"Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals

401K’s getting hurt by the markets isn’t helping anything…face it, a lot of us are retired.

Paying record high diesel prices to sit in the rain and race Sunday night or Monday is an issue. Tough to miss 2 to 3 days of work for that.

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?

I would guess there's a lot of wet cars even with the rain stopped.
