I looked at the National & Divisional races left that both Slate & Ryan could claim points at. Slate has 4 National races already and Ryan has 4 National too.
You can only claim 5 National races correct ??
So either racer can only claim 1 more National, is that right ??

Let’s hope our Division 2 Director reads and hears all the issues with Rockingham before we have another D2 points race there. It doesn't matter if it's NHRA or IHRA nothing has been changed or updated in years. Let's go back to Bristol, Silver Dollar or stay at Zmax after National Event but NOT Rockingham.

I doubt that will happen. Did you notice the car counts at Rockingham? 88 stockers and 74 Super stock cars. That was the second largest car count this year in D 2 only second to the "baby Gators". So it is a popular destination. Granted the place could use a bit of work but in my opinion it is a better facility than Reynolds. Personally I like going there.

Deserved or not Rockingham has the reputation for being “the Rink” so I’m doubtful the attendance will be as good next year. You can judge for yourself by watching the class runs on Warren’s YouTube channel. That said I think attendance was boosted this year by how close some of the National and D1/D2 points chases were. In any case since Bruton doesn’t seem inclined to host Divisionals Reynolds is the only other option. But if Galot succeeded in facilitating a 1/4 track then you’d see a phenomenal turnout there. Gainesville is probably too far south to draw big but I’d much prefer there even if it meant hosting 2 Division races there (already done in other divisions).

Make no mistake about it the only reason the car counts were this good is because it is the last division points claim in the entire east. Put it any where else on the schedule and you would see what most people think of the place. Other than resurfacing of the track I can't think of anything that has been done there in the last 20 or so years. When they were grinding the track a couple years ago they should've used that thing to grind the roots growing in the pit roads.
