LIVE from CCRA @ Piedmont - Page 2

Perfect weather and a nice cross tailwind at Piedmont Dragway, along with a new concession pavilion and completely remodeled and tiled modern bathrooms greeted a big crowd of Stock/Super Stock cars for the first race in the Bobby Murray Chevrolet Carolina Class Racers Association. I count at least 35 cars. We are the feature show running alongside a test n' tune. Looks like some guys stopped by on the way home from Gainesville. Saw Rob Carpenter's Cobalt, and The Tax Group's H/SM Cobalt.

73.5 deg, 30%, 29.30, 1862' DA, cross tailwind, gusty hit n' miss. (It quit blowing during my 2nd qualifying run). --rolls eyes--

Had a good warmup at Farmington yesterday, winning the Race of Champions (shootout for all 2009-2010 event winners at that track). Felt good to shake my 2011 curse. We'll see how today goes!

Thanks to Scott Tilley for picking up the CCRA reigns, and to Piedmont for hosting the event!

Got tons of pics, will try to post tonight.
