Speed on Strips and Sand

Maryland International Speedway at Budd's Creek will be hosting the national tour of PINKS ALL OUT all day June 20th. PINKS ALL OUT is the top tier of the drag racing circuit. Speed TV will be filming as hundreds of the best drag racers in the country will chase $18,000 in prize money.

Having (somewhat) recovered her equilibrium and dignity after the header on the Gwynns Falls Trail, Blogue will test her balance by canoeing Muddy Creek West at River Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. This educational exercise is part of the environmental mission of the natural resources research complex.
