his part. Good racing by all, an overall good event. We finished up at 4 pm. 
 
This weekend is the big Labor Day race, Test & Tune Friday night, SBRA points races, Sat. Sun. and Mon. Check the flyer for all the details, see you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  Aug. 21st
 
This was our Street Nite event for August that was well attended though threats of rain / storms were in the forecast. Quick 16 had 29 entries vying for a start in the field that had a fast 5.40 bump spot. In the final Mitch Willingham won it over Kalvin Kline, Darlene Staub and Joe Richmond were the semi racers.

The 7.10 index class the winner was Randall McNamee over Garret Suders. In the Dial-in classes it was Nancy Kovak in a good one over Gary Kelican. A word on these two, Nancy about owns this class in her mid 11 second Nova and Gary Kelican was out for the first time this season driving his high 9 second Maverick as if he'd been racing every weekend, nice work by these two racers, oh it was Gary's 74 birthday today as well. Sportsman was won by Brett Barney with Mike Cleary as the runnerup. Drive-in Street had truck 870, missed his name but will add it later over Joe Myers. This was some really fine racing all night, we finished up at 8:30 pm. Again a good turnout considering the crappy weather forecast, 142 racers and a decent number of race fans participated. 
 
Sunday  --  August 22nd
 
This was another SBRA points race. We hate to keep talking about the bad weather but sure enough tropical storm Henri dumped rain all over eastern Pennsylvania and everywhere east of the track in Maryland. Many tracks were rained out though overcast we got underway. 21 Junior Dragsters made the first time run right at 9 am sharp. Dylan Moore was on it all six rounds winning the final over McKenna Brinkley, Wyatt Coffee took third place. We had several Eastside Dragway Junior racers with us today. Really good Junior Dragster racing from start to finish. The big cars and bikes took the track at 11:30 am. Super had Randy Krause in his S & W dragster winning over Dahrl Clark in the "Felix the Cat" Dodge Dart. Justin Crider had a good third place finish, 53 Super cars made round one, good turn out.

Ken Dick and Brian Lind were the semi racers. In the Al's Body Shop Trophy class, Mike Fenslau won over Caleb Cunningham, each getting the "Xmas Tree" trophy. 
 
Of note, yeah, the topic of weather. We had some very light / mist sprinkles the last half hour or so of racing, the track stayed good and sure enough as soon as the last pair went down the track, it got serious and started to rain steadily. We couldn't have raced 5 more minutes. A huge thanks to our racers as we "politely" encouraged them to keep it moving or we couldn't have finished the race. The staff....we had some on vacation and several did different jobs and did a great job anyway. Suzette and her daughter Kathryn worked the food stand filling in. Mason Dixon Dragway really is a great place to work and race. Thanks to all that were with us this weekend! This weekend, Friday nite Test & Tune and another one Saturday 2 to 6pm with the no entry fee race. Sunday the big Ford race and show. Check the website for all the details. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  Aug. 14th
 
Weather entered in this race also, but we got the entire program in though we had three rain shower delays that slowed us down a bit. Besides weather issues we had our biggest ever VW race.

Lastly Super Stock was won by J Farguhar over W Farquhar. In Pro Stick Mark Charcalla cut a .016 light and dead on 8.68 to win over Dave Slusher, Andy Stone took third place.  
 
Thoughts on this one. A huge thanks for a great job of promoting and handling the VW portion of the event  goes to Scott Pocaro. He has done an outstanding job each year that we've hosted this event, it grows bigger each year. I talked to him last week, he'd predicted 110 VW racers and that's exactly how many competed in round one. The racing itself was great, nice looking, well prepared cars that were fast and very little breakage or oildowns occurred all day. The car show part had great and some unusual VW models on hand. Our race fans were out in huge numbers to support this event. Hats off to the Pro Stick racers and their captain Eric Kitchen. The usual, fast paced, hard launching, wheel standing stick cars did their job round after round. Pro Stick is a good fit with our VW friends for sure. Our staff....Great job by all, the rain delays were handled and track was good to go quickly, track prep / maintenance was excellent, food stand staff were swamped all day but the kept pace right til the last pair went down the track. We had announce help from Steve Dickey, he's very knowledgeable about both VWs and Pro Stick cars. He always adds something good to any day he's here. Oh, we finished up 7:30 pm, what a day!  
 
Sunday  --  Aug. 15th
 
This was a Test & Tune event starting at 11:30 am going til 4 pm. 62 cars, bikes and Junior Dragsters made plenty of trips down the track. Brand new Junior Dragster racer Luke Stern made all his license runs look easy, his dad Jason and grandpa Matt were with him as the crew members. Well done Luke. At 2 pm, we did our no entry fee $500.00 to the winner 1/8 mile race. Dahrl Clark won out over Mike Rodgers in the final. Eldon "JR" Baum in his 68 SS/AH Hemi Dart made the first runs since converting to a 4 speed manual transmission. You would think the learning curve would be steep....not so, first pass, an 8.71 @ a lifting 141 mph. Next and final pass, 8.53 @153 mph with a 1.20 sixty ft. time. Really fast for shakedown runs on a warm and humid day. All went good today, we did finish up right at 4pm. Great weekend other than losing Friday night racing. Ok, Test & Tune Friday, Street Nite Saturday and SBRA race Sunday. See you at Mason Dixon Dragway this weekend!

This was a SBRA event that got underway at 9 am with our Junior Dragsters starting the day. Weather played into this event as it was raining east of us everywhere causing other tracks to cancel out. We had three rain delays while the Juniors ran but we still got their racing done by noon. With 14 entries it was Shelby Nick winning out over Eric Bowles, Miles Raffa and Cameron Bauman were the semifinalists. The big cars were next, 58 entries in the Pro class with Rocky Moore winning over Troy Gerhart in the final, taking third place was Heather Boyd. In Super we had 44 entries with Dahryl Clark over Dylan Moore. These two are as good as it gets in Super, great driving all day. Jason Amey with another good outing took third place. Of the 44 entries, nine were dragsters, great racing in our Super class. Over in Al's Body Shop Trophy it was Josh Sisk over Alexis Crawford in a Camaro final. We finished up at 4:30 pm. Real good racing all day long, a fun day.

This was day 2 of our SBRA weekend. Junior Dragsters took the track right at 9 am with a 20 car field. Great final.....Miles Raffa went .016 at the start to hold off A J Heiner who was close with an .023 light. Really good well run final! Cameron Boyd took third place. James White III made all his license runs today, nice work James. Now the big cars, right on time getting underway at 11:30 am. Pro with 64 entries had the same two in the final as yesterday....same result too. Ken Dick winning over John Binkle in the final, what's the odds of this happening on consecutive days? Fred Johns and Mark Harbaugh were the semi drivers. In Super it was Michael Shoop over Mike Daymude in a spectacular final. Shoop was .0001 and .001 off the dial while Daymude was .005 at the tree and on his dial. Dead close, nearly a perfect race, doesn't get better than this final! And Jason Amey had a good day with his 3rd place finish. In Al's Body Shop Trophy it was Alexis Crawford winning over T J Everly, both getting the Xmas tree trophies provided by Al's Body Shop. Another great day of racing, all three in fact were excellent, nice turn outs of race cars even though each day was hot and humid too. We finished up at 4 pm. 
 
