Re: "Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals
 
I'm sure Ken will have more but, from what I have seen online looks like the everyone will get 2 time runs and 1st round tomorrow. With the low car counts you'll have less then 20 cars left going into Saturday and should be an easy fix to be able to knock at least 2 -3 rounds out Saturday and get down to the final 4 on Sunday but, either way if Saturday is a wash they could run that little amount after the Pros are done on Sunday and not have to hang till Monday.

After R1
Stock - 17
SC - 14
SS - 17
SG - 15
TD - 5
Comp - 7

Here is the updated schedule for tomorrow... who knows what will happen. I am rethinking my race schedule for this season, there comes a point where you just have to say enough is enough. Staying close to home seems like the logical choice for the near future.

I see the price for diesel is nuts, try this, I am waiting on a 150 gallon delivery for our furnace, $6.15 a gallon, 150 gall. minimum for off road fuel, no road fuel tax. FJB, John Kissel

Almost 1/2in every class. I believe Stock, Super Stock, SC & SG were all at the 55 car quota or above. Comp had 19 and I think TD was 17 at the high point if I remember. Once the forecast came out and NHRA allowed till Tuesday to drop it was like the mass exodus

NHRA.TV says it'll start at 11:30. Does that mean they won't be broadcasting Sportsmen or that you are also at 11:30?

Good morning everyone, it rained over night and into the morning. It has stopped for the most part... its overcast and damp with a mist here and there. They are pumping water off the track, and just started the track dryer.

No word on when we will start racing today. My opinion... it does not look good. The weather is coming off the ocean, there is so much moisture in the air. i would be shocked if we get anything done today, but lets hope we get a break in the weather.

Drag Race Central reports track drying now.

The weather app on my phone shows a dry window until 2:00 pm then a chance of rain the rest of the day.

NHRA.TV shows "Please stand by, event starting soon.
