Carolina Class Racers Association
Attn Racers, Tracy Robbins and myself have talked at lengths about the Stock Super Stock Series in the Carolinas and I have decided to do something that was done years ago it was just called SCRA back then. We are forming the Carolina Class Racers Assoc. to help promote class racing in the State of NC. We are not looking for any membership dues fees or any other BS just an orgianization that can do what is best to support class racing. We will have a 10 race schedule for 2009 with a racers claiming 6 of the possible 10 races. If you would like to be a part of the CCRA please respond with your ideas as we are here to listen. We will have a lunch in January at The Cutting Board in Burlington NC on a Saturday at noon. Not sure on the date as of yet as I wll get back to you on that. It will be RSVP. I hope this is good news to most as we have a few sponsors lined up for a points fund and are looking for more.

Re: Carolina Class Racers Association
That sounds great Herb! I think the Association needs to pick a rule book and stick with it. Not just as they see fit as some organizations do.

Re: Carolina Class Racers Association
When you say pick a rule book I'm not sure I understand. We have run quite a few combos with no problem. There are no heads up runs so you can your IHRA or NHRA combo.

Re: Carolina Class Racers Association
Sounds like a great idea - definately don't charge a fee, get some jazzy decals, create a myspace page and an email list - maybe some kind of emailed news letter every so often....basically doing all this creates a network if you will, and you can better get the word out about your races. All the stuff you've probably already came up with

Re: Carolina Class Racers Association
This does mean that every racer must take 1 dive against me in these races. Gotta take it easy on the class virgin