This weekend...., Saturday is a private track rental and Sunday is a SBRA race. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!   


Friday  --  July 16th
 
This was at Test & Tune event starting at 6 pm. It was hot too, 94 degrees when we got underway. Despite the hot day we still had 61 cars and bikes making many passes. There was a decent amount of race fans were there as well. Everybody made plenty of passes as we finished up at 10 pm. A big thanks to all that participated. 
 
Saturday  --  July 17th
 
Another real hot and humid day with storms predicted for the early evening. No doubt the less than great weather forecast kept a lot of racers away but we got underway right at 2:30 pm with all the racers getting two qualifying time shots for this Street Nite event. As round one got underway the storms were heading our way with lots of lightning in the air. We completed round one and as round two started we had to stop the action. Way to much lightning with the fast moving storm closing in we halted the racing, not long after, rain arrived and that was it.
We tried!
 
This weekend, Test & Tune Friday and SBRA events Saturday and Sunday, see you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Friday  --  July 9th
 
This was a Test & Tune event getting underway at 6 pm. It was really hot and steamy with storms in the forecast no doubt contributing to a smaller than usual turnout. Around 7:30 pm we had a brief rain shower that only took us down for about 20 minutes. Once track drying was done we kept racing. Stu Beaden and his Top Sportsman Camaro made some test hits, the last one netting a 4.67 slowing to a 136 mph top end as the car lost high gear. When totally sorted out this car will be real fast. Max and Jane Naylor were helping the Beaden team again on this visit. Max and Jane were the former owners of Numidia Raceway for many years, love having them with us anytime they can be here. Rich Lyle's 63 Pontiac Tempest Promod made one test pass just before we finished up, this car is a wicked ride. Just a short hit was made after long and loud smoky burn out. We concluded the night on Rich's pass at 10 pm.
 
A NOTE FROM THE TRASH MAN....an ever increasing amount of glass bottle is appearing in the trash, I do not need this job and you are risking it for all racers and spectators that this track may go away... I am to the point that I would rather do things other than cater to those who do not follow the rules....getting very close to losing  a place to play.

Saturday  --  July 10th
 
A Summit ET series event kicking off with Junior Dragsters at 12:30 pm. The weather was better, less humid and slightly cooler than Friday. Only six cars due to most already at the preliminary races at Bristol Tn. which is hosting the Eastern Regional event. In the final A. J. Heiner won over Cameron Bauman, Cameron Proctor took third place. Now the big cars. We started them at 2 pm. with Outlaw Pontiacs that had a 22 car field. In the final it was Rodney Eichleberger winning his third event of the year, he won over SS/GT car driven by Chet Fincke. Third place was Craig Berkheimer, the original founder of the eastern division of the Outlaw Pontiac group that he presided over in the beginning in 1999. Craig had not raced for 17 years and yet made five rounds of racing with this tough bunch in a borrowed car. Great to have Craig and his wife Melanie from New Oxford Pa. racing again! Troy Tribby was in attendance along with Tom and Kim Bunty of York, Pa. helping out the Pontiac racers. Joel Larkin the west coast original founder of the Outlaw Pontiac Series raced with us, he now lives a bit closer in Mansfield Ohio.

We started on time at 9 am with again six Junior Dragsters. It was really hot and humid for this race, worse than Friday, more storms predicted for later in the day. With Juniors we ran a double elimination race. You were still in til your second loss. Stretched things out a bit and fun for the six racers. In the final it Steven Morgan, no losses against Miles Raffa, one loss. Miles needed to win two straight and sure enough he won the first to force another face off with Steven. This time Steven Morgan won, Miles Raffa the runner up. Now the big cars, winners to get the Wally trophies. Super had Mike Hoff in his 4.80s dragster win over Mark Gray. Pro had Rocky Moore over Ray Thurston IV. Sportsman had Mike Fenslau winning his first ever Wally over Garrett Suders. Justin Jones and dad Joe again ran more Junior Street passes.

Saturday  --  July 3rd
 
We got our Junior Dragsters underway at 12:30 pm with 22 entries on another low 80 degree day. We had several cars from Eastside Raceway and sure enough in the final Hunter Crawford from Staunton Va. squared off against Miles Raffa, Hunter scoring the win in a good race. Gavin Cramer took third place. Extra money from Rudy Transportation and an anonymous Pro class racer upped the winner and runnerup purse plus an extra $25.00 went to the best losing package, Hunter Crawford got the money in his first round loss. Thanks to those the added money to our Junior racers. At 3:00 pm we got time runs underway for the big cars, 95 Pro cars, 88 Super cars, 18 Trophy cars got their runs in. We got part way through round one when a heavy rain shower moved in and soaked the place, track drying efforts for an hour half or so got us close but just not good enough to resume racing. We called it 7 pm as started to sprinkle again. We tried.
 
Sunday  --  July 4th
 
Junior Dragsters took the track at 9:30 am, just a bit warmer but still great for July. 25 entries raced with Dylan Moore winning over Connor Boyd, Miles Raffa was third. More money came from Rudys Transportation, our anonymous Pro racer, Steve Henry's Coppermine Stump Removal company, The Mutt & Jeff Promotions team and Semper Fi Transport, Shelby Nick's grandfathers company.

Saturday  --  June 19th
 
This was our all GM car event and again it was really hot and steamy with temps again the lower 90's. We had a fair amount of show cars, apparently we were bucking several other fairly local car shows causing a lower  car count of show vehicles.

How about Mike Fenslau's dad visiting his son from Michigan, he got to drive the SS Chevy in the no entry fee race. He won the first round and ran a career best 12.05 @ 115 mph. Any kind of decent air and the 11 second timeslips would have been recorded. Nice Fathers Day present. Overall good day.

A great Test & Tune night, people rolling in all evening for the big event the next day, some unloaded and made passes, 122 entries in all.

Lastly the Pro Stick gang, 64 entries strong had Andy Charcalla getting the single when Colton Kirchner's car developed an engine fire coming up the return road after his semi final win. Great racing we finished up about 9 pm. 
 
