HAMLET’S TREY
SIKES AMONG
FAVORITES IN
ROCKINGHAM
DIESEL DRAGS
National Diesel
Hot Rod
Association
point leader
Trey Sikes tries
to leverage his
“home field
advantage” this
week when he
defends his
Sportsman event
title in the
NDHRA Carolina
Nationals at
Rockingham
Dragway.
Sikes, who lives
just a couple
miles from the
track in Hamlet,
N.C., is hoping
to lock up his
first national
championship at
the wheel of his
2010 Volkswagen
Jetta station
wagon.
In addition to
drag racing
action in six
different NDHRA
classes, the
event also will
include a full
complement of
sled pulling
events, a
burnout contest
and a Show ‘N
Shine
competition for
diesel cars and
trucks.
Quickest and
fastest of the
diesel-powered
vehicles is the
dragster of
Jared Jones of
Terre Haute,
Ind., which has
covered the
quarter mile
course in an
NDHRA record
6.466 seconds at
225.30 miles per
hour.
Other point
leaders hoping
to clinch at The
Rock include
Jones in Top
Diesel, Ryan
“The Hard Way”
Milliken of
Navarre, Fla.,
with Dodge Ram
trucks in both
Pro Stock and
Super Street,
Jarid “the Iron
Man” Vollmer of
Chubbuck, Idaho,
in Pro Street
and Ryan Dubois
of Boise, Idaho
in Super Diesel.
Gates open at 9
a.m. and the
drag racing
portion of the
program begins
at 10. Sled
pulling will
follow the drag
races at 5 p.m.
with competition
in three NDHRA
classes and
eight CTTPA
(Crossville
Truck and
Tractor Pulling
Association)
categories
including Outlaw
Gas, Hot Farm
Tractor, Hot
Street Diesel,
Work Stock, Open
4X4 and Enhanced
Gas.
Admission for
the double
program is $25
for adults and
$10 for children
six to 12.
Children under
six are admitted
free with a
ticket adult.

ROBERTS,
PASCHAL CLAIM
$20,000 WINS AT
ROCKINGHAM DRAGWAY

Benson’s William
Roberts used a
.017 package to
get past
Sparta’s Robbie
Joines by .02 of
a second in the
final round
Sunday and claim
the second of
the $20,000
winner’s shares
in the Bracket
Racers
Independence Day
event at Steve
Earwood’s
Rockingham
Dragway.
Roberts and T.G.
Paschal of
Pleasant Garden
were the big
winners in a
weekend event
that recalled
the big money
bracket races of
the 1990s when
Rockingham owner
Steve Earwood
and “Big Daddy”
George Howard
teamed up to
produce the
Racers
Appreciation
Bracket Series
and the Million
Dollar Drag
Race.

SMOKE
OUT BIKE RALLY HUGE
SUCCESS AT
ROCKINGHAM DRAGWAY
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
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.
