"Live From" Virginia Nationals
Hey guys, we are at the Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park. Its good to have a National event here again. Yes it is hot here, but its no worse than the D2 race at GALOT. I know some are making it bigger than it is. Guy's many of us have raced in the weather in the past Its not Ideal, but its not the worse thing either. I would rather be racing than working.
I'm in the stacking area, I would guess there are about 70 plus rigs here. Parking starts tomorrow at 8AM. Anyway, here is another rolling into video. |

Re: "Live From" Virginia Nationals
Had to laugh at myself Ken. I started watching your video like normal. The video didn't roll 15 seconds and I sent a picture of your rig to my friend Paul Wong. Saying in my next life I need to start sooner on a nice towing set up like you have. Then I watched the rest. Yes I would!

Re: "Live From" Virginia Nationals
Did I read this correctly, before the pros go down the track the first time there will be only Four stockers left. Great value for funds well spent.

Re: "Live From" Virginia Nationals
Good morning all. I will post weather numbers below. There has been lot a talk about the heat. I think its a little overblown. It went up to 89 yesterday, I have been in a lot worse. There was a nice breeze, it was fine. Today it will reach 90, still not bad. I think its kind of funny that we are told to stay hydrated. Most of us are pretty old, and we made it this far... I think we know we are supposed do. I feel like I am getting a service announcement, like I was an uninformed child.
Stock is out first at 9AM, its 7:30 as I type. I was able to get a few photos yesterday. I will back later with more... its going to be a busy day. Temp 69 Humid 85% Bar 30.01 DA 1531ft Water Grains 93 Wind calm |

Ken, I think it's the world we live in, the older crowd knows what to do but the younger crowd unless they hear it on social media or the news would sit outside with a jacket and ski pants on....lol |

That said, what we do is a warm weather sport yet we now have tracks that have canceled this weekend's programs due to the heat. . Last edited by 1320racer; 06-21-2024 at 08:35 AM. |
