PDRA Mid-Atlantic Showdown - Event Update
Tuesday, May 19 at 11am EST
It is obvious that we have a weather front coming our direction for this weekend's PDRA Mid-Atlantic Showdown at Virginia Motorsports Park. We are going to put our best foot forward and push forward at this time. By doing so, we are making a number of schedule adjustments now based off the original run schedule.
Pre-Race Testing will open the event on Thursday with two runs for all categories/groups. After that is completed, estimated around the 2:15pm mark, we will prepare the racetrack for an estimated 3pm start time with round one of qualifying for all categories, including juniors, but they will be last in the run order to allow for them to get out of school and get to the racetrack. This is the largest change of all, everything else advances with the above adjustment that you can see in the photos above.
This will be a weekend that "schedule subject to change" will more than likely come into effect a few times but we are going to put our best foot forward for the racers, teams, fans and everyone else involved. Hourly weather patterns change nearly every hour, at this point, we are moving forward and looking forward to the third race on tour this season.
