Re: "Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals
Super Stock is almost done with their last qualifier. We had two oil downs in Stock, but we are still on schedule. Super Gas will follow Super Stock for their last time shot and the sportsman will be done for the day.
Its in the upper 80's now and cars slowed as mush as a 10th from the early shot to the last shot today. As you can see from the photos, Gary Richard's crew is busy changing engines after he broke on his 2nd qualifier. The engine let go in the light's putting a little oil on the track. Chester Houghtaling also put some oil on the track, but I don't know if it was catastrophic. I will be back later with lost's of photos after I get done editing. |

Re: "Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals
So if you're here and riding around the pits you may have noticed that my trailer looks like its been mud bogging. My crew man followed Richie Decola and Greg Rowe here to the track on the way here. Somewhere along the way someone decided there was a short cut to get here which turned out to be a very narrow secondary road with lots of traffic and deep ditches really close to the road. The rest is history......

Re: "Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals
My very cool car of the weekend award goes to Chester Houghtaling and his O/SA '65 Chevelle wagon. This car is way up on the cool meter, he did have some problems today and there was lots of smoke and oil on the track, hopefully it wasn't catastrophic and he is able to continue this weekend.
