Live from Dinwidde,VA -NHRA Lucas Oil double
Morning gang - After an uneventful cruise down 95 we got here at dinnertime and set up camp after picking out a nice pit spot .Not nearly as many racers here as one would think considering the double deal .
So much for nice as most of the evening and night were spent hearing the pitter patter on the roof .Much worse is that that light sound has turned into coming down in buckets .But cars are rolling in as its supposed to clear up and move out later today . As always please remember - I'm just the messenger ! ! ! ! |
Re: Live from Dinwidde,VA -NHRA Lucas Oil double
Good news for a change -rain quit before noon and the Sun is shining .The place is drying out nicely but for some reason they called the test n tune for today .
I suspect the crack D1 Safari crew will have some heavy work to do to get the place clean and dry for tomorrow morning. Later ......... |

Re: Live from Dinwidde,VA -NHRA Lucas Oil double
Always wanted to race at Dinwidde but it would be a little bit of a trip to get there from Seattle. Started my racing at the old Richmond dragstrip in 1975 with my new 1975 Pinto and other friends for our first trip down the track. Went to high school in Prince George (outside of Petersburg). That is where the hook was set.
Everyone have a safe race and thank you for the reporting. |
Re: Live from Dinwidde,VA -NHRA Lucas Oil double

What's up with that? Scott Gove, AA/SA, 60ft - 1.273! WOW! |

A/SA heads up first round. Ford vs Chevy. A pair of sub 9.80 runs would be good! It may take it to win.

Good morning members and guests - Stock got their one and only qualifier this morning and later in the day they will have round one .As you will see even though its fast here its not a mineshaft race .

Re: Live from Dinwidde,VA -NHRA Lucas Oil double
I have a question to ask I saw a Pontiac firebird in stock at this race it not that fast but doesn’t the rule book state that you must have the car painted in order to compete in the class

Re: Live from Dinwidde,VA -NHRA Lucas Oil double
Good morning everyone, sorry for the lack of reports. I had a issue with the race car and tried to get it fixed for first round, but had no luck getting it done in time.
Yesterday we got one round in for most the classes, today we will start out with Super Street at 10am. The weather for to day, perfect. I will probably be heading out soon, live timing will be the place to go for todays results. Its been a hectic weekend of racing, I was told we had 500 plus race cars here at Virginia Motorsports Park. My next race should be Bristol, see you all then. |
