Re: Richmond Dragway....
If you have a really fast car, Richmond is not the place to run. As stated previously the shut down lane is too short, and it ends in the woods at a bluff. The track is not as well maintained and has it's bumps and so on. BUT, if you are running 12's or slower it's the perfect track. It's cheap, you can get in a bunch of runs, and the tech inspection is very relaxed vs. VMS, who has to go by the IHRA rulebook. Richmond looks for a radiator overflow, a snell helmet, and that's about it. I have friends that go either direction with Richmond vs. VMS, some prefer Richmond, some can't hook and run too fast to run the 1/4 mile at Richmond.

werd, all my junk is 12 sec. slow but I like running at richmond because with all the smack talk and betting it's semi close to street racing...."not that there's anything wrong with that"
