SUCCESS AT

We hear a
lot about
diversity
these days
and if you
own a race
track you
know
all-to-well
what
diversity
means
pertaining
to keeping
the bills
paid. The
days of
spending
$1,500 on
radio and
drawing
spectators
to a pro
show are
clearly
over, as are
the days
when we
could
survive off
of bracket
races, test
and tune
days and a
sanctioning
body
divisional
race.
Rockingham
Dragway
probably has
the most
varied
schedules in
all of
racing, as
evidenced
this past
weekend as
The Rock
hosted the
annual Smoke
Out Bike
Rally, a
custom bike
show, vendor
midway (over
100 biker
related
vendors),
music, stage
show, mini
bike road
race and
50’s drag
racing with
no starting
lights,
times or win
lights, or
“any of that
high-tech
drag racing
stuff”.

The 50’s
drag racing
technical
portion of
Smoke Out 15
was
described
as“the
cutest girl
in the
shortest
skirt waving
a scarf and
you’re off.
Y’all can
argue about
who won”.
Over 200
attendees
took
advantage of
the
opportunity
to run down
The Rock
legendary
quarter-mile.
Smoke Out 15
attracted
over 15,000
custom bike
fans and
participants.
