Well, there's Richmond Dragway in Sandston (near the airport) and there's Dinwiddie, or Virginia Motorsports park, or whatever you want to call it. It's in Dinwiddie, a few miles south of Petersburg off I-85, and they used to run the NHRA big dawgs there. They stopped doing it because NHRA wouldn't clean up their mess after events, so no we're stuck with local events on a great freakin' track. IHRA events still run there, though. Richmond dragway is small potatoes with no scoreboards, but they run accutime, and for $15 it's a hell of a way to spend every other Friday night. That is... IF IT DOESN'T RAIN.

Sounds like one ghetto-ass hang out spot. I've never heard of something like that happening at either of those tracks, but if someone tried to do that to one of my buckets there, they'd end up with a few new holes.

Here are both tracks' websites.

I'm crossing my fingers AGAIN for Saturday. NITTO 555R's don't last more than 10000 miles, and I have 10001 on them, so it's not likely to find me at MIR, 75/80, Capitol Raceway, or any of the northern tracks any time soon.

It didn't rain at MIR on Saturday. I heard a rumor that a guy in an un-tuned bone-stock '90 Plymouth Laser ran a 13.37 @ 107.6mph that day on my old turbo (the one I sold him with 55k+ miles on it). At only 15 PSI, too. I ran 19 PSI on it and never broke 99.89mph in the traps. That's adding insult to injury right there. But hey, I'm AWD and a lot heavier.

Oh well... maybe someday I'll get to stretch this car's legs.

Oh yeah... :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
