Thanks. If you watch the video closely, you can see a 4 speed, Hemi Cuda in lane 1 do a nice wheelie in the pass before mine. I *think* that car runs low 9s. The guy in the other lane on my pass was Dave Reitz in a 65 Dodge. Dave is a friend of mine and was one of the crew members for the Bob Banning Dodge, Bounty Hunter cars from the 60s and 70s. Dave's in his middle 70s now and still races every weekend. You can usually find him doing the Nostalgia thing with the 422 Motorsports guys. The Banning cars were factory supported racers.

As I understand it, they've used the track for some kind of DOT testing at some point in the past. I'm not exactly sure what that means but I think the overhead thing has cameras in it. They must have rented the track to test vehicles. Oh, in case you didn't recoginize it, this is Capitol Raceway in Crofton, Maryland.

Wow, you're close! You're probably the first person to correctly make the connection. George Preddy is one of my heros. When I was younger, I read his autobiography and was so taken aback with his life story I made his name my handle. It's been my "handle" for about 12 years. Preddy was the leading P-51 Mustang ace at the time of his death on December 25, 1944. I would encourage everyone to read up on him. He was a true hero. We need more guys like him...

my Dad got me interested in WWll when I was growing up. I first learned about George Preddy back in ...'76 IIRC while reading an issue of Air Classics. There was a freshly restored Mustang done in Preddy's markings. What's the name the book about him, I'll see if I can find a copy.
