It was an amazing weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park!
Our first IHRA Nitro race at Virginia Motorsports Park is in the booksโ€”and what a learning experience it was.
Proud of this new team and the work put in all weekend. These photos capture just a piece of the journey.
On to Maple Grove Raceway.

Not the result we were hoping for, but plenty to be proud of.
Our second qualifier was nearly a duplicate of Q1, with the safety system engaging early and shutting the car off. That said, the crew performed flawlessly all weekend and we couldnโ€™t be more proud of this team and the effort behind the scenes.
We didnโ€™t qualify for this race, but this is all part of the journey. Weโ€™ll regroup, learn, and get the car ready for Maple Grove.
