Default "Live From" Virginia Motorsports Park DIV 1-1

Hello everyone, I'm here on Thursday for test and tune from the Div 1 opener at Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, VA.

Here are a few shots at the gate coming in this morning. I also caught some Stock and Super Stockers in the lanes for the test and tune. Its very warm today, temp is 85 and the DA is around 3000ft.

I have in car cam and pit cam today from Thomas Sundstrom, he races stock over in Sweden. He runs a B/S 68 Mustang, and will be running about 5 races over here this year. Talk about being a diehard class racer.

I will have them uploaded later today. The pit cam will be something new, I will pick a car at every race I go to. I will need to practice a bit, its hard to keep the cam steady, so bare with me.

Be back later.

The first video is a short pit cam of Thomas's 68 Mustang B/S. The second video is Thomas going through the gears on one of his test runs.

I thought 68 Mustangs had rear side marker lights. Cool video.

Larry you are correct, but I think the car being from Sweden and all, we can over look it. Besides it was not mandatory to have side maker lights in Sweden in 1968.

Tomorrow we start at 8:30 with qualifying, this is a two day race if the weather holds out. They call for scatter showers in the morning and a stray shower in the afternoon, so we could have a late start.

This weekend will be important for the Jegs Allstar race. In stock, we have 4 guys fight for the lead. Dave has the lead, the but all four contenders are here this weekend.

David Ficacci
Donnie Carrol
Joe Lisa
Donald Pires

In Super Stock, there are three contenders and all are here fighting for the lead with Kent in the lead.

Kent Hanley
Joseph Santangelo II
Joe Lisa

Good morning all, its raining at the moment and we will surely be having a late start today. The rain is supposed to clear out by noon, with just chance of rain later today. The rest of the weekend looks to be very nice.

More later....

'68 was first year of side marker lights in U.S. I believe. May not have been required on "export" models?