Now for everything else. What a turnout, the show car field was packed 172 entries, we also had 288 racers competing. In fact parking was tough and we opted to turn all racing to 1/8 mile as many cars were way down in the shut down area field, a good call there. We did one time run and no buy backs. Race fans were everywhere, all seemed enjoy the whole event. We had help from Mt. Aetna Fire Co. serving breakfast sandwiches and lunch, they sold all there stuff mid afternoon, Our food stand staff served everyone right til the end. They were kept hopping all day. Cheryl's Shirt Shack nearly sold out the event shirts, everybody busy all day long. Track prep / maintenance excellent as always, only one oil down to clean up. A big thanks to Hayne Dominick and Gary Gore their help and promoting the event. Steve Dickey announced a lot in the earlier part of the day doing a great job, Bill Pratt former long time announcer at MIR also announced the exhibition cars, a good guy and very knowledgeable too. Butch Mori's Chevwagon ran an incredible 5.82 @ 120 mph. The Funny Car match race had both cars in the mid 4's @ 160 mph. Rick Osborn's 38 Special did the big wheel stands. Awesome show from all in the exhibition group. At the morning awards / interview session many got their plaques and talked to the crowd, Gary Gore handling most of the "mic" work, I did some too. Many Funny Car teams represented and Modified Eliminator and Super Stock drivers, crew  and family members were in attendance. Very fun day. Will certainly look forward to the next years event. Got to give a shout out to the Wachter family that owns the track, they put in the hard work, skills and money to keep Mason Dixon Dragway alive so we have a place to go drag racing! I know I missed some stuff here, I'll add it in later.

The 5.90 Index class had Pat Hahn over Rob Bower. All the other classes got to semis or quarters. The new 7.10 Index had a nice turn out. Overall great racing til about 4:30 pm when a steady rain moved in, after waiting it out a bit we finally had to call an end to the day. 
 
Sunday   --  April 25th
 
Though the rain quit before the start time we had some track drying time before we could start. We got underway a half hour late at 10 am with 17 Junior Dragsters in round one. Dylan Moore took the win over Cameron Boyd who was deadly at the tree right to the sixth round final. Close final, congrats to both racers. Madison Stotler took third. By the way, Madison also won the Junior Street class in the afternoon. The big cars took the track at high noon. Super had Joey Harrison in his Chevy Blazer running 6 flat ets. winning over Nathan Englar, Mike Daymude was third place racer. Pro had the biggest field with Dicky Bodmer just winning over long distance Bethany Beach Delaware racer Steve McCully. Dave Clinedinst and Ed Talbert the semi racers. Sportsman was won by Dylan Moore, his second win of the day, over Mike Garber with Dave Toms taking third spot. Dylan is starting out red hot this year. Trophy was won by Mike Fenslau over Randy Allen in the final. Taylor Everson licensed in a big block Chevy Dragster, high 4.90 passes in the eighth and a nearly full pass of 7.92 in the quarter, she drove exceptionally on all passes, well done. We finished up about 5 pm with close mid season like racing in all the classes. An overall good weekend though the weather did affected us no doubt.
 
This weekend it's all Junior Dragsters and Junior Street, both days, see you at Mason Dixon Dragway!
A Note From The Owner..... I am still disturbed at the lack of respect several racers and spectators give for the rules of no glass bottles.  If I have to make an example of those I find bringing in bottles I will, I will cancel the street events for the classes I find not following these rules. As it looks now there are at least two street classes that may go by the wayside.

Saturday  --  April 17th
 
This was a Test & Tune event under cloudy, windy and cool temps. that reached the mid 50's later in the day. Jace Warner made his Junior dragster licensing runs with no problems.

Another Test and Tune day with a free entry $1,000.00 to win event went well today, Temps hit the high 50's and hazy sunshine greeted 104 racers, crew members and race fans. We had a nice mix of all out race cars, street cars, bikes and Junior Dragsters.  Nine year old Gavin Cramer successfully made his Junior Dragster license runs with zero problems with several high 11 second 55 mph passes. His parents Josh and Lindsay Cramer both raced for years and will also have their two sons Gage and Garrett license soon. Well done. Mike Rodgers made his license passes in his big block Chevy Monza with 9.80 passes with no issues. The track worked really well as we have had three race days in the books and a lot of passes made. We ran a $1,000.00 to win no entry fee race, it went six rounds with Darius Wenger holding off Justin Crider in the close final, both ran on their dial-ins, a real good race, Steve Heffner took third place. Because of the big turnout we ran an extra hour finishing up at 5 pm. Another good day.
 
Sunday  --  March 28th
 
Rain was predicted to move in the early morning and it did, an all day rain forced a cancellation of the Test and Tune day.

Saturday  --  March 20th  2021
 
Opening day! Finally. We had a nice first day turn out. 70 cars made many passes on the freshly "diamond ground" racing surface. The Swank Co. did a great job on the track last Monday and Tuesday, then Jake Landes and Bub Casto spent all week preparing the racing surface for the weekend. The weather was great, temps in the hi 50's and sunny. We got underway at noon and around 3 pm we ran a N/C $500.00 to win Gambler Race.

A big shout out to Mason Dixon Dragway for the diamond grinding of the track, it got better as more cars have run on it. A nice improvement for the 2021 racing season. This weekend we again run two Test and Tune events, we start earlier, 11:30 am to 4:00 pm both Saturday and Sunday. It's great to be back, what a long winter! See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  Nov 21st
 
This was a Test & Tune event along with a $1,000.00 to win no entry fee Gamblers Race. Just before we got underway we had a special match race with our track manager Jake Landes in his 650 hp supercharged Corvette against his dad Chris Lil in his 485 hp Dodge Challenger. Jake got there first with a 10.65 @129mph and Chris followed with a tire spinning pass but did log a 109 mph top end speed. The first time they've ever run each other, good to see this happen. We started on time a 11am under cloudy skies but temps near 60 degrees with numerous test & tune 1/4 passes then went to round one of our 1/8 mile Gamblers Race. Things got a little unusual as we had three oil downs, two were coolant one an oil related deal and it took awhile to them clean up. In the Gamblers it was Frank Falter IV in his "Candy Man" dragster winning over Rick Wenger, Dahryl Clark and Keith Lehman were the semi racers. We had 70 entries and stuck around a little over an hour longer than scheduled wrapping this up at 4:10 pm. 
 
Well, the 2020 season is over. With losing all of March, April and May races once we got going we had great support from our racers, their family and crew members then eventually our race fans. Many races were well attended especially the five day SBRA event in October with a record one day car count on Saturday of 543 entries. A big thanks to all the supported us, racers and spectators, sponsors and Mason Dixon staff and owners, we made a messed up year work!! Keep checking our website / facebook pages for updates, schedule etc. through out the winter. I will certainly miss my racers and co-workers in the off season. Everyone please stay safe, have a great Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years holidays and get ready for a better 2021!!

Message from Track Operator, Still having troubles with glass bottles so the 2021 Season will impart a rate increase for entry for those racers and crew members that feel they must have glass bottles to exist, maybe a nipple on the end and a security blanket would explain their need for glass. Thank all of the racers that enjoy a local track with a family atmosphere, It is all made possible by the great group of people working at the track.  I appreciate their efforts in making events work smoothly and am looking forward to working with them in the future.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Keep an EYE on the website for upcoming news.

Saturday  --  Nov. 14th

Also long time racer, Marvin Lucas stopped by to see the great show. He is 85 years young and still loves our sport, good to see him again. We did opt to cancel Sunday as the forecast was not looking good, and sure enough, high winds and afternoon rains rolled in. A good call.

