DIRECTIONS From the Baltimore Beltway Rt. 695, go to I-795 (Northwest Expressway) towards Owings Mills/Reisterstown. Take Exit 9A, left towards MD-30/MD-140/Hanover. Go north on Rt. 30 (Hanover Pike) for approximately 6 miles. Turn right on Arcadia Avenue for approximately 2/10 mile, then left on Carnival Avenue into site. Note: If you are staying in Westminster, MD, follow these same directions but take Rt. 140 north to the hotels, and get cross-country directions to the site from the hotel. If you are staying at the Red Roof or the Hampton Inn, you would want to get cross-country directions to the site from the hotel. Mapquest or MSN.com gives very good directions to/from all locations. Below is the agenda and class list from last year... it will be similar, but will be updated soon. Racing will be both days this year. SPECIAL NOTE We are having only one day of Racing this year, but have added Super Earth and additional classes under Field Lure Coursing. We have been hosting a Mason Dixon Trial for many years, but this will likely be the last one that we host. It is just too much work, and our group of Maryland terrier folks who have helped so much over the years are also getting worn out. We were going to make last year the last one, but friends encouraged us to do it again, so here we go. We hope all will enjoy an early day on Sunday, and weather permitting, stay around for some old-fashioned tail-gating on Sunday afternoon! Anyone who is willing to give us a hand with setup, racing, teardown, or just general help, we would greatly appreciate your assistance! If some of you locally are interested in carrying on the show, we can all talk about it after the trial.
