Butch,
Car count will be good at VMP. I guess 400. People going to the N races probably would'nt come to VMP if it was on an off weekend. |

One of the things we heard after the one at MIR was "I didn't know about it". The VMP race has been on a Sticky on this forum since the beginning of August, and been on IHRA all year. $200 entry for $5,000 + national event contingency. Win that race, and you have a free entry into the $10,000 +contingency Tournament of Champions, and the whole weekend is Sportsmen only.
Like the guy on radio says, "It's the biggest no-brainer in the history of the universe." Sucks that there's so many races scheduled on the same weekend. All of them are just costing each other entries. While IHRA always takes good care of the show, as an added bonus, VMP recently hired Alan Carpenter as track manager. I think he's always done a great job, wherever he's been.

First round of qualifying starts at 10:30 am Friday so you might want to there a little earlier if you are racing.

You'll be looking for the I-85 South interchange, Exit 51, just south of Petersburg. The exit for VMP on I-85 South is Exit 63A, US 1, (it's well marked) then stay straight on Boydton Plank Road for about 4 miles and the track is on the right. Travel safe! See you on Friday morning! Lew

Michael, You stated that if you win the race in the class that you are in you have a free entry into the tournament of champions race. According to the rules that IHRA listed on class racer October 5th, concerning re-entries, if you lose the first round, re-enter and win the race you will not be automatically qualified for the championship race because of the re-entry. Is this true or is this a misprint? Believe me, I am not trying to cause any problems but if this is true you definitely need to post that stipulation.

Sorry for not posting every nuance. The details are on IHRA.com and on the sticky thread on ClassRacer.
