CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight:

This week we are staying in the Sanford/Broadway, NC area & keeping it in the Sloan Family as we focus on Mr. Tim Sloan. Tim is 70 years young & has been racing for 54 years. The car that you will generally see him in is his 1998 Pontiac Grand Am powered by a Sloan Racing Engines 302 CI. Occasionally you will find him behind the wheel of his daughter Hillarey's 1971 Duster or in Stock the other purple Duster. His primary sponsor is Sloan Racing Engines. Tim also runs CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association as well as NHRA Southeast Division 2 races. Tim's most memorable win is his last win which was in October 2021 for the NHRA Southeast Division 2 National Open Series race at Rockingham Dragway. He claims his most epic fail is running out of fuel & losing to Hillarey in the finals of the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association at Mooresville Dragway. (I don't think these 2 incidents are the same run but I could be wrong.) He gives Special Thanks to his wife, Sheila, who is always be his side at every race. Tim didn't enter the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association points series in 2021 as he got a late start but attended most of the races at the end of the season. He did however enter the points for the 2022 season so pay attention to where he will finish this year.

Tim owns & operates Sloan Racing Engines in Sanford, NC. He is a very, well-known engine builder & has been building tons of Stock/Super Stock engines for many years. At most races, you will find Tim & his family helping their fellow racers/customers whenever an issue arises. Stop by his pit area at the next race & tell him hello!
CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association will be back in action in just alittle over a week at KDS Motorsports. Hope everyone has a Happy & safe Memorial Day weekend. See y'all at the track next weekend.
