Engine failure while leading NR2002 league race at Rockingham

John Pancoast vented about his engine blowing under caution after leading 65 laps of a NASCAR Racing 2002 league race at Rockingham, questioning Papyrus's claim that there are no random breakdowns. Others shared similar experiences. The thread drifted into trivia about Rockingham and North Wilkesboro and a brief complaint about political quotes being posted.

League race tonight at the Rock, N2002. My favorite track since N1. Take the lead around lap 20. Lead the next 65 laps, when a caution comes out. UNDER YELLOW.......boom, engine goes :( No, wasn't abusing the engine, etc.., etc., etc. Must be some more of that "No random breakdowns" code that doesn't exist :) -John p.s. Though it pissed me off........still pretty cool.......see the same thing during actual racing too.

North Carolina. It's located in Rockingham. -- Fester "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

The same thing happened to me in my league race, but with N4 at Las Vegas (we we running a fixed setup race and the engine wasn't overheating). Out of turn 4, bam!, thick smoke and I was running on 4 cylinders... First time it ever happened to me in that game. John Pancoast wrote:

Close enough. It is called Rockingham, it's mailing address is Sophia and it is located near Hamlet (hence the back stretch 'Hamlet Tower' grandstands). Lovingly called 'The Rock', North Carolina Speedway (an ISC track) is really old, has an abrasive surface and is actually pretty fun to run. The track, though cited as being in Rockingham, is nearly halfway between Southern Pines and Rockingham NC off US HWY 1, both very small towns. Located across the street (literally) is a nice drag strip, also referred to as 'The Rock' by straight-liner fans. Home of the Winston Invitational until Bruton Smith bought Bristol and moved (wooed) the event there and it is now a regular event instead of the All Star race it was started as...The Rockingham Dragway is now host to 2 IHRA national events per year. NC is bad for calling tracks by wrong monikors, the Lowe's Motor Speedway used to be called the Charlotte Motor Speedway and is located near downtown Concord (about 20 minutes North of Charlotte off Hwy 85). I guess Concord Speedway was already taken by the small track the DEJ used to run modifieds at and Humpy/Bruton couldn't wrangle the naming rights away from the tiny track. About the only one they named properly was North Wilksboro. It is right outside of the town off Hwy 421 and sits eeriely quiet nowadays though I hear TRAC has it on their possible venue list. Had NW stayed 'in business', my guess is Lowe's would have bought the naming rights to that track as the Lowe's stores chain was founded in North Wilksboro, which is also home to Junior Jonhson's sausage company and was his home base during his years in the racing game. Makes since since it is in the foothills of the mountains here in NC and Junior was indeed a moon shiner before getting into NASCAR. NW is a sorely missed short track on the circuit today, I guess they favor the cooky cutter 1.5 mile tracks now...I still have it in NASCAR Legends though, hehe. Trivia tidbit: Who won the last NASCAR Winston Cup race at North Wilksboro? Was it A) Darryl Waltrip B) Dale Earnhardt (Sr) C) Terry Labonte or D) Jeff Gordon? Keep in mind the track closed in the early 90's... I am pretty sure the answer is D) Jeff Gordon. Was there last fall and the walls in the local Applebees are a shrine to the track and the people involved with it. I think JG was the winner in the last event there before NASCAR took it off the schedule.

The arcade game Rush (The Rock) had an Alcatraz track. Always liked that game-trying to find hidden shortcuts to improve your lap times... John DiFool
NW's a great track; what stock car racing is, or at least, was all about until Nascar became cool. Re the trivia, 1996 was it's last year on the WC circuit........think it was Jeffy? I tend to block his victories out, on purpose :) -John "CarGuy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1msh8.27947$[email hidden]...

'96 huh? I was thinking more like '94 but couldn't remember and spewed all that useless trivia out from memory waiting on a business call this morning....I do think Jeffy was the last winner, though I am no huge fan of his either...1996, Sounds ok to me, and that does play into about when NASCAR started to become 'cool', good way of putting that. I saw N.W. again when Darryl W and Junior J were getting ready to take his old Monte Carlo to the Goodwood Speed thing over in England this past year, they shook it down at the track (and was covered by Totally NASCAR). The track looked very neglected indeed, I think they had to pull some weeds out of the asphalt before he could run...what a shame. The Mrs and I have a cabin in (somewhat) nearby Boone, NC and used to go to the races there until 1994. We then started hopping over to (somewhat) nearby Bristol and going to the August night race there. It would be nice to go to N.W. again, maybe TRAC will run there if they ever actually become a racing body instead of a PR body. I hear us North Carolinians are going to share a team with the South Carolinians thy way we share the NFL Carolina Panthers. Hopefully the TRAC 'team' will fare better. *(somewhat): relative term in rural NC, means more than � hour and less than 2 hours away.
Yep, I'm sure '96 was it. Bob Bahre(Loudon track owner) owns it now, and last year, he literally said, "It can rot as fas I'm concerned" regarding NW. Yet, he won't sell it either. Really to bad; ring the top with suites for the smoozers like Bristol, build up the other stands, and it'd be rolling in the big time. But Nascar already thinks the SE is an over-saturated market, so it's a "when hell freezes over" type of affair. Heck, not even Busch or trucks are running there........nothing at all. Some of the best races I remember were at that track. -John "CarGuy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zHwh8.28119$[email hidden]... > > John Pancoast <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > NW's a great track; what stock car racing is, or at least, was allabout > > until Nascar became cool. > > > > Re the trivia, 1996 was it's last year on the WC circuit........thinkit
