Live from the Dinwiddie, VA - NHRA Virginia Nationals

Well folks, I'm going to give a shot at "live from" this weekend. As most of you know the car count is low for this race. There is plenty of room to park and no lines at the credential trailer, tech was also very quick.

Stock gets three shot as do all the other classes. Stock is at first out at 9:00 am. The weather is supposed to be warm but the morning shot will be about 65 with a high barometer.

l here some of the cars that run B will be in A, I guess there trying not to get hp. Boudreau, Hawk I here are both in A. Ryan McClanahan is running B.

I took some pictures and hope to get some more tomorrow.

Just got back from first qualifying for stock. Can't give you any numbers, but the air was 1500ft, temp 70, hum 60, and bar 29.78. cross wind about 4. The track was a little slick. More than a few got out of shape.

We Should get three shots today, weather will be good for the day. Its getting warm quick, so I don't think there will be any fast numbers.

Will do Scott, I'm using a camera phone, shots are not that good, but I will do my best later today.

Thanks for the posts. I think Brian is driving the Pontiac. Tell him hi from his biggest fan. I guess you better say hi to Ryan and Gary too.
