“Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

We left home yesterday for the 635 mile trip to NC! Seems like we were just here last week! Oh yeah, we were!! We stopped in Knoxville last night and had dinner with some friends then got back on the road this morning. We won’t be there til about 4 so anybody who is there, please let us know what is happening there!!

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

I heard the gates weren't opening till 4 today so you should be there right in time guys. Have a safe trip & race!!

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

I should be rolling in there about noon tomorrow. Flying home from Miami in a few hours and then getting in the truck and heading out from Tampa about 7:30 pm tonight. Keep us informed when you arrive there

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

We are in line now!!!

Oh what's 635 miles to seasoned travelers like yourselves?!? Glad you decided to come back and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for the last time this season. Should be alot of fun this weekend with some big point implications for especially our D1 guys. The D1 championship is up for grabs with Joey Santangelo, Bubba Linke and Shane Oakes all trying to claim the Stock title this weekend!
Also the Division 2 Moser Shootout will be run this weekend which is always fun to watch.
Track owner Steve Earwood will be handing out prizes for best costumes and best decorated golf cart for the Halloween celebration.
I've also heard there will be a engagement party with live music for PJ Fours and his new fiance, not sure if he is the live music or not!
All in all looks like a great weekend of fun and our last chance to grab a Wally!!

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Parking tonight until 10! Lots of people here already !!

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Gates were opened a little after 2:30pm.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

It’s going to be fast there this morning. Watch out

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Todd first qualifying run isn't till this afternoon at 3:30. I agree though it will be very fast especially tomorrow morning for Q2, there will be lots of opportunity for someone to screw up! I think I will be utilizing my secret throttle stop I accidentally discovered at Charlotte a couple years ago lol.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

It is a beautiful morning here at the “Rock”. Test and tune is happening now! High for the day is 71. It got down to 40 last night. Not supposed to be quite that cold tonight! Everyone gets one qualifying hit today starting at 3:30 this afternoon with Super Street followed by Stock. It should be a fun weekend!

More later.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Only a handful of cars taking advantage of the track test and tune.
Track is prepped pretty well and the weather is outstanding .
At 2:00pm the weather is a mild 70 degrees ,29.60 baro,36% RH ...Adjusted altitude is 881'with only 39 grains of moisture in the air.
Should still be pretty good by 3:30 when qualifying starts.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Stock Q1 is in the books, the wind was crazy like swirling. I couldn't really get a grasp of the direction. The decision has been made to cut one qualifying run and start eliminations tomorrow afternoon because of possible weather on Sunday. Anyone who comes in tonight will still get 2 runs tomorrow. I got a few pictures at fuel check I will share later and qualifying sheets when available.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

62 stockers made the first run!

I have pictures that I will post later too😊

Thanks James and Patsy for live reports and the pictures. Lots of my favorite people there. Sorry I can't be there this weekend to get pictures of the high flyers off the line. All be same.
Butch

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Butch you could've got some real good action shots in the SS session. There was some real high flying action, the track prep was excellent.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

It is a cool and overcast morning here. It is 55 going up to 70 by this afternoon. Everyone gets one shot today and then we go into the first round of eliminations for everyone and also do the Moser shootout today. It is still calling for rain tomorrow, so we will just have to wait and see!

I took a bunch of pictures yesterday but Photobucket is not being cooperative so I will try to get that figured out.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Round 1 is in the books for Stock. Mrs. Emily beat us and Cooter won a heads up race!!

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2

Sorry it looks like your reporters have checked out. I lost 2cd round to Jeff Longhany but I'm still here and will continue to report in the morning. My buddy Greg Rowe has another heads up in the morning with Brandon Peterson so I will stick around for a couple rounds tomorrow.

Ofcourse she was wanting her Daddy so I packed up and came home. Everything turned out ok so all is well.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Hope everything went well for you and your daughter last night,

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

No.... not correct.
Tyler Bohannon was #1 qualifier with his GT/KA camaro.
The correct qualifying sheet was posted on facebook by someone at the track.

Re: “Live” from Rockingham LODRS Div 2
 

Here is SS sheet, sorry I cut off a couple of the indexes.
