Richmond Dragway

All I can say is What A Race! it was another Great Show for The Powerglide Promods at Richmond Dragway. We had 3 new members sign up at Richmond which brings our total membership to 56. Out of those 56 members we had 21 of them At Richmond Dragway and all I can say is we had some of the closest side by side racing action we've seen all season. We had 7 pair of cars that were separated by .05 or less in eliminations. New Comer Joe Smith from Hague Va. was the #1 qualifier at a 4.386 with his Chevy Powered All Motor Dodge Avenger. David Campbell aid down the fastest pass of the event a 4.342 @ 164.47. eventual Winner Nick Cline and his Dad Mike finally got their 38 Chevy running strong Nick ran 4.40's all day on the way to the finals against Topsportsman stand out and home town hero Don Rudd. I Think that is enough small talk let's get to the action.
