March 4th VMP

March 4th is the first test and tune of the 2006 season at Virginia Motorsports Park. It is a saturday and the track open at 10:00am. It would be awsome to see a good DSM turnout and show all those mussle cars and hondas what DSMs can do. Hope to see you there.

Bad news, I was told that the new blacktop at the track has not yet been layed down. I'm going to try to contact the track and find out for sure, but at current the track may not yet be open by the 4th. Until I hear for sure i'm still planning on going though.

It is official, Virginia Motorsports Park will not be open on March 4th as scheduled. Check the website, http://www.virginiamotorsportspk.com/CONSTRUCTION.html for photos of the work being done. If VMP still isn't ready by the 11th I'll be going to Richmond dragstrip on that day for there 1st test and tune of 2006.

I'm just letting everyone know that I am skipping the track and will be attending the GMU meet on the 11th. Check out this thread for more info http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210893 - this sounds like a great event and we should all try to attend and visit the track at a later date.

I guess VMP is still trying to remedy the problem of the underground spring at the 1/8th mile mark. They have done this twice now and still hasnt done any good. That is the main reason why nhra dropped them. Anyway, Richmond opens on the 5th but I dont plan to go untill the week after gmu. Unfortunately, this is a regular race day so you will only get 2-3 time runs before eliminations. I prrefer that over wasting my $ at vmp dealing with all the idiots that dont know how to run the track. And I know from experiece because I have been racing at vmp since they opened. And with a 9sec car, the damp area at the 1/8 is noticeable to say the least.
