Re: Live from the Dinwiddie, VA - NHRA Virginia Nationals
No problem Scott, but I wish Jack was doing this instead, Jack are you listing. Just got back from the last qualifying shot.
The air was not good, bar dropped to 29.56 and humidity also went up. All in all it was a good day and we are supposed to be out first thing in the morning for first round, weather permitting. I took some more pictures of stock in the staging lanes waiting for there last qualifying run., I found some Mopars Jim. |

Re: Live from the Dinwiddie, VA - NHRA Virginia Nationals
Heck, Kenny, truth be known, I wish I WAS THERE doing the reporting and photos. however, my life, like most, is filled with elementary school aged children, work, wife, pets, etc and it is unlikely I will get to return to the best racing in the country, which in my experience, is anywhere east of the Mississippi.
I miss Columbus and Norwalk, Maple grove, Englishtown, keystone, Kil Kare, Edgewater, Bowling Green-can you tell I grew up in Columbus when muscle cars were a fairly new concept and 5 night a week racing was possible? |

Re: Live from the Dinwiddie, VA - NHRA Virginia Nationals
Thanks Bob,
Well the dreaded rains came in early this morning. No rain now and the sun is trying to peak out. The forecast is for a 50% chance of rain today. They are drying the track now and Stock is supposed to be first out for eliminations. The weather looks great for tomorrow, and with the low car counts, I think there should be no problem getting this race finished on sunday |

Re: Live from the Dinwiddie, VA - NHRA Virginia Nationals
Update, they called us to the lanes about 9 am. They were still working on the track. The right lane was not holding any rubber down. I guess the early rain was enough to screw things up. Just as they finished working on the track 3 hours later, it started to rain. About a 1/3 of the cars went back to their trailers as did I. I would have stayed, but its time for lunch.
Light rain and still on hold. |
