Sometimes mother nature just ruins a good drag race. Such was the case with the Brian Olson Memorial PDRA World Finals presented by ProCharger at Virginia Motorsports Park. Steady rain began after round 2 on Sunday and lasted through Monday forcing the cancellation. Those few season championships not already determined were then based on last points earned.
