LIVE. from Richmond IHRA Div 1 Summit Pro-Am

Michael Beard · 04-18-2015, 11:48 AM

Good crowd on hand here at Johnny Davis's Richmond Dragway in Sandsyon, VA. As with all IHRA events, you can watch live video on MotorManiaTV.com. This weekend, my good friend and former co-worker at Quaker City Raceway and Staging Light Graphics, Matt Zapp is on the mic.

The announced plan is to get ahead of even any potential weather: run Saturday's race to completion, then 1 qualifying run and first round eliminations of Sunday's race tonight, then ginish tomorrow. Suits me, with a 9+ hr ride home!

They had a some heavy rain last night, and this afternoon's sun has percolated the moisture up through the track surface, so we've been on hold. Just one of those things you have to wait out, but we'll have some comfortable night racing tonight. Stock and Super Stock got both sessions in. Lane to lane the car ran exactly what it should. The air was 1,900' DA this morning, rising just a little this afternoon.

IHRA Tech spot checked a number of things this weekend, including hood scoops and intakes on some combinations, and checked all cars for loose ballast at the scales during the 2nd qualifying run.

Any reports of what happened the rest of the day? We left around 11am.

MikeMoller · 04-19-2015, 06:19 PM

webb in super gas, Anthony Walton in Stock over Fletcher, Jim Reynolds in Super Stock over Jake Sealy

Thanks Mike. Did they ever make a decision about the 2nd race?

Lew Silverman · 04-19-2015, 08:26 PM

The second race was cancelled and everyone had his or her entry-fee refunded. The Nitro Jam/Pro-Am at Maryland International Raceway, originally scheduled for June 19-21 as a single claiming event, will now be a double for both Division 1 and 9.

Thanks for the info Lew. Was a tough weekend to get the races completed.

Iwas just wondering in the finals of stock how did Walton on the tree leave the last yellow on and no green or red ? the cars before him left on green and after him. Was something wrong with the tree when he ran ? Racing for 46 yrs ive never seen this happen to me or any one else. thanks DON THE WORM ELGIN
