We were able to start the Sunday race around the close advertised start time even after completing the Saturday race portions earlier that morning. On Sundays our only run before eliminations is the Warren Engines sponsored Dash for Cash. Madison Wilson was the winner of that were she was dialed a 6.80 & ran a 6.8000 @ 98.30 mph. She received $100.00 cash & 1st round bye eligibility. Unfortunately we had breakage of 3 cars during Dash that we unable to make it for the 1st round call so we had 30 cars make 1st round. Reggie Lytch is his new to him Stock Eliminator Camaro received the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package. He had a .0174 RT, ran a 6.7221 @ 100.20 mph on his 6.71 dial. Mr. JIm Morgan received the Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants 2nd Round Best Package & got himself a 5 gallon pail of PRO 112+ racing fuel. he was dialed a 6.47, had a .0483 RT, & ran a 6.4785 @ 99.32 mph. Sunday's semi-finalist was Joseph Strickland taking the loss to Don Shuford & Stacie Ridings taking a tough loss to Homer Carty. Unfortunately for Shuford, the finals was over at the hit when he lit the red bulb -.0051 to Homer's .0361 RT. Homer went on to run a 6.2269 @ 100.04 mph on his 6.20 dial. In addition to Homer's race winnings, he received another Eagle trophy, a trailer check, $100.00 gift certificate from Altronics Inc, a can of #FOGGIT, an #E3 Ignition certificate for a set of spark plugs, a 50% off one item from Zamp Racing, $100.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, $100.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, & a 5 gallon pail of #Fuel Factory F12 racing fuel. Shuford (once again a bridesmaid) received his race winnings, a smaller trailer check, a $50.00 gift certificate from Meziere Enterprises, an #E3 Ignition certificate for a set of spark plugs, $50.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, $50.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, & a 5 gallon pail of #Fuel Factory F8 racing fuel. Stacie Ridings earned herself the Dunn Logging Company sponsored The Paul Bunyan/Best RT time award for her .0055 RT during R1. Jake Melton had to have his race rig & trailer towed in by fellow racer, Terry Hiatt on Friday evening & then suffered starter troubles on Sunday morning & was unable to make the race call so he was awarded the McLawhorn Racing sponsored Hard Luck award & Terry Hiatt received the Wisecarver Brothers Racing Sportsmanship award. I say it all the time but I honestly feel like we have the best group of racers within our 2 racing associations!!! Frank Beasley got the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter money for taking out Saturday/Sunday morning race winner Kevin Locklear in R1. Hillarey Marshall once again received the Performance Sealing and Striping Best Winning Package award. She was dialed a 6.32, had a .0248 RT, & ran a 6.3227 @ 104.99 mph. Mr. Ed McLawhorn got the Gutters by Design/Worst RT for his .2323 RT during R1 which resulted in a round loss. Dennis Pope's tech card was pulled at randon on Sunday morning to receive a $35.00 Visa gift card sponsored by Half Moon Marketplace for the "Act of Giving Back".

Our final two races of the 2024 season will be November 23rd & 24th at The Dragway at Coastal Plains Park. We will also have our annual Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving dinner on Saturday (more details to come). I'm sure many of our racers will be competing at the NHRA Southeast Division 2 race this coming weekend at Rockingham Dragway so we'll be pulling for there.

See y'all in a few day!!!
