CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight

This week we are going to "spotlight" Mr. Lil' Wally/Eagle Brent Pozzi! Brent is a transplant to NC as he moved here in 2008 from Rochester, NY & currently calls Knightdale home. He got his first job out of college & that's what brought him to NC. His older brother Mike wasn't far behind as he moved to NC in 2009 & the parents finally decided to call NC home in 2014. He has a multitude of cars now in his stable ("Hey Mike, go pull another one out of the trailer") but we're going to focus on his 1969 Chevrolet Camaro aka Storm Trooper II. It is powered by a BBC 396 built by his dad, Mr. Al Pozzi. He has been racing for only a short 5 years but has plenty of years left under his belt. His most memorable win is his 2021 GALOT Motorsports Park NHRA Southeast Division 2 National Open win. He raced his good buddy & now engine builder, Robbie Draughon in this final. That final has started all sorts of 💩 talking that has taken place in the off season so y'all be sure to "run to the fence" when you see them paired up in 2022. He gives Special Thanks to his crew members: Mom, Dad, brother Mike, & Bert Powell (their 2nd dad). His most epic fail & a memory that he'd like to forget is his dead battery in the staging lanes going into the finals of the Saturday CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association race in November at Coastal Plains Raceway Park Dragway. Brent didn't enter the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association points at our first race of 2021 on Saturday & then did pretty good in the race so fellow racer Jeff Longhany convinced him to enter the points series on the Sunday race. Brent ended up finishing in the 7th Place for the 2021 CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Points Series & he gets reminded on a regular basis that he could have finished higher if he wasn't so "tight" with his money on Saturday.

The Pozzi Brothers are also a fun crowd to be around. Mike wants to know all about the engines, etc & Brent just wants to be told who he has next & when it's time to race. So if you're looking for some fun entertainment at the track, find Brent & Mike & I can promise you your stomach will be hurting when you leave.
