Saturday Race #2 Results:

Since we had had a few hiccups with the weather, we opted to go straight into Round #1 of eliminations & just add the $100.00 from Warren Engines for the Dash for Cash to this race's purse. We had a spectator draw a random tech card for the Half Moon Marketplace "Act of Giving Back" award & Homer Carty was the winner of the Visa gift card. We had 25 cars make the 1st round car with 1 car suffering breakage. Jamey Caudill, also still in competition in Top ET, had a first round loss in CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association. He was dialed a 6.81, had a 0.025 RT, & ran a 6.833 for the loss. He received the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package award which is also the owner of the Camaro that Jamey drives. Fresh off her victory just an hour or so ago, Hillarey Marshall found herself with a tough loss in round #2 of competition. However she didn't leave empty handed from this race as she got a 5 gallon pail of PRO 112+ fuel courtesy of Ford's Fuel and Propane/ Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants. She was dialed a 6.26, had a 0.013 RT, & broke out running 6.253 for the L. In the semi's, we had Brent Pozzi & Tim Sloan. Brent was dialed a 6.70, had a .054 RT & ran 6.758. Tim was dialed a 6.04, had a .056 RT, & ran a 6.064. Saturday race #2 brought it all down to Homer Carty & Kevin Locklear. This will be the 3rd time in the finals for Locklear in the 2023 CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association season. Homer said in the finals, "Kevin messed that one up & gave it to me". Homer was dialed a 6.23, had a .039 RT, & ran off his dial to run a 6.283 for the victory. Kevin was dialed a 6.67, had a .059 RT, & broke out running 6.668. Kevin said this is his 3rd time of being a bridesmaid & he wants himself one of those Eagle trophies. He still has 4 races left for the year to collect one so everyone be aware he is on the hunt. Homer collected another Eagle trophy to add to his collection (Dennis Pope was trying to buy it), a large trailer check courtesy of MJ Printing & Graphics, $300.00 gift certificate from QA1 & $100.00 gift certificate from ATI Performance Products. Kevin now has (3) $100.00 gift certificates from Altronics Inc, (3) $50.00 gift certificates from Meziere Enterprises, & (3) $50.00 gift certificates from ATI Performance Products. Jim Morgan won the $50.00 from Auto Plus Service Center for the Paul Bunyan/Best RT award for his .006 RT in Round #1. Homer Carty collected the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter award for taking out Hillarey Marshall in round #2. Mike Pozzi received the Butner Construction Sportsmanship Award for assisting his brother after the electric fan failed after his round #1 win. They went into full blown "heads up mode" to keep the car cool. Homer Carty was the winner of the Crew Chief Pro Software Best Winning Package of the race for once again his round #2 win against Hillarey. He was dialed a 6.25, had a .008 RT & ran a 6.243 for the W. Dennis Pope got the first round win in the 2nd race of the day but he said he had no idea how he did it as he was awarded the Gutters by Design/Worst Light of the race with his .185 RT.

Our next CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association race will be our only 1/4 mile event of the year held at Darlington Dragway on October 14-15. This will be our first time here in many years & also under the current management of Mr. Jeff Miles. We are all looking forward to this event & hope to surpass yet another record for the 2023 season. In the meanwhile, our racers will likely be participating in this weekend's NHRA Southeast Division 2 race at GALOT Motorsports Park, followed by the NHRA national event at zMAX DRAGWAY, & then closing out the month of September with the NHRA Northeast Division at Virginia Motorsports Park.

See y'all at the track!!!
