Live from Richmond , VA - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Yeah - yeah , I know - where have you been ? Well , gang - here's the thing , its finally here - the NHRA Division One opener in Richmond ,VA .But it comes with strings , we wanted another points meet and we wanted Richmond back in the NHRA fold so now its about the long hike here . Yes , I'm aware that to some of you this this kind of ride is no big deal but to us in D1 its quite a ride -- can you tell we're spoiled ? ?
Test n tune is going on as I type - I'll dig up some dirt and get back ...........

Ouch -- Earlier today during the tent n tune a few broke - Jim Boudreau in his "Goldigger" 69 Camaro B/SA dropped a valve and headed home .Mark Markow with his sharp SS/ Truck broke a lash cap but was able to contain the damage and made the necessary repairs so he can continue onto eliminations .
Test n tune is finished for the day ....... For those of you needing fuel - Chubby's @ RT460 & I-85 has the best prices - and their cash or credit .

Re: Live from Richmond , VA - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
thought I found a gift today, found diesel @ $ 4.21 in So. Cal.!
that means $14 dollar savings for 40 gallons with the comparable prices, most spend more than that on a lunch??
