6.13.2010/NSCRA at MD Int’l Raceway

• Talk about being hoooot…..the action at the track was where the action was! Sport compact class with motors of all variations were at this event, which was held at MD International Raceway. Despite threats of showers during the day, racing was the gameplan of the day. Track temps were close to the 90′s and track times ranged from 7 to 8 seconds and _fast_ speeds started easily at 150 MPH!

• Also present at this event was Jessica Barton, who hosted the bikini contest. I’m not sure which was hotter — racing at the track or the bikini contest. You can be the judge of that.   Coverage by N deVera and A Dobbs.

• If you missed this event, be sure to attend the next NSCRA event at MIR – it will be held on July 25 and the third round will return on September 19.
