Rockingham Motor Speedway opened on 26th May, 2001 and at the moment is the only UK host for American style Stock Car racing - SCSA, formerly Days of Thunder and ASCAR.
And so it came to pass that the Dawson family (including my mother whose 1 meeting at Aycliffe and 1 at Cadwell Park gives an idea of her interest in motor sport) made the trek from Birmingham to Rockingham for the first race date in 2002. Seeing a decent size pack of cars come together in rolling formation after a number warm-up laps to take the green got the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up. Usually a sensation reserved for the roller on world final night! Then to see 2 cars doing the best part of 2 laps door handle to door handle got me hooked.


2004 saw me with a season ticket to follow the series in full, complete with scanner to listen to the spotters. The dropping of a couple of perks for 2005 meant I didn't go for the season ticket again. Instead I just choose which meeting to attend. Probably just as well as some of the novelty may be wearing off as car numbers are down - though not to the detriment to the atmosphere - and the difference between the front runners and the rest started to become an issue.
