"Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals
 

Hello everyone, its Wednesday and we are in the stacking area. Parking starts around 7am tomorrow. The weather looks good for most of the race, with Sunday getting the best chance of late day thunderstorms.

The last time there was a national event here was 2009. The track has had major updates since then and now has an all concrete track. I was here at the division race in April and it was very smooth with no traction issues.

Today's parking went very smooth, with plenty of good spots left. Anyone coming in will have no wait as there is no line. Weather still looks pretty good, with a chance of rain late Sunday. Credential line is a none issue, all you have to do is drop your tech card off at the tech trailer.

Cars are starting to come out of the trailer, so I grab a few shots.

Hello everyone, I really hadn't planned to run this race because this is such a busy time of year for me but when the opportunity arose last week to get in I just couldn't pass. After all this is as close to home as it gets for me. True to form I'm not there yet but my rig is with Uncle Si at the helm, if he's not there he should be very close anyway.
I will be up later tonight with the family so I'm not sure how much reporting I will get done but I will jump in and help when I can. After qualifying tomorrow is done we plan on taking the kids to King's Dominion for the rest of the day so I should sleep good tomorrow night! Hey maybe I will through in a few pictures of that as well.

Mike thanks alot, we've been having alot of fun this year. Well I made it here and we are parked pretty far down and there was probably 15-20 rigs stacked outside. I'll have some updates in the morning but for now its time to get these girls to bed.

Good morning all, the sun is out and temps will be in the mid 80's today. The DA is 1200 ft now. Are schedule start time is 8:30 with Stock, then Super Comp followed by Super Stock and then Super Gas. Will do that three times today, all before 2pm. I will be back this afternoon with more photos.

Glad to see you made it James.

Good morning Ken and everyone, this morning is absolutely beautiful even a little chill in the air but that won't last for long. As Ken said 3 runs today and it should go quickly with only 4 classes here. I'm excited to check out the new surface.

We're all done for qualifying and other than a couple oil downs it has gone very smooth. I have some pictures I will share later but for now we are heading for the amusement park.
