Is there a hotel that THSCC prefers/uses while in Rockingham?

Having stayed in Rockingham last year, I think the answer would be "none."

If I spend the night this year, I'll really consider paying a premium and heading back to Southern Pines/Aberdeen.

I agree with Scott on this. The selection of places in Rockingham is slim and none. Actually, Rockingham is little or no further than Laurinburg. I am not sure if there is a real reason to stay overnight, if you would not for Laurinburg.

Add to the fact that the Rockingham site will lend itself more to a real autocross course, you should be able to get a bunch of course walks in.

I'm working on this as we speak. More info soon...

And that would be what? An MR2 course? :shock:

Unless that sealer stuff was removed on the lot next to the grandstand it will be like driving on glass anyway. :roll:

Every course is an MR2 course...because it is a sports car. I would rather drive on glass than gravel.

Last year I did not find any where that is was real greasy. No more than the RBC site. And I was on 6 month old Hoosiers with 50 plus runs on them. And if those things are not slick, then nothing is. :shock:

I agree with Jim, after the morning runs, I found that there was plenty of grip. That was also with OLD, OLD Hoosiers.

Amy - see the post about the drag races for hotel info. I'm going to start another "official" thread about the autocross soon.
