Default "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.

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.
