Rocket testing @ Charlotte today

[james777777]

Per the Rocket FB page, they were at Charlotte prepping for testing today. How come their competitors aren't testing?

They will be. Today is Rocket Chassis day.

Nothing new. Happens every year.

Why do they test for this race every year? Not like it’s the biggest payday

[zyoung25]

It's an invitation deal. I haven't really figured out why they pick that place either. That place is hard on tires as it is. But then again, most of the teams that go down there aren't really worried about the cost of tires.

Was at Zmax for NHRA drag racing Thurs thru Monday weekend before last and they were watering and working the dirt track everyday. Wondered why they were working track so soon so now I know.

With the only handful of shows ran at Charlotte in a year, these test sessions are likely as much for the track prep crew as the teams. Likely helps season in the track for the world finals as well. A lot easier to make mistakes and fix them on the prep and watering without all the fans around.

What was the winner’s share when they ran the Colossal?

Rocket leased the track and anyone was welcome for a fee. They had a post on twitter stating their track date and that spots were available for purchase. Doubt leasing the track for a night is cheap.
