2013 CCRA Season

[SCOTT TILLEY]

For the 2013 season, we will be claiming the best 6 out of 8 races. The CCRA runs Stock and Super Stock as one eliminator, therefore double entries are NOT allowed.

I’m trying to put together a second chance race for each of our 8 events. First and second losers would be able to enter for a $25.00 entry fee, which like our primary race is 100% payback. For example, with a 15 car field, the payout would be $250.00 for the winner and $125.00 for the runner up. Roxboro Motorsports has committed to add $200.00 to the pot for the second chance race. The other tracks said they may be able to kick some in as well. I am looking for sponsors for the second chance race as well as a Dash for Cash sponsor. Listed below are the sponsorships we still have available..


Dash for Cash Shootout Sponsorship is $900.00

The dash for cash will take place at every event, on the second qualifying run. All racers that want to participate will dial-in their car and the racer with the closest E.T. to their dial combined with their reaction time will win $25.00 and be qualified for the shoot-out at the end of the year. The shoot-out will consist of 8 different racers. The winner will receive $500.00 and a champion’s trophy that will have your logo and company name on it, the runner up will receive $200.00. Your company will be advertised at all events as the “Your Company Dash for Cash” and as the “Your Company Shoot Out” at the last race of the season. As well as all the advertisement that will be on facebook, twitter, classracer.com, dragracecentral.com, flyers and other media that may be used.

Second Chance Race sponsorship is $950.00

For 2013, we want to give the racers that lost in the first and second round of eliminations a second chance to win. Entry for each of the eight races will be $25.00. The entry fee money combined with your company sponsorship of $100.00 plus plaque per race and any monies that the track is willing to put in the pot would be awarded to the winner and runner up. Plaques will be given out to the winner of each of the 8 second chance races with your logo and company name on them. As well as all the advertisement that will be on facebook, twitter, classracer.com, dragracecentral.com, flyers and other media that may be used.

Program Sponsorship is $400.00 (for the year or $50.00 per race.)

Any type of program you choose, from best losing package to the closest to dial in or any other type of program that you would like to see.

No Set Dollar Amount Sponsorship

A sponsorship of $ gift certificates, products, or money donations to the CCRA point’s fund, will gladly be accepted.

*All companies that provide a sponsorship will be provided a receipt from the Carolina Class Racers Association that you can deduct from your taxes as an advertising expense.

With your help, the CCRA can keep class racing alive and thriving!!!

since this is a association i think we should take a vote on allowing racers with a stock and a super stock car to allow a double entry, i think this should be up us the races to decide by vote and you pick your points claim before the first qualifying roud( im not trying to step on toes here, just think we should look into this). i think this will be a good idea more cars equals more rd money a bigger payout and points fund

also thanks scott for a great schedule and thank you to all sponsors envolved, im ready to get the season started

On double entrys if u have a stocker and super stocker its to different car setup and class rules which we r allowed to run both class in Ihra or Nhra class on the same weekend. I know of 10 people runing ccra right now that would run two cars thats 750 more dollars per race thats more than what Ihra runner up money is I agree with Brandon there should be a vote

[SCOTT TILLEY]

The CCRA is a Stock/Super Stock Combo Class Racing association. Stock and Super Stock is run as one eliminator. I don't know of any IHRA/NHRA event that you can drive 2 cars in the same eliminator, except maybe a bracket race. We are not a bracket racing association. The CCRA was started to allow legal IHRA/NHRA Stock and Super Stock cars and trucks an alternative place to race. And to follow IHRA/NHRA class rules and race regulations. This is the main reason I have started a second chance race. To give CLASS racers another chance to win at a very low cost.

If you have any questions please contact me.

Thank You

Other than putting more money in the pot, what would be the advantage for all the racers and the association? There is none. The advantage would only be for the ones that have two cars entered. You get double the hits on the tree and when it comes down to having to run yourself, which car do you think you will pick to win? Of course the one you are claiming for the points. It is an unfair advantage.

Thanks

right scott good point who needs more cars more support from the races i forgot if we allow that then we are comparing it to bracket racing..whatever man.

i guess we have no say in anything that happens at these races, years ago this was supposed to be something fun for all of us to do instead of high prices and long waits at the nationals, i have no problem with rules and i think a second chance race is a great idea to have at the combos, but what is the problem with a person that has a STOCKER and a SUPER STOCKER being able to race at the same event IHRA allows this at there track hosted combos, and you can run both cars i did it at rockingham a few years ago..if im going to drive to VMP for a combo i would like to take 2 cars, there is no extra hits on the tree thats a moot point no car is exactly the same so saying i get a time run in both cars that is no extra time on the tree leaving with a transbrake is not the same as leaving with a footbrake, make it 1 time run per car then if thats the problem i have no problem making a run in my ss car and a run in my stocker and thats it, thats the ww do it at the 2 day races...

Before the CCRA was actually formed, notification went out here on class racer concerning forming a Stock/Super Stock racing association. The meeting was held in a central location which was Burlington, N.C. Only a handful of racers showed up to give their inputs and suggestions on how the association should be ran. The racers that attended that meeting agreed that it should be ran off of IHRA's rulebook so all classes could race. Since NHRA didn't allow crate motors and such. This class racing association, known as the Carolina Class Racers Association was born that day. The association was formed to give legal Stock and Super Stock racers an alternative place to race without the high cost and to keep class racing alive and not to have to worry about bracket racing. We have all built cars or bought cars to class race with, why would we want to dilute that by allowing bracket racing rules?
I would like to see, as well others that have expressed to me, the CCRA grow large enough that we could have class run offs, heads up runs and to have a tech person on sight at every race. We are not at that point yet, but we are a growing association that is getting new members and racers every year. The CCRA is doing this by keeping the integrity of class racing alive.

Please PM me or call me if you have any concerns and lets keep the CCRA class racer page friendly and upbeat. There are potential sponsors out there and the last thing we want to do is set the example of an association that is in disaray. We are not that type association and the CCRA racers are a "class" act,

I would not like to see double entries by a single drive. I do not object to running the SS guys, though I believe they have some advantage over the footbrake guys because of the transbrake. This can hold up the show waiting on the driver from an earlier round.

In addition, since one of the cars is not a 'points' car, it has the ability to put a points earning car out, acting as sort of a spoiler. Don't like that either.

The only way to consider this is might be to split stock and super stock until the later rounds, say quarter or semi finals. That makes setting up the show to complicated, so I think that is really not an option.

I think if you have two cars, and want to run both, get a second driver.

My 2 cents.
