LIVE from CCRA Combo, Fayetteville NC
70.4 deg, 23%, 29.91 baro, 883' DA, with 'bout a 3 mph cross head, although it picks up from time to time. Good crowd on hand, probably in the upper 30's for car count. Seen some southern visitors, like Bill Howell with his old Mustang, Tom Gould, and Ronnie Courtney. Off to take pics!
(And here comes more wind.....!)

Michael,
Other than the wind gusts, it looks to be a beautiful day! Were you able to get a spot up close or are you in the "pasture"? Looking forward to your reportage today! Lew |

Re: LIVE from CCRA Combo, Fayetteville NC
Looks like 18 coming back for Rnd 2.
Yup, nice spot at the fence about half track. Sorry for little reports, running pretty fast program. We're in the lanes for Rnd 2, they're dragging the track now. I'll be first vs AJ Currie, then Jeff Warren driving Doyle Evans' G/SA Camaro vs Marvin Strickland. Ed Longhaney http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f..._longhaney.jpg Mike Longhaney, runner-up today! http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f..._longhaney.jpg Jeff Longhaney http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f..._longhaney.jpg Phil Hilling http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...11/hilling.jpg Curtis Smith, Jr. http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...le11/smith.jpg Kevin Riner http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...le11/riner.jpg |

Re: LIVE from CCRA Combo, Fayetteville NC
Strickland red vs Rowe
Warren's son let me go by .005 ... Didn't get to see the rest. We'll be down to 5 cars. Everybody's in the money now, at least $100. $150 semi, $800 R/U, $1700 or so to win. Rowe on the bye Peterson vs Longhaney Beard vs Simmons Jeff Warren was driving Doyle Evans' G/SA Camaro http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...le11/evans.jpg No video, but here's an in-car camera shot of Willis puttin' em in the air! http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...11/wheelie.jpg |
Re: LIVE from CCRA Combo, Fayetteville NC
Peterson red to Mike Longhaney (A/SA Camaro), both under .01
Beard .031 and dead-on vs Simmons, .02 breakout Rowe - bye |
Re: LIVE from CCRA Combo, Fayetteville NC
Beard .030, out by an hour vs Rowe's .020, dead-on 1
Longhaney had the bye. |
Re: LIVE from CCRA Combo, Fayetteville NC
Last Fall, Brian Rowe was RU here at the Warren S/SS, but today gets it done in CCRA race #2, taking out Mike Longhaney in the finals. Rowe was #2 in the World in IHRA for 2010, driving Richie DeCola's E/FIA Camaro (BTW, it's for sale!)
With a RU and a semi, I believe the Duck Tape Turismo is leading the points. Great turnout, great race... Two in a row! Thanks to Scott Tilley for picking up the reigns of the CCRA, and to Fayetteville for hosting us. Final Round, Greg Rowe (far) vs Mike Longhaney (near) http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...1/final_bo.jpg http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...nal_launch.jpg (That's not tire smoke, BTW.... it was putting out a little all the way down track all day. I think she's got a pretty loose ring package in her!) ;) http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...scoreboard.jpg WINNAH Brian Rowe! Thanks to Bobby Murray Chevrolet for the Iron Tree trophies. http://www.staginglight.com/photos/f...owe_winner.jpg |
