Richmond Dragway New Stuff....
Hey all...
Richmond opens this SUNDAY. Next Sat & Sun they are open as well.
Few new things...
Performance Dynamics is going to do a PUMP GAS 93 Octane Drag race this year. You will drive from their shop in Mechanicsville to the track on the fuel they give you.
Also they have a Kumho Street Warriors thing going on this year. I guess it will be similar to NOPI but with more domestics involved instead of just imports. Bass Off, Bikini Contest, Light show all that stuff....
They have a few Wednesday night races as well!

Re: Richmond Dragway New Stuff....
I'm there for the pump gas race 
Was hoping the Kumho thing would be like a heads up street tire series instead of that crap, but I guess you can't ask for too much. Once again, sounds like Richmond Dragway is light years ahead of VMP in giving the local racer what they want.

Re: Richmond Dragway New Stuff....
VMP = one of the best facilities on the East Coast...(the execution leaves a bit to be desired, IMO)
Richmond Dragway = One of the better RUN facilities I've been to yet (even if the track and its left lane gravel pit are semi-decent at best--again IMO). It's always kinda laid back (nothing like relaxing for 30 minutes while a few 16 y/os clean up a spill)
I never feel like a cow at a stock sale being run through the friggin lanes quickly to get more done like I do @ MIR or VMP.
