CCPS at "THE ROCK"
Just wanted to put my $0.02 worth in about the CCPS race at Rockingham. With gas prices getting ever higher, this is a very economical way to get seat time. My brother (Captain Who) and I regularly run the series and it allows BOTH of us to get seat time for ONE entry fee. Doug normally practices the car, I qualify and take the first stint, then Doug finishes. Both of us get around 40 minutes of seat time for half an entry fee!
Also, I love the Rockingham course. It rewards proper line choice, slow in-fast out, and late braking. It punishes banzai driving (anyone see the silver/gray Civic last year?), allows for side-by-side racing, and has more than one passing area. As a bonus when I was last there in March of 07, we were on a first-come, first-served basis with the garages. Yep, you heard me right. Many of us got FREE covered garage space!
Oh, and as a final note, the workers (and stewards.........thanks Mike Pressley) are particularly adept at putting out fires in the pits!! (ask Steve Eckerich about his new "whack-a-mole" game).
