This Sunday THSCC will run our first points autocross at Rockingham Dragway. There is currently a wait list for the event, so if you don't plan to come, please unregister! (http://www.thscc.com/prereg.html) Following is some important event information:

THSCC BRACKET DRAG
On Saturday night we will have 2 dedicated lanes for a bracket competition during the regular rockingham "midnight drags" night. Gates open at 6pm, not sure when practice starts/ends and competition begins. Event ends at midnight. $10 to watch, $15 to run. More can be found information here: http://www.rockinghamdragway.com/flyers/2004/msd1/

Cars CAN be left overnight at the dragstrip for people who come down on Saturday. I guess it would be a good idea to park where the pits will be the next day!

HOTELS
Rooms are available at Hampton Inn in Southern Pines on US 1 for the special rate of $59/night. This is about a 20 minute drive to/from Rockingham.

FOOD & AMENITIES
The Rockingham concessions will be open for lunch, which is good since there are no restaurants nearby. They serve "track food" - hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. Restrooms with running water will be available during the event.

Just an FYI, the Hampton is basically full, they had a few handicap access rooms left. I'm at the Holiday Inn down the road, only $7 more per night. Looks like lots of rooms left.

Not really; the lady at the Hampton said that there are >10 discount rate rooms still available for us. (5ish non smoking doubles)
