After going .005 red first round Friday, we decided to start heading north. While driving, I decided to make a stop at Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville, NC to hit the first day of the St. Patrick's Day Classic run by our own Michael Beard. Went out 2nd round there and decided to continue on the trip home. There were a few stockers on the grounds, so I had to take a few pics.

I didn't go many rounds, but it was a great trip. Got to meet many new friends and caught up with a few I hadn't seen in a long time. Of course, after so many days of nice weather, I had to come home to more of the white stuff on the ground...

Until next time...
Thanks for stopping, Jeff! Dusty Lowell and Bubba Linke came in late Saturday night on their way home as well, and raced Sunday. It was two days of $10K to win races for both Top ET (Super/Pro) and Footbrake. We had a total of 260 entries between the two classes. Great, exhausting weekend. Kept on the run, running the lanes, playing race director, handing out over $9,000 in prizes, and whatever else, so I didn't get a chance to visit like I wanted to, but appreciate everyone who attended, very much!



This week, I get to put my car back together and go racing myself!
