Is anyone heading to Rockingham tomorrow for the USAR Hooter's Pro Cup American 200?
If so we can hook up at the Rock, literally at the big Rock that sits in front of the ticket booth.

PRP, what'd ya think of the race? I enjoyed it and the 66 and 81 put on a good show for us. Seen that flip on the back stretch, that doesn't happen much at the Rock. Ironically Carl Long barrel rolled there in the last nascar race I attended at the Rock and he was racing there today.
Boy I really had a good time Saturday Afternoon at the ROCK , yes that was a pretty nasty flip down the backstretch and yes I thought about that flip that Cal Long took in 2004 , Andy Hillenberg is a class act Period I had breakfast with him and also met Danny "THE DUDE" Lasaski , there were many things at stake in the event The Championship & Rookie Of The Year and other points battles to go along with about a two hour Victory Lane after the race with Clay Rogers & Benny Gordon coming to V-L with flat left rear tires after their Burn-Outs !!!

I spoke with a rep from the Rock at the Occoneechee show last Sept and put a bug in his ear about having a vintage show at Rockingham. Told him how successful the Darlington show was and he seemed pretty anxious to take it to Mr. Hillenburg. Since Vintage Oval Racing Magazine sponsored the show and practically ran the event it would make it really easy to host a vintage race show there. Now that PRP is rubbing elbows with Andy Hillenburg....hmmm?

I was there. The race SUCKED for us. LOL. I was with the 68 car. We had battery problems. I knew I should have stayed at Lowes. As soon as it was over I went back to Charlotte though.

I offered to help sponsor nest year at Darlington when we where there. I can drop a line to them and see what is up. My wife and I own www.leatherique.com (http://www.leatherique.com) so you know who we are.
That would be fun what we need is a "SHOW" circuit for the vintage cars on the east coast
IMHO if we could team up with a vintage car auction and or show on the same weekend then the promoter MIGHT have a shot at breaking even..

I hear it's being built to specks of Martinsville for cup testing. Correct me if you know something else.

Yeah, it's a test track. Martinsville clone.I think several cups teams tested there before Martinsville.

What Slim said.... exact duplicate of Martinsville.... and testing has already been happening... all i can say is don't spin out in the middle of turn s...???? ok the east turn.. 3 & 4 of the big oval....no wall yet.. and HUGE drop off....lol...
There are rumors of maybe in the future of a couple races on it.... till then.. it has a smaller bull ring in the infield for Legend car races....which will happen next year....

Yeah I guess you could say its a rush. You just hope you dont f_c_ up. LOL. I've done pretty good though. My worst event was at Southern National. My tire carrier kept missing the studs and he thought he had it up there and would run back around the car. I have enjyed it.

You ain't made nobody do nothing! And thanks for the memories of tim and tate! Good ole days back then! Didn't cost one dime for me to race! TRC chassic's,TRC tires,and met tate thru tim,and was given a few motors because of that!!! While you were spending all kinds of money (to run last). Me,james ward,billy fisher,curtis quick,etc. always talked bout that! I've got the ole news letters that fisher always printed up about the races and there's your name always at the bottom!!!!! But,we needed somebody to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
