Re: "Live From" Rockingham Dragway D2 LODRS
Thanks guys for the kind words... I'm glad to do the reports, I wish I could be at more races. Live timing is keeping you updated, so I'm heading out soon. I will not be doing the open tomorrow. Although I did not spin, and in the video it does not look like much, but when I get the the 900 ft mark the car moves around more than I like.
This track definitely needs to be improved. The track surface is not consistent. You have to have your car setup soft for sure. The overall facility is nice, we got here late and pitted outside the gate, and had no issues. Concession stand was also good and they sell ice here for $3 a bag. People are friendly, but the track surface needs help. |

How did Matt Lisa lose .15 in 60’ from E5 to E7?

Probably Spun.

Re: "Live From" Rockingham Dragway D2 LODRS
As did many when you look at live timing, some that spun virtually never do either.

Re: "Live From" Rockingham Dragway D2 LODRS
Looks like #1 in SS suffered from something related to traction. If NMCA is going to have an event there, I trust that they will bring their own crew and keep the cheap skates out of the program.

I believe they use Kurt Johnson and his crew. They can handle the job I'll bet.

LOL- first time my car ever spun and went hard left- first Q run. Pretty bad.

Re: "Live From" Rockingham Dragway D2 LODRS
The Rock is one of my favorite tracks. My car was good on every pass. Friday Q runs it didn't vary .01 on all 3 passes. now first round on Saturday after the weather changed my weather station prediction tricked me. picked up .01 in the 60 and all other incrementals picked up similarly. I was dialed down 3 and ran 3 under the dial off the gas and coasting. seems it was about 7-8 faster on saturday. My predict was showing 3-4. The D2 tracks have been very good lately. I cant remember the last race that I had a traction issue.

Re: "Live From" Rockingham Dragway D2 LODRS
The worst track I been on this year every class was having a problem and Sunday was no better just junk. Super Gas cars side way off the stops lucky no one got hurt Rusty Cook in the finial. Matt Lisa starting line problem in the finial just bad.
