Shewwww is the best word to use today! WE are tired boss! 🥱😴 The 2024 CCRA is officially over as of 6 p.m. yesterday at the completion of race #12 at The Dragway at Coastal Plains Park. Mother Nature being the "witch" she is has throwed us a few curveballs this year but as a TEAM, we overcame all of those obstacles.

It was a cold November day starting Saturday morning & we tried to make the best of it. The pits at The Dragway at Coastal Plains Park were packed & the action on the track was great. We started with our normal time run, then followed up by our Warren Engines Dash for Cash. Jake Melton cashed in early, picking up the first $100.00 of the day. He was dialed a 6.31 & ran a 6.311. There were a total of 4 dead on runs in Dash for Cash. We had 36 cars make the 1st round call to the lanes. Unfortunately due to weather/track conditions, the decision was made to cancel Saturday's race after a handful of cars run 1st round. It was deemed unsafe conditions & we would re-run the cars that had previously race Saturday night when we started up on Sunday morning. Thanks to Wes Ellis & Ronnie Humphrey for allowing us extra time on Sunday, starting at 10:30 a.m. with plans of completing two full races on Sunday.
We woke up to a beautiful morning on Sunday with temps reaching high 60* which made for a perfect day of racing. Our races cooperated with us & we were on the track a few minutes before 10:30 a.m. Dell Britt unfortunately found himself on the losing side of a good run during 1st round to receive the Victory Lane Golf Carts First Round Best Losing Package. Dell had a .051 RT, ran a 6.838 at 96.21 mph on his 6.82 dial. John Lattimore, back racing with us for the first time in a few years due to multiple surgeries, was the only driver on the + side of his run during round 2. He received 5 gallons of Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants PRO 112+ racing fuel for his losing efforts. He had a .005 RT, but ran a 6.825 @ 100.89 mph on his 6.74 dial. The lone semi-finalist was Jaymes Rawlings. This was Jaymes' first time competing with CCRA after building a competitive SS combination & he said we will be seeing more of him in 2025. Unfortunately for Jaymes, he timed out in the semi's which is the 1st time he has ever done that in all of his years of racing. BTW, if you need some custom headers built, he sure to reach out to Jaymes & his business Hippie Fabrication. You won't be disappointed in the quality of his work. The finals brings us veteran racer, Doug Hobgood & younger gun, Andrew Hilling. Neither driver was stellar at the hit but Doug picked up the victory from the double breakout run. Doug was dialed a 5.89, had a 0.104 RT & ran a 5.886 @ 113.81 mph while Andrew was dialed a 6.33, had a 0.152 RT & ran a 6.322 @ 105.84 mph. Doug received his race winnings, a trailer check from MJ Custom Printing & Graphics, a $100.00 gift certificate from Altronics Inc, a can of FOGGIT, a certificate for a set of E3 Ignition spark plugs, $100.00 gift certificate to Crew Chief Pro Software, $100.00 gift certificate to Edelbrock Performance, $100.00 gift certificate to COMP Cams, & a 5 gallon pail of Fuel Factory F12 racing fuel. Andrew received his race winnings as well as a smaller trailer check from MJ Custom Printing & Graphics, a $50.00 gift certificate from Portatree Timing Systems, a certificate for a set of spark plugs from E3 Ignition, a $50.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, $50.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, & a 5 gallon pail of F8 Fuel Factory racing fuel.

Homer Carty received the Dunn Logging Company sponsored Paul Bunyan "Best Reaction Time" award for his .002 RT during R1. Don Sweeting suffered engine failure & was unable to compete in today's race so we received the McLawhorn Racing Hard Luck Award. Race winner, Doug Hobgood also received the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter award after taking out the Sunday Darlington Dragway race winner, Homer Carty, in R3 & he also got the Gutters by Design/Worst RT award for his 0.684 RT during the semis when Jaymes Rawlings timed out. The Wisecarver Brothers Sportsmanship Award was given to Dell Britt for always supporting his friends & their racing endeavors even if he loses out early in a race. Dell is always one to see hanging around the track pulling for his friends! The Performance Sealing and Striping Best Winning Package went to Andrew Hillings for his R3 win. He had a .006 RT, ran a 6.345 @ 104.15 mph on his 6.33 dial.
