Rockingham Dragwagway is open, and has a Mopar meet in May and OCT.
Rockingham is at ~426', about 125' Lower than Mason-Dixon, but not as low as MIR at Budd's Creek which is about ~45' elevation.I like lower. Thanks for the idea Charrlie! |

Hmmm. Rockingham is a decent idea. Thanks, Charlie. Lou |

Rockingham was the first slant six race I ran in, and my first race in 15 years. My first slant six race was at Atlanta, but I did not have a car with me. Just went to meet some of the racers. |

The Rock is a nice track and good location for running fast. Lou |

I'll be keeping one eye on this thread and one eye on all the things I need to sort out with the Dart. I'm in the Atlanta area and Rockingham looks like it's about a 5 hour drive for me. Not too bad if I can get all the things I need for both a long road trip and to pass a track safety inspection done. |

I'm not holding my breath for IHRA to re-open Atlanta Dragway. While it would be interesting to have some sort of get-together at the Mitty at Road Atlanta, I don't think anyone here has a car that would make sense on track there. Georgia locations would be Brainerd in the north, Silver Dollar in the middle, or South Georgia Motorsports Park at the Florida border, none of which have any events that a slant six meet would be an obvious tie-in, although SGMP is having a NOPI event where they have a six cylinder turbo class with a minimum 2850 lb weight... I'll join in with posting the distances to all the venues under serious discussion: Rockingham, 300 miles, 5hr Clay City 400 miles, 7hr Mason Dixon 620 miles, 10hr Mokan 800 miles, 12hr |
