Re: "Live" from Rockingham Div.2 LODRS 2015
Does Div 2 typically have low car counts? DRC only shows 25 SS cars?

Generally speaking they pull around the same numbers (or a bit higher) as D5 and D6. The Rockingham numbers though seem really low for what was expected. They didn't pull many .90 racers either.

I don't recall seeing an NHRA race with so few cars. Didn't know if the track was that unpopular, or what?

Seems strange, but when they had it a Charlotte couple of years ago it was the same thing-low car count. I think they gave us 4 or 5 time trials then because of the low car count. I guess between 'crate motor' cars and mostly 1/8 mile tracks around here, there just is not enough interest.

Re: "Live" from Rockingham Div.2 LODRS 2015
When they had it at Charlotte there was a hurricane on the coast the same weekend. The real thing is that most D2 guys live way down south and won't travel this far unless they are really chasing points. Same thing for D1, they hardly show up to Dinwiddie so they certainly are not going another 3-4 hours to Rockingham. Another reason is it's not a real good facility, not even close.

Re: "Live" from Rockingham Div.2 LODRS 2015
I think with Maple Grove being last weekend (537 Cars) and E-Town next weekend (All full except for Super Gas) a lot of racers are going to stay close to home, The Rock needs to be one of those before or after Charlotte races kinda like how VMP was the weekend before Charlotte before this season so racers could just shoot to Charlotte after VMP. If you can work with the racers and make it a favorable trip for two weekends of racing they will show up.