Friday  --  Oct. 16th

If we were going to have weather issues it  would be this day only, light rain was just west of the track but  never moved over us, another rain free race day. This was a huge turnout of racers in all the classes, 443 entries. At 11:00 pm we still had a lot of racers still in, we opted to split the money than go on much later. Amazing racing again.

Saturday  --  Oct. 17th

A sunny but much cooler day, temps in the low 30's over night but got to about 60 later in the day. Talk about a full house, 543 racers, a record number of entries ever at Mason Dixon, and they fit on the property too. First off new arrivals got a time run, then we went to the Race of Champions, round one. In Junior Dragster it was Eric Bowles winning over Cole Foskey, Super had Paul Burruss taking the win, Pro was won by Jeff Stewart. We then got the Gamblers races going, with the huge car count we ran til 12:30 am but still had many entries, we stopped and split money at that point. 

Sunday  --  Oct. 18th

The main event! About 400 entries from the seven tracks all racers that qualified from their home track entered this no entry fee race. The Junior Dragsters started off at 9 am, 37 entries in the end, John Henry took the win with Peyton Bunch the runnerup. Now the big cars took the track at 11:30 am In Super it was Rich Loury over Mike Anderson, Pro had Tom Lilliard over Jay Woodward and in Bike Taylor Dunham over Clay Davies. Great, close racing all day. The new guys from Summerduck Dragway won the overall points, Mason Dixon second and last years Champs, Beavers Springs Dragway third. We finished up at 7:30 pm. Hardly any down time / clean up delays for the whole day and very few all weekend. Another great SBRA Bracket finals in the books!

Kudos to many this weekend. We thank our racers and the family / crew members for their cooperation all week long. The Mason Dixon staff worked five really long days, some slept in their cars Saturday night to be ready for the early Sunday start time. All my co-workers put in a great effort to make the event work. Track owners and management made all the good calls organizing and supervising the race. Both of our new SBRA tracks really enjoyed the event it seemed. To my count that I think is pretty close we were just  15 cars short of 2,000 entries for the five days. There was a minimal of breakage or down time and super great track prep / maintenance every day. Joe Martz did the invocation each day to get us started, thanks Joe. Gary Gore of Eastside was with us all week long, Hain Dominick though not here helped us with scoring of the final day from home.  On a personal note, I missed the first three days recovering from surgery and Elmer Wachter, Steve Dickey and Courtney Suders shared announcing those three days. On Saturday and Sunday Tony Tumberello from South Mountain and again Courtney Suders announced off and on all day, I can't thank them enough, great job too! There is no doubt some mistakes / omissions in this recap will be seen here which I apologize for in advance. Anyway, another outstanding SBRA Bracket Finals!

A NOTE FROM TRACK OPERATOR, Thank all the racers for participating in the SBRA Bracket Finals, Thank those also that Parked in the proper pit areas and respected the track. Thank all that participated in the Gamblers Races. Thank the Staff for professionally acting and administering the event. We always say we should do this and that for the next years event to make it better, but at this time I am not sure there will be a next year or next time.  The rules we operate under are primarily for safety sake and when they are not adhered to I do not want to be part of that culture. I also see the writing of the keyboard cowboys complaining and condemning, but not person enough to voice their problem to the proper authority. My answer to them is to not come to a track you feel does not live up to you stringent expectations God only knows you must be perfect in all that you do. I hope your glass house is made of non shattering glass. Over the winter months I will decide the future of not only this event but also the tracks status.

This weekend a Street Nite race Sat. Oct. 24th, Sunday a Test and Tune. See you at Mason Dixon Dragway this coming weekend!  

Saturday  --  Sept. 26th

Friday  --  Aug. 14th

This was a well attended Test & Tune event on the eve of our VW and Pro-Stick race. We had numerous VWs and Pro-Stick racers and other full on race cars and street cars making many passes on this cloudy overcast evening. Low et. for the VWs was Steve Hawes in his air cooled turbo bug, he ripped a 5.36 @ 136 mph pass. He later ran a 5.39 @ 135 mph. A bullet for sure. Pro-Stick's Tim Riggleman managed a 7.91 @ 172 mph in his small block Mopar. We ran a 16 car Hi-Roller VW class, a 55 yr. old and up class and a Quick 4 also. Good racing, we finished just after 10 pm.

Saturday  --  Aug. 15th

We started out ok, weather very cloudy, dreary and occasional light mist and sprinkles slowed us down badly as it took from 11 am til 3 pm to get in one qualifier / time run. It was a stop and start affair but finally we got under way. We were able to complete three rounds of VW racing and two Pro-Stick rounds, the VW classes got to semi finals in all but one class and Pro-Stick got to 13 remaining cars still in the game. Finally about 7 pm a steady rain did us in, we called it a day. A very nice turnout of racers in both VW and Pro-Stick were in competition, considering the threatening forecasts of rain all week, we did well both days. 

A big shout out to Scott Pacaro who runs / promotes the VW shows with us each year.  Many of the VW racers travel a good distance to this race and again they showed up in big numbers despite the poor weather forecast. Thanks Scott for your hard work. The Mason Dixon crew gets a tip of the hat for all the work repeatedly drying and re-prepping the track after each rain shower and car oildowns. That was a lot of work and time consuming too. Bill Smith did the invocation and his wife Toni did a fabulous job singing the National Anthem as always! Considering weather issues we still had a really good event. This Saturday and Sunday are Test & Tune events, if there is 100 + cars we will have a $1,000.00 to win race, no entry fee. See you Saturday and Sunday at Mason Dixon Dragway!

There 24 6.50 cars tonite a great turnout. We also had good fields of Pro, Limited and Drive In Street also. Great racing all night long. We did have a couple of bigger cleanups and some much smaller ones also so we did run late. We thank our racers and their crew members for the good turnout for this race. Outstanding track prep for the really fast Real Street and Quick 16 cars was evident, several 1.03 sixty ft. times turned in from the faster Quick 16 cars. An overall really good event.

Sunday  --  May 31st 

A much bigger turnout of racers with cool air, clear skies and low humidity helped all to lay down fast passes during the entire day. We also ran Gamblers Races for Super, Pro Driver and Junior Dragster towards the end of the day. A really fine showing by all, just a fun day.

A big thanks to all that have been with us these first two weeks of racing, everyone has followed directions as to the entire Covid 19 protocol. We finally go to our SBRA races this Sat. June 5th and Sun. June 6th. You must Pre-Register to enter these events. Also a big thanks to the Wachter family and to our staff for doing a great job through this very trying circumstances. We’ll see you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway! 


