Re: Live from THE ROCK
Another sunny humid day greets us in Rockingham, NC as we begin eliminations today. The wind will also play a factor, as it has gone from hit n' miss cross-headwind to more steady and stronger...
Air at the end of Rnd 1... 85.5 F, 67%, 29.51, 3038' DA Decent turnout, think I heard around 270-280 cars... Half as many now, as Hot Rod is rolling to the lanes for Rnd 2!

Re: Live from THE ROCK
Barometer has dropped a couple hundredths in a short time, and we're getting a couple gusts on top of the existing wind. There's talk of weather this afternoon, so we 're trying to hustle right along. Almsot done with all of Rnd 2. Should be back to the top of the order shortly.

Re: Live from THE ROCK
Man! Rough crowd! In the 1/4's, I was .003 dead-on 1, Emily Stott-Volkman was .010 dead-on zero, and Mike Boyles was .000 dead-on 1! Emily proceeded to go .000 against a red-lighting Jake Sealey, and I survived a tough race with Boyles to set up a final round match with Emily and I. We were suiting up when the rumble and lightning hit (down the road). They unplugged everything, then you could see the rain coming up the track. I think we've just got SS and SR finals left to run. It's just a little cell, but it's really windy and coming down hard. Can't imagine drying for two pairs... Maybe finish at Darlington in 2 weeks? Dunno, haven't heard yet.
Mmm! More buckets of rain....! Couple big rumbles, too. Congrats to stock semi Charles Myers. Finalist's Terry Taylor and Marvin Strickland
