"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.

That was the TAFC final with Annie Whitely and Wayne Morris. Was watching and heard RAIN in the announcer's background. Rich Bourke had just run, and his wife said it was raining as they were towing back. No spotters? It did come quick. They'll be talking about this for a while...

We are done for the night, heavy rain right now. Forecast is for rain on and off until late tomorrow morning.

Hey guys, I am home... left this morning. There was mist in the air, and the track dryer was Idle, so I hit the road. I just saw they called JR Dragsters to the lanes. Lets hope they get the race in... I wish them well. For me, I was just worn out and with only 2 1/2 hours away from home, it felt like the right thing to do.

There is a chance of rain on a few hours, but after that it looks good. I'll post my rolling home video later today. Next stop is Charlotte in 2 weeks.

Super Street Ed Pauley hit the wall at the stripe... he is out of the car and looks to be okay, they are on hold.