Saturday  --  May 23rd
Finally….We have gotten the 2020 racing season underway. First off we want to thank all our racers, their crew members, Mason Dixon staff and Elmer and Kathy Wachter for hanging in there during the long delay in getting underway this season due to the Corona virus ordeal. Everyone at the track both days cooperated with the guide lines set down for us to race in as safe manner as possible. Great job to all that participated. Here’s how we ran the weekend. Racers signed up online for either a morning or afternoon session on at Saturday or the one afternoon session on Sunday. We allowed 50 racers each session. We had a great mix of full on race cars, street cars, Junior dragsters, bikes and Jr. Street cars also. The track went from good to excellent very quickly. Ask Bill Smith, his Pro-Stick Pinto ran a personal best 9.55 @ 137 mph two runs back to back. Connor Boyd licensed his Junior Dragster, he drove great both days, got in many laps, his lights got better as the two days wound down, a 16.45 @ 37 mph was his best pass made later on Sunday. Overall an excellent day and yeah the weather was ok, partly cloudy high 60’s, not bad. We finished up at 7 pm.
Sunday  --  May 24th
A cloudy and cooler day but again, no rain. We started at 11 am. Another mix of cars and bikes, Junior dragsters made many runs today. Was the track good? Kermit Garnett on his turbo Suzuki ran a 4.85 @ 141 mph 1/8 mile pass, Bill Smith again ran quick, a 9.57 @ 137 mph. Lester Holtzapple’s Corvette now runs 9.70’s with a new engine, way quicker than last year. Everyone made many passes and the track worked great as always. We finished up at 4 pm. 

Next weekend, we will again do a Test & Tune event on Saturday May 30th  and Sunday May 31st with just one session each day. More details to follow on the website by mid-week. It’s REALLY good to be back!!! See you next weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!  


Saturday  --  Nov. 23rd
 
We have to say the weather played into this weekend in a big way. When I arrived at the track at 9:30 am it was sunny, high 30's and almost no wind but quickly that changed. As we got ready to kick things off with our Junior dragsters it clouded up and gusty winds moved in and now it  was plainly cold. Temp only hit a high 41 degrees. No doubt that hurt the turnout today.  Now the racing, we had nine hearty Junior Dragster drivers, family and their crews participating. Mary Elizabeth Bannister got the win over Ryan Ely, semi racers were Landon Palmer and Carleigh Forrest. By about 1 PM the big cars took the track. We opted to go with one time run only and go straight to round one. In Super it was a father / daughter final. Steve Whitman won over his daughter Carrie Whitman. Pro Driver had Troy Gerhart over Dave Clinedinst, Mike Rodgers was third. Sportsman was won by Kevin Barron over Mike Fenslau. Finally Trophy had Greg Orris over Mike Fenslau. Of note, John Dickson made the long tow from Rockaway N.J. to run with us in Pro and Sportsman, thanks for racing with us today. We finished up about 3:00 PM. As I left the track it started to rain, good call moving the program along. Right as we were getting close to end we cancelled Sunday's race, another good call, it rained and snowed in the morning, would have taken us out for sure.
 
Can't believe the 2019 racing season is over. I thinks we'll all miss what we do nine months a year pretty quickly, though a break at the holidays is good. Keep checking our website for the 2020 schedule, it's already coming together. Please be safe in the off season, Happy Holidays to all!

Saturday  --  November 9th
 
This would have been a Test & Tune day but temps in the low 20's in the morning and only in the high 30's later forced us to cancel the event.

Something really special happened today, Taylor Everson made several passes in her late grandfather Terry Schwartz's 40 Chevy coupe, a best of 12.07 @ 110 mph. She had never raced before but with help from Terry Eirckson, she quickly figured it out making about 6 passes, each one quicker as the day went on. She's keeping the memory ailve! Well done! A big shout out to the Cactoctin Fish and Game Association for putting up a food tent,  serving over the top great, breakfast sandwiches, pit beef and ham, Md. Crab soup, pie etc. Profits made help to support their youth shooting programs, come back and do this again next year!

This was a Test & Tune event to start at noon and go to 4 PM. Sadly the weather folks got this one wrong, no rain predicted til early evening but we had sprinkles just before start time and we were delayed about a half an hour. 47 cars and bikes made mostly three runs til we had an oil down and more sprinkles that eventually turned to a steady rain that forced us to cancel out about 3 PM. Racers that had two or less runs got rain checks for a future Test & Tune day.

No way we could race today. A shout out to Mason Dixon staff and owners. Everybody worked well all three days. We had a great track, the clean ups we had, luckily were smaller but were quickly cleaned up with minimal down time. We kept cars going at a good, fast pace.

We started on time at 6 PM and almost right away we had a top end oil down that just as the clean up was wrapping up....it started to rain which was light and lasted about 20 minutes, it took over an hour to dry as the humidity was so high. About 8 PM we were back underway and finished up at 10 PM. Not a bad turnout all things considered. A tip of the hat to track management and staff for making a great effort to dry the track, many might have given up on the night's racing. Thanks to our racers and race fans for sticking with us too.
 
Saturday  --  July 6th
 
It was a real scorcher today, very oppressive humidity but we got underway on time at Noon with our SBRA Junior Dragsters, 22 entries in the field.

Much better day in the beginning anyway with cloud cover and cooler temps. SBRA Junior Dragsters got going at 9 am. Again a 22 car field, today it was Landon Palmer winning over Cameron Boyd.

Now the big cars, they got under way at 11:30 am. Everyone got their qualifiers in and we completed round one. The Pro Driver class got in round two and the Supers got a couple pairs down track and showers moved off the mountain. The rain briefly stopped and track drying was underway when harder shower soaked the place and we called it a day, racers still got rain checks but Pro Driver class having completed two rounds, 18 drivers still in, received $135.00 each. Sooner or later we'll get better weather to race, that's the hope anyway.

Another big Street Nite event, weather was no problem, no rain and temps in the high 70's. We had six Big Tire cars, Jeremy Curry, Vince Fourcade, Steve Evans, Eric Champ, Scott Kline and Gary Walker, all were fast. Sadly on Scott Klines second pass the transmission blew apart big time just before the finish line. Scott was unhurt but the car had undercarriage damage and we had a major clean up to perform before we could resume the racing. The Mason Dixon crew did a great job cleaning up and re-prepping the racing surface so we could get back to racing. In the final it was Gary Walker with another hard launch and straight run winning over Jeremy Curry who left first and was in front for awhile til Gary drove around him in a really good race. Small Tire had only Harold Horton running, he made several hard straight passes, he typically runs with the Md. Performance Center Real Street racers. Quick 16 had 32 entries so made this into two fields, the bump spot was a 5.54. In the Quick group which had 7 four second cars it was Jerry Williams winning over Tom Morgan, Ken Colton and John Moton were the semi racers. In the second field it was Dale Jackson over Michael Shoop, Joe wetzel and Tim Kramer the semi racers. By the way, Tim Kramer from Hudson Florida made the trip to drive has dad Steve's Corvette.

Limited street was won by Charlotte Mallow over Roger Bard and Drive Street was won by Kathy Gerhart over Briab Canoles. We had a good turnout of race fans and race cars, with the down time to clean up the oil down we finished up just before 11 PM. A real good show tonite!
 
