N .C . Doctor bids a free Ride
Dr Cunningham from Greenville ,NC won a free ride down the Kinston Drag Strip. Scheduled for this Friday along with our local bracket race. The Doc will get to ride down the track in my" super duper" fast 66 nova L/SA. After that" if "he can stand the pressure he will take another ride in a wheels-up SS/GTFA 85 Camaro . He bidded on this at a charity auction in Greenville a couple weeks ago. We are having local TV station on hand for the news cast . Who knows we may have a Dr join the stock /superstock ranks after this. I will try to get the link when it shows on the news .Can't hurt can it.

Re: N .C . Doctor bids a free Ride
I agree with Micheal thats the kind of exposure that this sport need to to thrive for years to come. You can watch it on TV every weekend, but untill you've felt it you can't describe it. My father has sticker that says " Inside this car is a bloodborne diease that has no cure it's called Drag Racing !!"

Re: N .C . Doctor bids a free Ride
Back in the 1980's ( I believe ) once a month our local track, Ohio Valley Raceway had a co-pilot night. If your car was a 7 second or slower you could have a co- pilot with you. Even though it's a 1/8th mile track it still created some very interesting results when the passenger got out of the car. ( oh the good ol' days )

Re: N .C . Doctor bids a free Ride
If you fear the acceleration then get out. I was at D.Foley's racing school getting my license and it was surprising to see the look on two of the individuals faces after making a 330ft pass leaving off a transbrake. One was in a 9.15 148 mph door car while the other was in an 8 second dragster. The person in the door car lifted immediately once it jolted him into the back of the seat and the 2nd person in the dragster refused to go down the track that day for their license runs and was scared out of their wits.
