For everyone who has been asking and very caring about Michael Leizear “AKA”
Daddy’s Wallet, he has Mantle Cell Lymphoma. This is a cancer of the blood. He is getting
chemo treatments and has had two so far. The first day is always long about 7 or 8 hours
and lots of meds. The next morning is only about 3 or 4 hours and less meds. He does
ok during the treatment but, about two days later he gets pretty sick and very tired. I
am very positive we will get Michael through this. I  took him to his last treatment
and it was really great to sit with Michael and go back in the day of our memories at
the track when we were 14 or 16 years old. Michael is my best like a best girl friend to
me so please keep him in your prayers along with Little Michael and the entire family.
Michael said to let everyone know “I’LL SEE YOU IN MARCH ON THE TRACK!” We will
keep everyone updated and Thank you all who care.

I must announce we will have a new raceway baby in May, 2012
                                                      It’s a Girl
Congratulations to ME oh and Christina & Keven

I would like to thank everyone who came out and supported Capitol Raceway in our 2011 season.
It was a wet hard year for all of us but, what we raced was great and always good to see your faces.
I enjoyed all of our races this year and all that came out.  Hopefully next season will not be so
wet. We look forward to some of our regular events and new ones that are being planned for 2012.
I hope everyone has a safe, happy winter and Happy Holidays to all.
Also we thank all of our employees for working hard and giving all their weekend time.
The track is closed for the 2011 season and we’ll see you all soon.

 Sitting on the trailer ramp at Mason Dixon Dragway

Jillian warming up her car “Dad it’s just not running right”
Butch “The Damn door won’t shut right”
Jillian “But it is not running right”
Butch “The Door is not right”
Five minutes of this and it was hilarious
Five seconds,  Mr. Charlie, Motor runs right and door is shut “PRICLESS”
Mr. Charlie “Pops” Weinreich will surely be missed at Capitol Raceway and in our hearts forever.
Thank you for the memories. (click the image to enlarge)

  Recently questions have been raised with regard to Racepak data collection and Racepak dash units. The data collection units are approved for use in Class 1 as outlined in the NHRA rule book.The system must be installed in a manner where no live data is reported to the driver at any time during a run. This includes turning on dash mounted lights or any other items to provide the driver with track location.

Driveshaft counters are approved for collection of data only. The counters may not be used to sense wheel spin causing the ignition to automatically correct as a traction control device. The delay box cannot be connected directly or indirectly to the ignition system. Please see the NHRA rules for exact wording of the rules pertaining to delay boxes, ignition systems and data collection devices.

Capitol Raceway has recently received many questions and concerns with regard to
delay box and ignition system electronics wiring on Class 1 cars. The questions
came from unsolicited information being spread by word of mouth and written in
unauthorized hand-outs based on historic incidents. NHRA preferred we did not
respond to posts on the internet.

To clarify, any car wired in a manner where the delay box is used to control
timing retard or multiple timing retards in the ignition system, the wiring is
prohibited by the NHRA. In addition, splices in wiring to the transmission
brake, with exception to controlling the two step module, is prohibited by the
NHRA. This includes wires to and from the button used for activating the
transmission brake. During technical inspections any cars found wired in a
manner prohibited by the NHRA rules will not be allowed to race. Anyone found to
be operating a car in competition or who provides information they have operated
a car in competition wired in a manner prohibited by the NHRA will be subject to
disciplinary actions to include suspension and possibly being banned from racing
at Capitol Raceway and other NHRA sanctioned tracks.

All NHRA members have access to the 2011 Rules through downloading the book from
the NHRA web site under the competition tab. Rule books can also be purchased
directly from the NHRA. Information on purchasing the rule books is also located
on the NHRA web site.

CALL NOW TO RENT THE TRACK ON ANY FRIDAY FROM 10 AM TO 4 PM FOR YOUR OWN PRIVATE DAY AT THE RACEWAY.
