"Live" from The Rock!

HR9121 · 10-15-2020, 10:13 PM

It hardly seems that this should be the final race of the year but here we are. First off this weekend we start the LODRS race tomorrow with qualifying and eliminations to follow on Saturday. Sunday will be the National Open race. According to the schedule we get 3 qualifying runs tomorrow but it wouldn't be Rockingham without a little weather. Sometime in the early morning a cold front is supposed to come across bringing a little rain with it although it doesn't look like a washout by no means. The forecast is only calling for scattered showers overnight followed by much of the same for the first part of the day tomorrow. Temps will be much cooler after the front passes so it appears that it will be pretty fast this weekend.
I'll have more tomorrow and will post sheets as they come available. There appears to be alot of cars here but I haven't been out looking a whole lot yet but I assume there will be some of the D1 crowd here as well as maybe some D3 trying to get those last few valuable points in.

will there be a link to live feed?

Keith I'm not sure, I know Warren is in Las Vegas so I don't know if he will have someone here or not. As soon as I hear something I will let you know.

Unfortunately, I will not have anyone down there for the event. I have a couple of people that help me but both were unavailable. Sorry I could not get anyone in place to take care of it, because I really wanted to be part of that race - it has very important points implications in D2 and nationally as well. Good luck to everyone down there. I hope it's a great weekend for all involved.

Good morning, at about the time this morning you would expect to hear cars warming up this morning it started to lightly rain. There hasn't been any heavy rain and a look at the radar shows it will be out of here quickly. Maybe 2 runs instead of 3 but the day will not be completely lost. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the update James. If you get a chance any number for car counts?

Hey Butch I really have no idea right now as most are still locked away but as soon as I get an idea I will post. It's finally starting to clear a little but the air is damp and cool. Track drying started about 15 minutes ago but with the cool temperatures it will be an uphill battle.

Be careful. Stockers have been known to crash at that place......
