Shock at the Rock.....time really goes by fast

They had a good turnout!

I ran there. Didn't notice it being that bad, but I also had my camper so maybe Imissed something. Track was good for me. Beer was cold. Scales seemed right. Visited with Steve for a while. Good old memories. He was happy with the turnout, and had free spectator entries for Sat and Sunday.

I was there this past weekend for my first visit to Rockingham. The track itself was good. Some of the asphalt in the pits was in really good shape, other parts of it was really rough.

The only "black" cloud for me this past weekend was the "tree". After running our last qualifer Saturday morning, they announced that the tree was being put back to the way it was on Friday. I'm not sure what was changed or even why it was changed? It kind of cast some uncertainty going into Round 1.

This was my first time to Rockingham! I thought that the track was very nice! The traction was great all weekend and the scales were "dead on". I would go back! It would have been even nicer, if I had got there earlier and been pitted on the blacktop!

I would like to see the water box resurfaced, the ruts are real deep causing a little extra wear on the on the edge of rubber.

Larry you know you need extra large

The place could definitely use a little sprucing up and it wouldn't take alot. The secondary pit roads are terrible with lots of roots growing through the asphalt or bad potholes in other places.
The restrooms could use a pressure washer or a firebomb whichever is cheaper.
The racing surface was redone a couple years ago and is very nice other than the ruts in the water box like Mr Larry said.
I wasn't racing as I had loaned my car to another racer who was trying to hold his division lead so the only trouble I had with a tree was the blocking my satellite reception. I've got to work on Uncle Si's choice of pit areas if I'm going to let him start driving my rig around!
All in all it was a great weekend, great weather, very good racing and a very nice turnout. There was good beverages to since I wasn't racing, I'm considering just becoming a car owner/reporter. Got lots of work to do this winter February will be here before we know it, see you all then!
