Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS 2019
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.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS 2019
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).

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS 2019
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.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS 2019
I think that you are overlooking a primary reason for the good turnout,,,,2 races/grade points in one weekend.
No clue on how my car would hook there, but we need to be able to adjust to conditions, can't imagine it was any worse than a sweltering summer day at the track.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS 2019
Dave,
I watched most if not all of qualifying and round coverage of Stock and saw many cars spin the tires hard including a wagon in the right lane that may have been Lee Tuttle or Madison Wilson, I don't remember which. With that being said, some cars hooked just fine. I guess the groove was very narrow. |
