8th Annual Old Dominion FFW Nationals
June 23, 24 & 25, 2006

The beautiful Virginia countryside is the home of the Old Dominion FFW event #5 on the tour. Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie (just outside of Richmond) has seen some fast runs during the FFW races in the past and this year will be no exception. You don't need to be an old Confederate General to appreciate the significance of the rich heritage of the Richmond area. Famous Civil War battle fields are all around VMP. But that war is over.

CVMC will be helping MCA and FFW with their show on Saturday & Sunday so I hope to see many of you there!!!

 

i will be there saturday and entering the show

 

Great!!!!

Look forward to seeing you there

 

Hi Tony - A bunch of the Lynchburg crew will be making a trip down, see you there

 

I'll be there on Saturday

- Jesse

 

It will be good to see you again Ed! I promise you will not be put in the south 40 like at the MCA NAtional!

Look forward to seeing you there also Jesse

 

Gee Tony - you mean I won't need a visa. Looking forward to it! Ed

 

hmmmm, can i get priority seating too

 

You had to be at the MCA National to know what I was talking about.

Imagine the entire car show to your right and all of the 05 & 06 Mustangs to your left across the road.

Ed knows what I mean!

At least at the FFW you will ALL be parked in the same area

 

got it. question tho, we allowed to bring anything for shade other than umbrella at the car show area.

 

I don't know their rules on that matter but a good rule of thumb is. If you have a tent and the wind gets up all of a sudden you run a chance of your tent blowing on someone else's car.

It's not a good idea.

At the CVMC fall show we don't allow pop-up tents in the show field.

 

makes sense

 

Hi, Tony. Hi, Ed. I'm coming up for the weekend but bringing the Lightning this trip. Do you know if the show area is grass or pavement? Also, what's the latest weather update for the Petersburg area? Thanks and looking foward to a great FFW!

 

The show area was on pavement last year. I believe it will be in the same place this year.

They are calling for afternoon thunderstorms!

Hope to see you there!

 

Thanks for info, heading up later this morning.

 

Looking to see you there! Just checked the weather website. 40% chance of showers and 75% overcast all day. Of course, there have been thunderstorms all around us today and we have not had a drop.

 

Ed, sorry you didn't make it. It rained Friday evening & night but had ended by morning. Saturday was dry and Sunday good at least until we left around 3:00 PM. The car show was typical Fun Ford but the race was very disappointing.

Pro 5.0 consisted of four Pro Stock cars and a twin-turboed mid-eighties T-Bird. Only one REAL Pro 5.0 racer showed but must have broke on Friday, as was MIA on Sat. There were just four Outlaw cars at the start of the Sunday race. All in all, not worth the trip. FFW needs to fix this! I can watch Mustangs bracket race at my local strip anytime.

 

Sorry you didn't make it Ed!

I agree with ya Rick the show was a Typical FFW Show. We had to operate by their rules

I also agree that they didn't have (you know what) for racing

I do feel really sorry for that guy who wrecked his 2006 Mustang. Imagine what he had to tell his wife!

 

Last year's event was bigger than this year's. They had more vendors/tuners/concessions/race entries etc. A little disappointing for a FFW event.

 

Hopefully next year will be better!
