"Live From" Virginia Motorsports Park

Super Street and Stock got their first round in before the rain started. Its not heavy rain, but enough to put things on hold. There is another strong cell moving through, but it might miss us. After that, the weather looks good for the rest of the day.

We had some down time this morning from a Stocker hitting the wall. Bruce Noland had a heads up in AA. His car left fine and was going straight. When it came down from the wheelstand it made a hard right and hit the wall. The throttle stayed wide open and he cross the center line and the left wall head on. We are not sure what went wrong, but a racer did see something come of Bruce's Corvette before it made the hard right. Bruce got out of the car and looked to be okay. The car on the other hand looks bad.

We had some down time this morning also from a Stocker hitting the wall. Bruce Noland had a heads up in AA. His car left fine and was going straight. When it came down from the wheel stand it made a hard right and hit the wall. The throttle stayed wide open and he cross the center line and the left wall head on.

Glad Bruce is OK. Cars can be replaced, people not so much.

The cell did not miss us, its raining hard, we will be on hold for a while. The Corvette hit hard, not sure if it can be fixed, what a shame.

I hope that Bruce is OK...

That's one Gorgeous Vette !!!!

Word in the pits is that Bruce has a few cracked ribs and maybe a cracked sternum.
observation for concussion.
Could have been way worse as hard as he hit .

Hate learning of Bruce's mishap. Such a beautiful car! Most importantly, I hope he has a very speedy recovery. Glad to learn he is going to be ok!
