"Live From" The Rock... LODRS D2

[Ken Miele]

Hey guys, we are at the Rock... Rockingham Dragway, D2's last race of the year. The weather outlook looks great, a little on the cool side at night, but no rain in sight. I will be back tomorrow with a ride through the pits along with photos.

Was planning to make the race this weekend but the hurricane down here put a monkey wrench in that plan. I missed a whole week of work the week of the hurricane. No power that week from Wednesday to Sunday. Just couldn't take the days off for the travel. Good luck to all the racers.

Any guess as the number of stock and super stock.

[Ken Miele]

I couldn't tell you. There was a good amount of Stock and Super Stock cars testing. The video will give you an idea, but this was made early in the day, and a lots more rigs rolled in later.

Ok folks, another video, this time we are in Chris Whitney's 1967 427 A/S Fairlane. Sorry for the in car sound, for some reason the mic could not handle the upper rpms. Nothing is wrong with Chris's car, it s just the mic.

Its nice to see D7 cars on the east coast, Chris now lives in North Carolina, but Robert Pond in his 66 427 Fairlane and Scott Hilton driving Chris's other 427 Fairlane which is a 66, are from California.

I talked to all three gentlemen, and they tell me they are headed to Maple Grove next week to battle for the A/S title.

I"ll guess 85 stocks. 70 super stocks.

Good chilly morning everyone... Dam its cold, as I type the temp is 43. Weather forecast says it will warm up to 69 with sun all day. I will post weather numbers below. Stock will be out after Super Street starting a 9am. I would guess that would be around 9:30, so the air will change a bit when Stock is running.

The reason I'm mentioning this is, its quick, really quick here. I'm sure many of you want to know what the weather numbers will be when Stock runs. So here are the weather numbers now and I will post Q1 numbers later.

Temp 43
Humid 79%
Bar 29.95
DA -565
Water Grains 32
Wind calm

Q1 for Stock just finished up. As soon as the post qualifying, I will post here. Weather numbers below for Q1. Many cars lifted and the starting line seem to be in good shape, but there were a hand full of cars that spun. This is not an exact count, but I'm thinking the low 80's for Stock.

I'll be back later folks..

Temp 58
Humid 49%
Bar 29.97
DA 335
Water 35
Wind light cross

Is there any live streaming or live timing of this event?

Thanks again for all you do Ken. Have a great weekend at The Rock.

I do have a question - Does Chris Whitney still have the wagon?? Nothing against the other cars, but always loved the wagon.
