I get off work at 8 in Waldorf, so I can be up there around 8:45. I won't have my car, but was probably gonna go anyway. I'll look for you in the staging lanes.

From I-695 you want to take it around to the Southern/SW part of the beltway to I-97 South. I-97 will be a 6 lane, divided highway until it hits MD-32 and MD-3. You want to take MD-3 South towards Crofton (or sometimes it says Bowie, even though Bowie is further South than Crofton).
I haven't come from that direction in a long, long time...I don't remember exactly what the traffic pattern is, sorry. Once you're on Route 3 South (Route 3 North merges w/I-97, so there is really only one direction to go, I believe), you head down several miles, and you will see a green highway sign that says "Capitol Raceway Road -->". The turnoff is about a quarter mile after that, follow the road down to its end and you will see the entrance to the racetrack.
If you're on MD-3 and you see a McDonald's in the median, you've gone just a little bit too far.
I'm assuming you would be coming from I-695, but in case you're taking the Bay Bridge over (US-50 West), you can take 50 to I-97 North, which will have an exit for MD-32 and MD-3, then just take the MD-3 exit, and follow the rest of the directions above.
Hope this helps!

Cool dude - good luck! I won't be able to make Capitol, unfortunately. I work too late, and I really can't spare the $10 - as bad as it sounds. It's a long story, but my insurance company and I had a miscommunication and I bounced several checks...plus the money I was going to give my friend to finish my engine.
Blah.
I need my F-body fix! It's been like three months, lol.
