LIVE from Farmington
A very good morning to you ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the IHRA Summit Pro-Am Tour at Farmington Dragway, just west of Winston-Salem, NC. Some small but thunderous storm cells blew through last night, cutting short the test n' tune session. Fog dominates the usually scenic facility this morning, but only a few puddles remain from the overnight rain. Track crews have been out working diligently on the track, and given that we're already past the 9am start time, it is apparent that both safety and a good racing surface are paramount -- we are on hold for the time being as they continue to work. The fog is falling so heavy, that just driving over to tech and back with the window down, my steering wheel is wet! I was #137 through the gate, so both Atlanta and the weather forecast have hampered attendance, although several are here that were on the fence.
Conditions are currently a challenging 67.6 F, 88% Humidity, 28.83 Barometer, 2440' DA, and a choking .580 vapor pressure. That said, a front is supposed to come through tomorrow with clearer weather. |

CFM,
S/SS can not come in after qualifying is done. I would call Satch to make sure they are not going to do a run tommorrow before you go. Chip |

Re: LIVE from Farmington
I don't think there is a Sunday AM run.
Did they run the combo last night? If so, who won it, how many ran, etc? |
Re: LIVE from Farmington
Postponed until Memorial day weekend.

Re: LIVE from Farmington
I think that is a bad date to reschedule. They won't gain many cars.
Holiday weekend Rockingham has 5,000-7,500-5,000 top et which will take a lot of the piperacks and rod cars. Many other races that weekend too. Hard for me to beleive they could'nt pick a better date than that. Chip |
Re: LIVE from Farmington
A friend of mine got to the track at 10am and was told that the plan was to get one time run and go racing Sunday, so he paid 195.00 for a Jr, and a hot rod car. Just over an hour later its cancelled. The fact they cancelled it is fine but not after what we were told.
