"Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Hello everyone, we are here at D1's first race of the season. Weather this weekend looks good with temps in the mid 60's. There is a test and tune tomorrow from 12 to 6. They let us park today from 3 to 9. Most D1 races we get to park on Wednesday, which is great for the early arrival's.

Not many race cars out today. I did catch one of Gary Richard's cars out. The track is all new from start to the finish line. Sterling Simmons told me the track is smooth and hooks great.

Larry Wiggins was our parking attendant today, as he is at all the D1 events.

Thank you, Ken! Really looking forward to your reporting and the pictures you'll be sharing! Good Luck to you and wishing everyone a safe race this weekend at Dinwiddie!

I'll be on "jack-stands" this weekend, with the D1 You-tube feed cranked up to "ELEVEN"! :)

Looking forward to the pics. The new owners of VMP are making big improvements and are very very nice people.

Hey Ken,

Is stock getting one qualifying pass Friday morning and one Saturday morning?

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

The schedule say's (2) runs on Friday & one Sat. morning, with 1st Rd for Stock & S/S in the afternoon ...The rest of the show is on Sunday ...There's no rain in sight till Monday ? I was their today & watched the T N T, there was a Strong- head- wind blowing at 20-30 MPH ... Didn't hear any ET's , tomorrow will be cooler ... Hope this helps , Track look's Great & had some good bite when I Tested their a couple of weeks ago !!! Should be very interesting to see how fast it is on the first run tomorrow ???

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Here are some shots from today's testing. We had a steady 10 to 15 mph head wind with gusts up to 30. On one of my test runs it felt like I hit a brick wall after the 1/8 mile. the DA was around 1400ft.

I have a video I will up load later. The Schedule for the race is what Dave posted.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Anybody know what the density altitude was when super stock run? Thanks.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

I was told - 40 feet

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Mine says -168 now

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Thanks. It's super fast down there this morning.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Mitch. What was the correction factor?

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

I had -115 on my weather station when Super Stock ran. the bar was 30.10 and the water grains were 16, I have never seen them that low. It was fast this morning.

Here are some random shots from today. I could not get to the starting line today, I will try later. We are just finishing up with Super Stock qualifying, but there are quick 8's to be run tonight.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Not very good resolution on this video but still worth watching this massive wheel stand by Shane Oakes.

Whoa!

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Good morning all, weather is about the same as yesterday except there is a slight tail wind. Its about 52 as I type and we should be starting soon with the 3rd qualifier in Stock.

I'm told we may get two elimination rounds in if the day goes smooth. Mine shaft rules are for Stock but not Super Stock as of the 2nd qualifier, it might change today.

Warren Evans posted the D1TV link, I also posted here.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Thank You Ken for all the reporting, picture & video taking.
Much Appreciated !!!

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

What Pete said!!!

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Stock and Super Stock are done with round one. Stock will run round 2 time permitting. Everyone else is done for the day. Alcohol and Comp will finish today.

Here are some photos from Super Stock action today. I will have Stock up later, I have not had much time to shoot stock, I lost first round so I will have more than enough time to cover both classes.

Tomorrow we start late, after 10 for final rounds.

A few more....

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Does anyone have results from Stock, Live feed not working to well!

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

DRC should have 2nd round of Stock up soon. The internet connection has not been good for streaming video, not much can be done there.

The photos are from round 2 of Stock in the lanes and under the tower. Stock will be out first tomorrow around 10:30 for round 3.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Thanks, cant find on the sheets . Did he hurt something ? what year ? Rick.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

If I remember correctly its an 04, he was at Galot last weekend but couldn't get a good pass out of it and didn't go by the scales. I never got chance to talk with him to see what kind of problem he was having.

Re: "Live From" LODRS Virginia Motorsports Park
 

Hey everyone, we are well underway with final eliminations. Stock is done with round three, Top Dragster is running now. The weather is great, temps in the upper 60's mostly sunny.
