WestCoastGal says >> I also remember some of the smaller strips had grudge matches where you could take any car out there and race someone. I was fortunate enough to get to do that once, it was a blast.

......... and if you get that "blast" in your blood stream it becomes very expensive "sex" and is usually good for at least 1 trip to "divorce court", lol.

Checked out your FR profile page last night. Big thumbs up on the Jr!

Thanks, my page will have to be completely redone at the end of the season. I have my Infield Parking page half done already. All Amped up so to speak. :)

Here’s a fun website, check the youtube link and the photos.

Thank you everyone for this wonderful and fun thread. My prayers are with the drivers and their families. I am hopeful it will be a grand show for the fans this weekend without incident. I can not wait for my husband to come home tonight from his business travels and tell him about this thread. He will love it!

October 5, 2007 Qualifying

Commentary by JJ - Track
Fri, Oct 10, 2007:
- 3:30 pm: NHRA got the morning rounds of stock qualifying in before rain closed the track. Top Fuel/Funny Car/Top Fuel Harley/Pro Stock/ Round 1 qualifying is delayed. Air humidity has been rising all afternoon and is presently at 71%.
- 5:30 pm: Rain has let up and the NHRA Safety Safari is preparing the track to begin a delayed Round 1 of qualifying. Humidity has continued to climb and is currently at 83%.
- 7:30 pm: Friday's qualifying action has been cut to one pro qualifying session which has started. The missed rained-out session will not be made up.
# Virginia Motorsports Park Weather Conditions:
Time: 7:30 pm ET
Temp: 74 F
Pressure: 30.25 - Rising
Wind: 5 MPH - Stable
Humidity: 91%
Dew Point: 70 F
- 9:30 pm: Rain has held off and qualifying times and speeds in Top Fuel and Pro Stock, but not Funny Car, were very good for weak track and air humidity quality. But the cool air has been a major redeeming factor. ## END
