Weather delays and an incredible car count at the Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA) Brian Olson Memorial World Finals pushed the third qualifying session well into Saturday evening, but the wait was worth it for Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous presented by MoTeC number one qualifier Chris Rini. The New York native ran a career-best 3.694 at 199.26 mph to earn his first low qualifier award with the PDRA.

Also qualifying number one during Saturday’s third and final qualifying session at Virginia Motorsports Park were Brandon Snider in NAS Racing Pro Extreme, John Strickland in GALOT Motorsports Park Pro Boost, Eric McKinney in Drag 965 Pro Extreme Motorcycle, Buddy Perkinson in Ronnie Davis Top Sportsman presented by MagnaFuel, Jody Stroud in Lucas Oil Top Dragster, John Carinci in DiSomma Racing Engines Outlaw 10.5, and John Pluchino in PDRA Extreme Pro Stock.

Eliminations at the PDRA Brian Olson Memorial World Finals at Virginia Motorsports Park are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 23. Tickets are $20, though fans who attended Friday or Saturday will be admitted for $10 with their Friday or Saturday wristband.
