It ain't looking good for me at the moment Danny, everything we own appears to want to break down here in the log woods and to top it off the baby has a virus. It will take some luck for me to make the hot rod call.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

Hate to here that , Hope everything works out for you.....You may not want to go if everything is wanting to break on you.....

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

I wish I was work got in the way again. It sounds like it would be fun, just not the 2600 mile trip (one way). Hopefully I can qualify again next year and I will be cheering for Division 6 racers.

Good point Danny but if I did tear it up that would be a good excuse to buy Chip's car. Chip about Darlington you know what they say about the blind squirl lol.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

From the threads on here, seems like a lot of races this week-end. Might lessen the number of cars at VMP.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

I still think this race is the best bang for your buck....and it will be the last IHRA race of the season....

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

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.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

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.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

Micheal your exactly right. We have been planning for this race all season long and cant wait to be there!

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

I will be there friday afternoon.

What is the best way to get to the track coming from 95 N?

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

I'll be there Thursday afternoon. Looking forward to it.

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

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

I will only be running the TOC race.....thanks though

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

Chris,

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!

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

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.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

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

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

That would be my luck to buy back and then win;.';;.'

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

Have to be a member also to go to the TOC.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

How does qualifying and reentry work? Ladder based on qualifying for first round like normal? Then a new ladder made after the reentry round?

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
 

Mark, Last race at Budd's Creek ,,,(same race )
You qualify as normal with a ladder as usual on 1st round.(with heads-up runs in effect)
then bb's run each other durring bb round only.
after this is done ,they go back to original qualifying sheet and pull out all losers off the sheet and generate a new ladder with all winners.
this ladder will begin second round after bb round is done .bb round is the only round that will not have heads-up(run off dial-ins). after the bb it is all back to normal...
example you coud have qualified say 10th originally and if the 5th ,7th, an 4th lost then you would move up 3 spots on ladder. bb round is random pairing with no heads up in the bb round to keep someone from chasing another driver up...It worked very well and did not here any complaints from that system.So qualifying is important in this race.
after bb round is over a new ladder will be made (from original qualifying sheet) and you may have a heads-up in that ladder and it will be a heads-up ....i hope i explained it good enough to understand if not i will try to answer any questions if i can...see y'all there and good luck to everyone.

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)

Re: VMP World Finals Roll Call (IHRA)
