Yes, it's the PDRA World Finals, and it's this weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park, near Petersburg. It's a long haul for Paul and the Beast, and the team will be heading out Thursday. There will be three qualifying rounds Friday and one more Saturday morning, four shots to try to get the new drivetrain dialed in..
As this is a PDRA event, it will be live-streamed so you can watch the action wherever you are.Paul's class, Pro Boost, is scheduled to follow Outlaw 10.5, so if you tune in and see Outlaw 10.5 cars running, you'll know the Beast will be up soon. The message board at www.promodifieds.usually has the links to the streaming and to Drag Race Central, which breaks down each round of qualifying.
Paul is excited to hit the track again, as his new engine makes the Beast an entirely different animal. Paul had to come up with a work-around to get the car to start, as his starter couldn't crank the new engine because of its higher compression.
Paul had planned to race last weekend at Darlington, S.C., in the Carolina Xtreme Pro Mods series, but ran out of time. He said the crew finished everything on the car about two hours before they would have to leave for the track. Everyone was already worn out at that point, so Paul decided to stay home.
There is potentially one more race before the season ends, at Shadyside in November.
Check the promodifieds.us message board for links to race coverage. I've had pretty good luck catching the Beast on live streaming. Be fast and safe, everyone.
