CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Just a quick reminder that CCRA race #4 is being held at Piedmont Dragway on Saturday, September 8th. This race is being sponsored by Ace Rug Cleaning of Louisburg, NC owned by Mr. Jim Reynolds!!! This will be our 2nd stop of the year at Piedmont Dragway. I just spoke with Kevin and the schedule is as follows: Gates open 3 p.m., 1st time run 4:30 p.m., 2nd time run (Dash for Cash) 5:30 p.m., & race starts around 7 p.m. We have had quite a bit of a break from the CCRA series so I look forward to seeing everyone on this date!!!

Weather sure looks better for Sunday is there a chance this race could be ran on Sunday. Or does Piedmont already have somethiong scheduled

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Jeff, I sent Kevin an email earlier about this weekend & he responded & said that he would get back to me later. Today/tonight is Big Dog at Piedmont so I'm sure that is where his primary focus is. I will post here just as soon as I get more information from him.

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Thanks Tabitha. I've had a couple of calls tonight from racers. I sent Kevin an email as well. We will post as soon as we find out. Thanks for everyone's support.

Scott, weather just looks too iffy for us to make it. Not crazy about getting caught in a hailstorm nor a 75% heavy thunderstorm this afternoon, toooo much money in body/paintwork. Hope car count is good if y'all get it in. Hope to see you at next one!

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

I'm w/ Jim on this one. I finally have my car together and loaded but just not crazy about going w/ the strong possibilities of severe thunderstorms. It's a shame we couldn't run it tomorrow as it looks like a beautiful forecast and nowhere to race.

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

I just got off the phone with Kevin. We are going to cancell the race today. I'm going to get back with him later today, once he gets to the track to set a new date. Unfortunately, we can't run it tomorrow. I will post later today once we set the date.

Thanks
Scott Tilley

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

We are with all of you about wanting to run the race tomorrow but Kevin does not have enough staff to run the event tomorrow. Like Scott stated, we are looking at a few different dates and just as soon as we have it, one of us will get it posted. Thanks for your understanding and continued support!!!

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Hey guys! We were coming over to race with you today, but looks like we are out of luck! We are in Wytheville, VA now on our way for the 640 mile trip. We are on our way to Charlotte for the race next week, so thought we would race the combo with you tonight. I guess we will find a Walmart or somewhere to park down that way until Monday. Maybe see you in Charlotte next week??

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Hey Larry and Patsy, sure would love to have met you both and watched that beautiful car. Have enjoyed all your race updates.

Does anyone have results, photos?

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Well it took 3 tries but we finally got this race in the books. I can honestly say that it was well worth the wait. Tracy Robbins joined the points today & then won the $25 Kenny Koonce Jr. Dash for Cash which qualifies him for the special shootout race to be held at our last event at Fayetteville. We had 45 cars make the first round call which is the best for the 2012 season!!! Sterling Simmons won the $50 Best Losing Package. That's ok Sterling, since you left I'll have your $$$ next weekend :)!! Phil Hilling won the $50 for his .001 reaction time during 2nd round. He was also the lone semi-finalist. Ken Myrick took the win today when his opponent Doug Hobgood went red. Thanks to everyone that came out today & have been supporting the CCRA during the 2012 season. As of today, we are 1/2 way through our schedule. We have a race next Saturday at Darlington Dragway, next Sunday at Fayetteville Motorsports Park, followed by another one at Piedmont & Fayetteville in November.

Doug Hobgood .012 6.04 6.279 96.00

Re: CCRA Race #4--Piedmont Dragway
 

Thanks to all the racers who came out today. It's the largest field that the CCRA has ever had!!! Also thanks to Piedmont Dragway for putting on a great show and providing us a great place to race. Also, make sure you thank Tabitha for doing a great job with keeping up with all the programs, points and photos. She has been instrumental in obtaining sponsorship for the CCRA this year.
Hope to see everyone at Darlington and Fayetteville next weekend!!

Thanks
