Chip was Rockingham's track champion. He has not been an IHRA Champion since 1988, or 2001 if you want to count Bracket Finals.

sss may have only made 38 runs but on sun it took them 45 min to announce them,
SSS cars on Sunday.... 1st round started at 12:47 and ended at 12:55. 2nd round 2:14 to 2:22. 3rd round 4:16 to 4:18. Looks like a total of 18 minutes total track time for them all day on Sunday. Maybe they talked about them for longer.

and the sad thing is even if it was a 4 day race with no rain they probably still couldn't finish.
We DID finish the race in four days, with all the rain, oildowns, breakage, and cold. Another car had broken a rear end, a Quick Rod car broke, etc... all things you couldn't control.

At the Spring race, the last Sportsman final round was run at 4:10 pm on Sunday, and we had also run the Summit All-Stars (56 cars total) on Saturday, so yes, it most certainly can be done.

We all wish things had gone better, but it didn't work out that way. The hyperbole is unnecessary.

I'd rather plan on getting a race done in 3 days and only have to be gone an extra day under extenuating circumstances, rather then 'have' to take off an extra day for every single event. That costs *everybody* more money -- racers, staff, tracks, and the sanctioning body.
