Live from the Dinwiddie, VA - NHRA Virginia Nationals

Thanks Bob,

Well the dreaded rains came in early this morning. No rain now and the sun is trying to peak out. The forecast is for a 50% chance of rain today. They are drying the track now and Stock is supposed to be first out for eliminations.

The weather looks great for tomorrow, and with the low car counts, I think there should be no problem getting this race finished on sunday

Update, they called us to the lanes about 9 am. They were still working on the track. The right lane was not holding any rubber down. I guess the early rain was enough to screw things up. Just as they finished working on the track 3 hours later, it started to rain. About a 1/3 of the cars went back to their trailers as did I. I would have stayed, but its time for lunch.

Light rain and still on hold.
