"Live From" Virginia Motorsports Park LODRS D1

I hate to post these photos, the Funny cars where staged... a quick shower hit the tack around the 1/8th mile. Not sure if it was raining in the shut down. I'm guessing the starter did not see the rain. They sent them down and both cars hit the wall mid track. They managed not to hit each other. The fuel cell exploded in flames when the one car hit the wall. Both drivers got out and they seem to be ok. The crew and one driver I saw were livid, yelling, I can't believe they sent us down.

Obviously we are on hold, and more rain is expected around 8pm. Right now the showers have stopped. You can view it on the D1 stream on youtube.
