Oh Maryland International Raceway, just down the street from the dirt track of Potomac Speedway and Budds Creek Motorcross Park.
 
Brittany Force has announced she will retire at the end of this season to start a family.
 
This, my friends, is hauling the mail.

' Langdon broke the NHRA’s speed record on Friday during a qualifying run at South Georgia Motorsports Park, reaching 345.00 mph. Brittany Force had the previous record of 343.51 mph, which she set last year in Indianapolis. " MSN.
 
The track was sketchy, so it was the same scneario as earlier this year. The way the "rev limiter" works on a nitro car, the slower you can accelerate the engine on the front half, the more you can lean into it in the back half - once the engine hits a certain RPM, a timer kicks off, then starts taking engine timing away. Having to tiptoe through the first 500ft meant the second 500ft you could pour the coal on and the "rev limiter" wouldn't be active yet because you took longer to cross the trigger threshold RPM.

I can see the speed record falling again in Southern Maryland next weekend. That place is extremely fast.