Sunday  --  June 16th
 
This was our rescheduled 36th annual Mopar Meet. Ok, the weather messed with this one a bit, all week rain was predicted and yes we had sprinkles before the racing and one 20 minute delay during round two but that was it, we got through it ok. We have had bigger Mopar races but this was still a good one, 90 cars raced and plenty of Mopar fans were in attendance also. In Super Michael Bauman squared off against Nathan Engler. Nathan dialed a 10.23 and and ran 10.230 with a .000 light....a PERFECT run, Michael had a good light and was one off the dial a good run, just not enough. Bernie Staub took third. Pro had Danny Householder in his altered wheelbase 65 Dodge winning over Steve McCulley, Danny Smith was third. Greg Orris in his Demon running low 10 teen passes won over Dave Goode and Randy Allen took third in the Sportsman class. A good event wrapping up the three day race weekend.

Sunday  --  June 9th
 
Another SBRA points race that the weather messed with again. Very cloudy but comfortable temps in the 60's as the Juniors got underway at 9 AM with 17 racers competing. In the final it was Eric Bowles getting his second career win over first time finalist, Parker Fields. Eric had a slightly better light and won a close one over Parker. In the semis Parker took out yesterdays winner Steve Dustin while Eric beat Jo Jo Mallow in the other semi match up. Great work Eric and Parker today! Now the big cars. We started at 11:30 AM and though more clouds rolled in we were still dry and got round one of everything in but after getting most of Pro Driver round two down the track light rain / sprinkles forced us to stop. We managed to resume and get almost all the Supers down for their second round but the the rain moved wet everything down enough that stopped the racing for the day. We tried! Again Karisa was helping me announce eliminations and is starting to learn the job really well and having fun too.

Thoughts on the weekend racing......Excellent turnout, especially Friday night, great track prep, cars fast and consistent, minimal break downs or oil downs, the program each day was fast paced and run in a timely fashion and great driving all weekend.
Nice driving by everyone but especially these racers, Mark Harbaugh, two Pro wins and four rounds on Monday, hard to stop him.Dylan Moore two Junior Street wins Nick Bowman getting a Super runnerup and a third spot finish in Pro / Sportsman. Dahryl Clark with a win and runnerup in Pro / Sportsman, Steve Dustin III won, runneruped and took a third spot finish in Junior Dragster, Jo Jo Mallow a win in Junior Dragster and High School on Monday and I know I'm missing some other good performers. A really good event!
 
Friday night, another Test & Tune, Saturday is a Street Nite race, qualifying starts at 4 PM, Md Performance Center Real Street, Quick 16, 6.50 Index, NA Coyote heads up cars and more. Sunday is a Summit ET Series race. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  May 18th
 
This was a Summit ET series event and sure enough the weather played into this race. A heavy rain shower moved through about 6 am and soaked the place, it stayed cloudy til late morning and the track staff was hard at work drying the track. Finally at 10:30 am went drag racing starting with the Junior Dragsters. Jaiman Dietz of Hanover Pa. had a big day winning over Ryan Ely in the final. Travis Hill and Cameron Boyd were the semi racers. The big cars followed with Pro Driver being won by Brian Lind over Dicky Bodmer. Sportsman was won by Rocky Moore over Steve Dustin who broke the rear end on the launch in final. Bike had George Stanley winning over Brian Canoles. Darius Wenger beat Gerg Orris in the Trophy class. Junior Street was won by Dylan Moore over Travis Hill. Leaving Super for last, a quick moving thunderstorm with a lot of lightning moved in just as Mike Daymude and Brad Doss squared off for the final. Rather than risk a race with rain just about to start these two opted to split the money. Good to get a race in for once, we finished up just before 6 PM.
 
Sunday  --  May 19th
 
Another Summit ET Series race, sunny and breezy early, a nice dry track, we started right on time at 9 am. The Junior Dragsters got us underway with Landon Palmer winning over Dylan Moore, Maddie Stephens and Ryan Ely were the semi racers. The big cars took the track next and sure enough storms moved in with a lot of lightning in the mid afternoon. We did complete Junior Street, Dylan Moore over Travis Hill, Trophy was won by Greg Orris. We got no further than semis in all the other classes, when the storm arrived it was preceded by numerous lightning strikes causing us to stop, light rain arrived later. Of note Ronnie Proctor Sr. made some 1/8 mile test passes in a Top Sportsman Pontiac, ran 4.40s, Josh McCoy in his Real Street Mustang made partial passes and launched hard and straight and Brittany Clark's "Killa" dragster ran as quick as 4.43 @ 155 mph coupled with a .99 60 ft time, she was still in we stopped racing. Money was split with racers still in the show. It least we got the bulk of the day in.
 
All right, Memorial Day weekend coming at ya, SBRA style, Test & Tune Friday 5/24, SBRA points racing Sat. Sun. and Memorial Day Mon. Outlaw Pontiacs race on Sat. the High School race is on Mon. Al's Body Shop providing the excellent "Xmas Tree" trophies for winner and runnerup in Trophy this weekend. See you at Mason Dixon Dragway this weekend 

Friday  --  May 10th
 
This was a Test & Tune with heavy track prep for our next day Battle Mayhem race. We got the racing underway on time at 6 PM but sure enough light rain showers moved in about 7 PM and never really let up and we cancelled for the night.
 
Saturday  --  May 11th
 
We made a decision to continue the rain shortened Test & and Tune and started it off right at 9 am. It was well attended too as we ran a bit long clearing the lanes to start the first qualifying runs for the Battle Mayhem event. We got underway at 12:30 PM with Md. Performance Center Real Street, three cars cracked into the 4's, Richie Stine a 4.96, Mike Berry and Josh McCcoy ran 4.99. Big MPH was J C Beattie at 141 mph. Warriors race team bought some real fast cars, several in the 4.40 zone with 165 mph top end speeds. Big Tire No Time standouts were Scott Kline and Gary Walker, these two made excellent passes. Quick 16 was loaded, two fields qualified, the first group bump a 5.64 second group 6.02. 37 cars battled it out to make one of the fields.  NA Factory cars were cool, heads up 1/4 mile stick Mustangs, high winding small blocks, big wheel stands and the faster cars ran just under 10.20 ets. @ 130 mph. Lastly we ran a 6.50 Index class [1/8 mile] deal, last year we got as high as 14 entries this race a whopping 32 cars raced the class! Now we have to talk about the weather, it was cloudy and cool all day with temps in the mid 50's, there was light rain all around but aside a couple of sprinkle delays the rain held off and let us complete two full rounds for five of the six classes, 6.50 Index got in three rounds. About 9:30 PM light showers rolled in and wet everything down that were would be no way to continue the race. All racers still in split the full purses to make it a completed though shortened race. Let's thank a bunch of people, Justin Reggio of Md. Perfromance Center, Larry Mack and the Warrior race team drivers and crew members, all other competitors for supporting the race, our big turn out of race fans and lastly all of the Mason Dixon crew for the great track surface and keeping the event running as smoothly as possible, great work at our food stand, just good racing by all competing in the "Battle Mayhem" event! 
 
