Street Car Takeover comes to MDIR on August 15th to host their event in Maryland. This roll racing and drag racing series, “Where Street Cars Rule,” continues to grow each year with an impressive fan and car count at each event. There are 18 classes for this series giving almost every type of racer a class to run in. This is an event to show up early for as the car count will fill up quickly and so will the stands.

The 2020 edition of the Superchargers Showdown will be another stellar event! October 9th – 10th, Top Fuel returns to MDIR! Clay Millican and Dom Lagana will be back again trying to reset records and turn on win lights. Lagana and Millican split last year’s match race 1-1.

Plus, we have the return of NEOPMA Pro Mods, 1320 Fabrication Warrior Outlaws, Jet Cars, Bunny and the Boys Funny Car, and the Speed Unlimited ET Series. More details to come.
