Well we made to the semis again today before the skies opened up. In Stock it was Greg Rowe on the bye and Jack Zimmerman vs Rich Davis in the other semi. I'm not positive who was left in SS so with the chance of being wrong I'll just let someone else post that. I believe the plan is to finish those left at the Galot race later in the year so that's a wrap on Rockingham peace out.

By the looks of the nice pictures it could not have been too bad!

Honestly guys I didn't have a problem and I would say there was not a problem for 95 percent of the racers. I'm not saying it was great and I by no means have a high horsepower car. I saw a few times when there would be 2 or 3 in a row that were having an issue and I think they were trying to stay on top of it. The track staff worked on it in the very early hours of Sunday morning and I didn't see any issues Sunday. That being said if you have one racer like Joey Warren who couldn't hardly get his SS car down the track Friday that's a problem in my book. I'm sure he felt like he wasted his money this weekend and I know some people will say well it's a small tire car. But the same car doesn't have a problem anywhere else. I just hate to see anyone have a bad experience.
There's other issues at the facility that need attention like the pits. The pit roads are horrible if you watch someone try to drive a dragster around the place avoiding the potholes so they don't rip the nose cone off of it. The bathrooms look the same as they did when I first took a leak in there in the 90's. Maybe I'm spoiled by places like Zmax and Galot but I don't think it would hurt if he spent a little money on the place. The whole experience for me starts with the racing surface but there much more to it than just that. My 2 cents.