Sunday  --  May 12th  --  Mothers Day   ( Rain Most of the Day but did not dampen the spirits fot the Cruise for the Cure ) Sara and the Stablemates Car Club were able to muster over 43 SHow Cars and many vendors, The Pit Pork and Beef were out of site, . Sara texted me at the end of the day and stated they were able to gather over 7700 dollars for the Cure. Talks are in the works to possible continue the Cruise in June to get the Drag Racing portion completed.
 
Once again steady rains cancelled the drag racing portion of the 7th Annual "Cruise for the Cure" event. These events have been very successful in the past but now last year and this years events have been marred by by rainy weather. Hats off to Sara Mulkey and the Stablemates car club for so much hard work and time being put into this event.
 
This coming weekend is a Summit ET series race both on Saturday and Sunday, all Summit classes contested, Memorial Day weekend SBRA race the following week. See you at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  May 4th
 
This was a Test & Tune event contested on a mostly cloudy cool day, heavy rain Friday night made the lower pits pretty wet. The track crew did great a job drying and prepping the track and had it ready for the noon start time. We also had the Outlaw Pontiac Drag Race Series cars with us on their first event of the 2019 season, this is their 21st year as a race series, they have had that deal together a long time. It was Rodney Eichelberger getting the win over Randy Peer. East Coast Impala Racing group had their Impalas running, Dan Fahey took the win with his excellent Pure Stocker Impala. The Mopar Slant Six racers were with us too, former series champ Ron Hamby won in his Dart. With the big Battle Mayhem event coming this Saturday May 11th we some Md. Performance Center Real Street racers with us testing. The leader of the MPC Real Street and owner of Md Perfromance Center Justin Reggio finally got his own car out to play. Running the business and overseeing the Real Street races has caused Justin to take five years to finish up his own ride, what a beautiful, well belt hot rod it is too. Mustang powered by an LS nitrous assisted 451 ci. Chevy powerplant. First time down the track netted a 5.23 and on his last and best pass, 5.13 @ 135 mph. Only one throw away run, fives passes were quicker each time down the track, a successful day. We had a pretty good turn out of Test & Tune cars, MPC Real Street Josh McCoy and Russ Martin made some test passes during the event. Not a bad day, we finished up about 4:30 PM. 
 
Sunday  --  May 5th
 
More rain moved in again early Sunday causing us to cancel the Mopar race, it is rescheduled for June 16th, this is getting old now.
 
Hope to see everyone this weekend, Friday a " Heavy Prep" Test & Tune, Saturday "Battle Mayhem" with lots of heads up racing and on Sunday the Cruise for the Cure event, cars show and drag racing. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  April 13th
 
This was our tie-breaker race. We started with the Junior Dragsters and it was Dylan Moore for the win over Travis Hill, we are going to see a lot of these two all year long in late rounds and finals. Bike had Brian Canoles as a winner.Pro Driver was the biggest class with Mark Harbaugh over Dahrl Clark. Super was won by Steve Morgret over Mike Daymude. An overall good to day for the first real race of the year.
 
Sunday  --  April 14th
 
Again and sadly the weather or lack of good weather won out here. Rain again.
 
Saturday  --  April 20th
 
This was to be our first SBRA race and you guessed it another rain out.
 
Easter Sunday  --  April 21st
 
Were closed for Easter
 
Saturday  --  April 27th 
 
This was a Summit ET series race and it was a cool day with temps in the 50's but with very high and gusty winds all day long, we started on time and began with the Junior Dragsters. With such high winds were shortened their racing to 330' ft. A good mover there. Travis Hill took the win with Ryan Ely the second place driver. Junior Street was won by Travis Hill over Dylan Moore. Pro Driver was won by Mark Harbaugh over Doug Lindahl, see a pattern here, Mark Harbaugh won last time out and in our smaller gamblers race back in March he took the win also, he's on it already. Super had Joe Martz dead on his 5.59 dial to win over breaking out Brandon Lowe. Brian Canoles took Bike over Eric Bowles, that's two straight for Brian, nice work. Sportsman was won by Rocky Moore. Trophy had a couple of the Pontiac gang in the finals, Chuck Hutzler over Mike Clay. All the racing was shortened up to the 1/8 mile due to such windy conditions, another decent day considering the less than perfect racing weather.
 
Sunday  --   April 28th
 
Overnite rain and very wet pits caused another race falling victim to weather.
 
This Sat. May 4th a Test & Tune noon til 4 PM. Sunday May 5th is our big Mopar event, gates open early for racers and car show participants. Racing starting 11:30 am.

Saturday  --  April 6th
 
Weather again no problem, partly cloudy skies and temps in the mid 60's for Test & Tune day. About 75 cars, bikes and junior dragsters made passes from noon til 4 PM. Again a lot of full on race cars and bikes were on hand getting ready for the upcoming Summit and SBRA points races. Track was again great and everyone was fast too. A fun day to be at the track for sure. Two friends of mine, Katrina and Zack were visiting from from Stillwater Oklahoma, they were impressed by the fast cars and they liked our foodstand too! They'll be back.
 
Sunday  --  April 7th
 
Weather just about like Sunday. Just a bit warmer. Today more racers, 93 were with us and lots of race fans. Several Md. Performance Center Real Street cars were in the house making several passes each. Ronnie Boyd made several passes in his A / Econo Dragster, a 4.45 @ 155 mph in the 1/8 mile. Everyone made several runs each. Oh, how about Kathy Gerhart in her T-Bird sporting a 347 stroker small block Ford engine going straight into the 11's with a 11.75 @ 113 mph pass, she'll  be tough in Sportsman this year. Another real good day, we finished right a 4 PM.
 
We would like to thank Al Crawford of Al's Body Shop, Martinsburg, WV for now sponsoring our Trophy class at each of the SBRA points races, the winner and runner-up will receive a "Xmas Tree Trophy", these are are real nice, made from a composite material and are heavy....very desirable for our racers. Thanks Al and Chris, remember these folks when needing a any body work / collision repair! We are back this weekend, Saturday the tie-breaker race, Junior Dragsters at 9;00 am, big cars go at 11:30 am. On Sunday the first Summit ET Series race, Junior Dragsters at 9:00 am, big cars at 11:30 am. Almost forgot, Trish our front gate gal was released from the hospital on Sunday after a week stay, is home resting....yeah right! I won't be present this weekend, surgery on Friday, hope to make the following weekend, see you at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Saturday  --  March 30th
 
We had some light rain showers at about 9 am, they moved out quickly and with a breeze and temps that got to 70 degrees we were ready to go and on time with our Test & Tune event. What a crowd....154 racers and an excellent turn out of race fans tsaw some great running drag cars, street cars, Junior Dragsters, 12 of them and bikes made about 5 runs each. The track worked great as always and our new Accutime timing system works as it is supposed to. We had several of the NMRA Coyote Stock Mustangs making low ten second passes, this is a new class that will contested five times this year on our Street Nite races, first one will be on May 11th. This is a heads up class, close racing and big wheel stands too. Because we had so many cars we ran an extra hour finishing up about 5 PM. A really good race day, a big thanks to all that participated.
 
