"Live From" VMP D1 LODRS 2023

Ken Miele · 09-28-2023, 06:35 AM

Hey guys,

We made it here to Virginia Motorsports Park on Wednesday. The final D1 LODRS race of the season. Weather is supposed to be nice. partly sunny with temps in the low 70's. We did run into a few muppets on the this trip, but it was a good trip for most of the way.

I will be back later with a ride through pits along with some photos. There is a test and tune today from 12 to 6. There is a slight chance of rain tonight, but it should not be an issue for the test and tune.

Hey guys, we just got the last call for testing... a good day if you needed a lot of track time. Mostly cloudy, but no rain. Photos from the pits and a few action shots from todays testing.

Sterling Simons is out in force with 3 cars for this race. The next 4 photos are Arthur Morris in his C/SA Trans Am... super clean car.

Hi gang - Today was reserved for test n tune only -started at 12 and will end in a half hour .I must say the track was killer - I hooked hard everytime .

Weather mid-day - temp 75 ,60 % humidity,29.91 barometer ,DA -1856.

Entries today were light - we'll see what tomorrow brings - plenty of great pit space left .

If anyone needs some VP C12 I have three extra pails with me .$95 each or 3 for $270.

Good morning - Welcome to day 1 at VMP .Rigs are rolling in at this minute but still plenty of pit space .It's 7:50 as I type this and it's almost dark out - not a good sign at all - it's not raining or misting and doesn't feel bad - just kinda weird out .We are to start at 8:30 I thought but no one is out parading ..........we'll see .Later ...it's time for pancakes ! !

Super Street has just been called to the lanes. We were supposed to start at 8:30 but there was a slight mist in the air, and the track surface was not to the liking of track crew. They have been working on the track for 2 hours and it looks like we will be racing soon. Its still cloudy out and the weather numbers have not changed much, temp is up 3 to 66.

Stock Q1, I will have Super Stock up as soon as they post it.
