Mooresville Dragway Race #5 & #6 Results

Saturday we had 40 entries make 1st round call. Mr. John Meinelt & his Midnight Rider 67 Camaro made their way down all the way from DeLand, FL & picked up a $100 for his Warren Engines sponsored Dash for Cash win. He ran a 7.1404 on his 7.14 dial. Mr. John & his wife Patricia was so appreciative of the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association & I think they were welcomed by all of our racers & crew. 1st Round Best Losing Package sponsored by Victory Lane Golf Carts went to Kevin Locklear. He was dialed a 6.82, had a .0185 RT, & ran a 6.8318 at 95.24 mph. 2nd Round Best Losing Package sponsored by Ford's Fuel and Propane/Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants went to CJ McDonald. CJ had one of his 5 .00x RT over the weekend where he was .0014 & broke out running 7.3817 on his 7.40 dial. Junior Bryant was the lone semi-finalist. Steve Lucas took the victory over Raymond Roland. Steve used a .0034 RT to get the Eagle trophy. Steve ran a 7.0324 on his 7.01 dial. Raymond wasn't far behind with his .0141 RT, running a 7.1930 on his 7.17 dial. CJ McDonald received the Paul Bunyan "Best Reaction Time" sponsored by Auto Plus Service Center for his 2nd Round .0014 RT. Avery McLawhorn was awarded the Hard Luck Award sponsored by McLawhorn Racing. He has been fighting "new car blues" for all 6 of our races but have still been here supporting us & not giving up. Avery declined taking the award & asked us to keep it & use for a later date.

Sunday we had 39 entries but Stacie Ridings suffered some "hopefully minor" engine damage during our Dash for Cash run & was unable to make the call for 1st round so we had 38 cars make 1st round call. Homer Carty took the $100 for the Warren Engines Dash for Cash. He ran a 6.1408 on his 6.14 dial. Hillarey Sloan, out for the 1st race in 2021, claimed the 1st Round Best Losing Package sponsored by Victory Lane Golf Carts. She had a .0706 RT, ran a 6.4012 on her 6.40 dial. Steve Johns, racing with us for the 1st time, (just heard about our association on Thursday from Kevin Wideman) received the 5 gallons of PRO 112+ racing fuel sponsored by Ford's Fuel and Propane/Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants for his 2nd Round Best Losing Package. Steve lost in a tight race. He was dialed on a 6.32, had a .0287 RT, & ran a 6.3234. His buddy works for VP Racing Fuels & he was going to "stir the pot" & send him the picture of his holding his 5 gallons of Renegade Race Fuels. 🙂 Robbie Draughon was our lone semi-finalist. The finals was a repeat of Saturday but this time, they traded their titles of Winner & Runner-up. Raymond Roland came out of top on Sunday. He used a .0078 RT to claim his Eagle trophy. Steve Lucas went for it in the finals & turned on the dreaded redlight by -.0076. CJ McDonald had held the best reaction time bettering it 2 additional times but when Raymond Roland ended up receiving the The Paul Bunyan "Best Reaction Time" sponsored by Auto Plus Service Center when he had his .0078 RT in the finals. Stacie Ridings will be awarded the Hard Luck Award on behalf of the McLawhorn Racing Team for her tough luck with engine failure during Dash for Cash.

We only have a few weeks off & then we'll be back in action on August 14th & 15th at GALOT Motorsports Park in Benson, NC. On behalf of the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association, we want to give a special THANK YOU for the Mooresville Dragway staff for the great track conditions over the weekend. Also THANK YOU to all of our 2021 sponsors & our racers! We couldn't do any of this without all of y'all!