Sunday  --  March 31st
 
This race day was way colder, temps got to the high 40's and real windy but at least mostly sunny. The car count was way smaller but those that raced got a great track to run on and made many passes down the track. We did run a Gamblers race with no entry fee, $50.00 to the winner, this gave us a chance to work with our new timing system under race day circumstances. Mark Harbaugh dialed 10.00 to against Brian Stephan's 11.15, Mark with the better light but Brian was dead on the dial, Mark squeezed by for the win, a .0026 margin of victory....dead close! Oh, the match race of the day, Elmer Wachter in Cathy's GMC 6.2 LS powered wagon squared off against son in law and track manager Jake Landes in his Toyota Tundra V-8 truck. Elmer had a better light and it was close to the 60 ft mark and then it was all Elmer to the finish line, 14.22 @ 100 mph and Jake with a game 15.40 @ 90 mph. Wasn't close gang but fun, chalk one up General Motors! I'm sure by now everyone knows of the passing of Wayne Donoho last week, what a great guy, he loved to drag racing but liked hanging out with his fellow racers even more, he will be missed for sure. We finished up the day at 4 PM. Now next weekend both Saturday and Sunday are Test & Tune Days noon to 4 PM both days. See you all next weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

Sunday  --  March 24th
 
How about it....we finally got underway, after the first three weekends of March with either freezing temps, high winds, snow cover or really wet grounds the weather straightened up for the first racing of the 2019 racing season on Sunday with temps that hit 60 degrees later in the day. We started a few minutes late but everything else for our first race day went well. 93 competitors in a mix of full on race cars, street cars, bikes and trucks made their first passes of the year. Our race fans showed up in very good numbers as well. New for this year is a new state of the art Accutime timing system and it worked well too. Angela handled the computer chores and did a real good job as always. The new timing tower at the burnout area is now up and fully functional, car numbers and dial-ins will be easier to read than before, remember though, we still need bold, clear and legible car numbers and dial-ins from all our racers even though we are closer to the cars than before. The  new burnout boxes are a big improvement for all. We had NHRA chassis certifications on Fri, Sat and Sun, 97 cars went through the process. A big thanks to Steven Dickey and Elmer for handling the announcing duties, I spent three days in the hospital last week and  thought it would be best to sit Sunday out, thanks guys! I'll be back this weekend and hope of you will also. Sat. March 30th and Sunday March 31st are both Test & Tune days, noon to 4 PM both days. Oh, we wrapped things up a 4:30 PM. See you this coming weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!

What a turn out, 160+ cars, bikes, trucks and junior dragsters in the house. Many made their fastest passes ever in below sea level air, -1300 ft. at noon.  Bill Smith's Pinto ran a quick 9.63 @ 136mph fastest ever for that car, many others ran fast like Bill. J. C' Beattie made his first ever passes and his license runs in his "ATI Performance Products" Junior Dragster, well done. We were to run til 4 PM but an oil down caused us to run long, last cars down the track were at 4:30 PM.

Thoughts on this race....A huge thanks to Chris Lil who put up $600.00 to our Junior Dragster racers, this money was given to best losing packages in several rounds, perfect light money and winner and runner up money. He feels that the Junior dragster racers are our future and likes to support them at different events through out the year, thanks again Chris! We had 40 perfect .000 lights in the five days of racing. Mike Daymude and James Farmer had two runner ups, great work to those two but how about Dylan Moore, two wins, one on Friday and one on Sunday! Great track prep / maintenance all week, there were three different dragsters that ran under 1.00 second 60 ft. times, one as quick as .989. Big wheel stands from many racers, most were very fast, good air / great track makes them fast. Thanks to Gary Gore and Hain Dominick for helping run the event. New helpers Ken at the starting line and Vicky in the foodstand. Plus all of our regular staff did great work, they put in the long hours to make the event work well. On a personal note....thanks Darlene Bernie Staub for the excellent lunches, thanks Courtney Suders for announcing especially on Saturday and to Steve Dickey and Crissy Bainbridge for giving me breaks announcing also, they are all real good too. We had 1462 racers this week making about 7,000 passes. Congrats to team Baevers Springs getting 95 points to win the championship, Mason Dixon got 75, Eastside and US 13 61, Keystone 23 and Colonial Beach 16. I'm sure I missed something here but a big thanks to all that participated in the event, racers, their crew and family members and the the track staff. We had to be flexible with this event, mainly caused by mother nature issues. Again thanks to all that were with us for the 2018 SBRA Bracket Finals!

Saturday  --  Oct. 13th
 
Another Street Nite event in the books. Weather 35 degrees cooler than last weekend, temps barely hit 50 degrees and this made everyone real fast. We started at 1 PM with all classes getting a shake down run and about 2 PM we got qualifying underway. In Md Performance Real Street Russ Martin took the pole with a personal best of the year 5.03 @ 140 mph. Steve Kent,  Mike Berry and John Snyder were really fast too. Steve ran the best 60 ft. time with a rocket quick 1.14 launch. Wheel stand of the night, Jack Williamson's Nova went sky high to the 330' mark and stayed with it the whole way down, what a ride! When we got to the final, John Snyder and Mike Berry were to square off but opted to finish on Sunday, they were a bit wary of the colder track temps. Jack Williamson was third. Good show by all the Real Street racers. Quick 16 had 22 entries, a 6.01 was the bump. In the finals it was Jerry Williams taking the win over Mitch Willingham, semi racers were Lance Kreiger and Michael Shoop. The 6.50 Index class has seen steady growth with 12 entries, Pat Hahn won out over Matt Bowie. Pro was won by Justin Crider over Greg Garland. Drive in Street had Brian Canoles over Larry Price in the finals. A big thanks to Corey Thompson of BNL Inc. A disabled service employee owned company supplying technical support to numerous US Government agencies, for putting up money for the Real Street racers and $150.00 to the Drive in Street racers. Best packages in each of  the first three rounds of Drive in Street got $50.00, Brian Canoles, Larry Price and Donnie Myers got the cash, thanks Corey and BNL Inc. We finished up just before 8 PM. It was getting cold then, mid 40's, Fall's here now.
 
Sunday  --  Oct. 14th
 
It seemed ok early but about 11 am light showers that turned to a steady cold rain caused a cancellation of our racing again. We will move this event to a open spot, Sunday Oct. 28th, start time 11:30 am. We'll get that Real Street final in also.
 
The SBRA racers roll in on Wed for the 5 Day SBRA Bracket Finals, $68,000 up for grabs this coming week. Oh, and congrats to Ronnie  and Karen Proctor  as he won his second "Wally" of the year in Top Sportsman at Charlotte on Sunday, way to go! See you Wed. And all week at Mason Dixon Dragway!
